Time to unplug: Parvara’s new mountaintop retreat is now open
It’s not a hotel, nor a resort… it is a series of experiences for those seeking rare
With a wave of new hotels, resorts, and glamping destinations emerging across the UAE, Parvara in Fujairah offers something distinctly different. Neither hotel nor resort, Parvara defines its own category of hospitality – one grounded in silence, simplicity, and authentic lived experience.
At Parvara, it’s all about switching off and getting back to what really matters. It’s not about flashy luxury – it’s about space, silence, and simplicity.

Tucked away in Jabal al-Hamri – one of Fujairah’s highest peaks, the sanctuary invites guests to stay in minimal but beautifully crafted pavilions. Thoughtfully designed to blend comfort with simplicity, each structure harmonises effortlessly with the natural landscape. Far removed from the noise of the city, this is a place to embrace stillness and reconnect deeply with nature.
The all-inclusive experience includes food and immersive nature activities, all backed with meaning.
Foodies can enjoy Arabic-inspired breakfasts, flexible lunches and a fire-cooked feast for dinner prepared by chefs in the wilderness. Your dining experience is backed by Fujairah’s stunning mountain backdrops.

And if you are worried about harming nature, don’t worry. The UAE takes sustainability very seriously, and Parvara is designed to allow guests to explore the natural world with minimal impact and maximum respect.
Parvara is set to open in November 2025, and it sounds like a break most of us would love to embrace.
