History
Fettah Tamince developed Rixos around the idea that an all-inclusive holiday could combine substantial design, attentive service, and entertainment. Accor’s 2017 partnership gave the brand a wider international platform. The collection later became part of Ennismore’s hospitality family while retaining its resort-focused identity.
