Why It Matters
The Luxury Collection's debut hotel in Jordan and the first 5-star deluxe property in Aqaba. Part of the Saraya Aqaba master development alongside a beach club, waterpark with 25+ slides, and a souk. Architecture is rooted in Jordanian coastal tradition. The Chief Concierge holds Les Clefs d'Or membership — one of only five in the country.
Al Manara is The Luxury Collection's first hotel in Jordan — and it makes a strong case for Aqaba as a destination in its own right. The property sits at the mouth of the Saraya Lagoon on the Red Sea, and the architecture earns its keep: white stone facades, graceful arches, and symmetrical courtyards that pull from traditional Jordanian coastal design without tipping into pastiche. It holds 207 rooms across a full spectrum from Classic guest rooms to a Presidential Suite complete with its own sauna. The concierge team is led by a Les Clefs d'Or member, one of only five in all of Jordan — useful if you want a properly curated Petra or Wadi Rum day trip arranged without the usual hassle.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Classic Suite
The entry suite with authentic Jordanian decor, a signature king bed, and a separate sitting area. Collectible pieces styled in Aqaban tradition throughout.
King
King Classic Guest Room
Entry-level king room with a sitting area, desk, and fully equipped marble bathroom. Frette linens, Byredo amenities, and balcony access. A solid base if you spend most of your time by the pool.
KingKing Grand Classic Guest Room
48 sqm room with a terrace that includes sun lounges and outdoor seating — a meaningful upgrade from the base Classic if you want outdoor space to actually use.
King · 48 sqmKing Grand Superior Guest Room
Adds a 22 sqm terrace with pool and lagoon views. The extra outdoor square footage makes a real difference — this is where morning coffee gets genuinely enjoyable.
KingKing Premium Guest Room
Red Sea views are the headline here. Comes with a king bed, sofa, dining table, and two chairs — enough to eat in-room comfortably. The sea-facing aspect is a significant step up.
KingKing Prestige Guest Room
On the upper floors with serene lagoon views from the balcony. A king bed, sitting area and desk. Quieter and more elevated feel than lower-floor categories.
KingKing Superior Guest Room
48 sqm with unobstructed views of the infinity pool. Good middle-ground option — size is the same as the Grand Classic but the pool view changes the feel considerably.
King · 48 sqmPresidential Suite
The top of the stack. Comes with a dining room, full kitchen, plus a private steam room and sauna — not a common hotel room feature. For extended stays or those who want the works.
KingPrestige Penthouse Suite
On the sixth floor at 124 sqm. A full suite with generous living space, dining area, kitchen, and a grand terrace looking out over the Red Sea. This is the property's real showpiece — private butler service included.
King · 124 sqmSaraya Suite
Red Sea views from the bedroom, with a king bed, plush armchairs, and sofa. Named after the Saraya development. Designed for comfort over flash — everything you need, nothing gratuitous.
KingTwin/Twin Superior Guest Room
Same 48 sqm footprint as the Superior King but configured with two twin beds and lagoon views rather than pool-facing. Works well for friends or non-couple travel.
Twin · 48 sqmVilla Suite with Private Pool
One of two villas on-site, each with a private pool. Kitchenette, dining area, terrace, and sea views. Note: the private beach and communal villa pool area are currently closed for maintenance — confirm status before booking.
