Majara Residence (Persian: ماجرا meaning adventure) is a seaside accommodation complex in the island of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, South of Iran. The building consists of 200 colorful domes of varying sizes and shapes built with the participation of the local population of the island, using the Superadobe sandbag technique.[1][2] The domes, some of them interconnected, contain both accommodation (17 suites hosting up to 85 guests) and public facilities such as restaurants and cafes. Majara, as the first major eco-touristic hotel on the island, was completed in 2020.[3] It is designed by the Tehran-based architectural firm ZAV Architects and since its completion, it has been recognized internationally with several awards.[4][5][6][7]
