This pleasantly green haven boasts a river that ambles through the village-style complex of rustic two-storey apartments. Wooden screens and balconies allow guests to enjoy sea or garden views in private, while secluded seating areas around a superb infinity pool add to the ambience. The Zara Spa is particularly well-regarded.

Culinary high points include the Al Saraya buffet restaurant, a Thursday night barbecue and a prodigious Friday brunch. The Mövenpick charges nonguests JD50 for access to the pools, beach and buffet (couples and families only) and an extra JD50 for access to the spa.
