Aqaba welcomed Jordan’s first Hyatt Regency when the Hyatt Regency Aqaba Ayla Resort made its debut on the northern shores earlier this month.

Set beside Marina Village, with 286 rooms and suites looking out across the mountains and waters, the new property will bring a melange of dining and entertainment options to a vibrant destination.

Cuisines from Italian through to traditional Jordanian will be on offer at the five restaurants, with Vista Lounge and Bar open for 24 hours serving cocktails and snacks.

At Olive Tree, the top olive oil producing countries are brought to life with Moroccan, Spanish, Greek and Lebanese flavours on offer, to name a few.

Meeting planners will be pleased to note the large pillar-less ballroom, complemented by an outdoor terrace for alfresco receptions while the six  additional meeting spaces are equipped with the latest tech.

A yoga garden, Turkish hammam and aqua spa experience will ensure that even business trips can remain utterly stress-free and for more leisurely moments, the infinity pool is a must.
