Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa  

On the shore of the Dead Sea in Sweimeh (Ma'In), Jordan — a waterside spa resort minutes from Amman Beach and the Mujib Nature Reserve. Close enough for day trips to Mount Nebo and the Baptism Site, this property sits at the lowest point on Earth with sweeping valley and sea views.

Rooms (about 250) come with flat-screen TVs, marble bathrooms, minibars and private patios or balconies with Dead Sea views. Expect family- and adults-only pool options, bathrobes and slippers in some room types, plus kid-friendly zones like an arcade and a dedicated water-play area. The vibe mixes modern resort polish with easygoing poolside energy — wake up to Dead Sea views and unwind in spacious rooms.

A full-service spa features Dead Sea salt pools, massages, facials, saunas and steam rooms. Multiple outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a children’s pool and the on-site Splash Island water-play zone (seven interactive attractions) keep families busy, while a private beach, poolside bars and a beach bar handle cocktails and chill time. Fitness center, concierge, arcade/game room, shuttle and parking are on hand; transfers and some activities may carry a surcharge.

Event-ready with a business center, conference hall, meeting rooms and flexible event facilities. Complimentary wired and wireless internet in public areas and guest rooms helps keep work on track.

Several on-site restaurants, bars and a coffee shop serve everything from grab-and-go snacks to sit-down meals, with 24-hour room service available. Continental breakfasts are offered daily for a fee, and poolside/beach bars make sundowners easy after a day at the spa or pools.
