Exploring the Moon's Magic: The Thrill of Space Tourism Right Here on Earth
Experience the Beauty and Adventure of the Moon Without Leaving the Planet
Moon World Resorts Inc. aims to bring to life the world's most cutting-edge, contemporary, fully integrated, luxurious, technology-driven destination resort. This unique project is co-founded by Sandra G. Matthews and Michael R. Henderson, based in Canada.
MOON, as the resort is called, will be built to meet LEED Gold five-star standards and will be operated at a five-diamond level. The resort will prioritize environmental responsibility and sustainability by following the highest global standards. It is expected to receive over 10 million annual guests, with 2.5 million of them being able to experience MOON's signature attraction.
MOON will stand tall, reaching a minimum height of 224 meters above ground level, with a diameter of at least 198 meters.
The dimensions will be tailored to fit the regional airspace and height restrictions set by the local authorities, potentially allowing for a taller and wider superstructure.
The MOON offers a plethora of components that come together to provide a never-ending journey of discovery. Its signature attraction will allow guests to step on the lunar surface and explore a thriving lunar colony. MOON provides a unique, out-of-this-world experience that serves as a bridge to an affordable and authentic space tourism experience, which millions of enthusiasts around the world have been eagerly awaiting. This is a chance for them to truly participate and make their dreams a reality.

Moon World Resorts Inc. is a Canadian-based firm specializing in architectural design and intellectual property licensing. Founded by Sandra G. Matthews and Michael R. Henderson, the company aims to create the world's most impressive and innovative destination resort called MOON.
MOON encompasses aspects of hospitality, entertainment, attractions, education, technology, and the environment, with a focus on cutting-edge architecture, engineering, design, and technology. Additionally, MOON will serve as an authentic training platform for space agencies and their astronauts.
MWR plans to license four MOON Destination Resorts globally in North America, Europe, MENA, and Asia. For the MENA region, the company is considering locations in the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and the KSA. While the UAE may be the logical choice, particularly Dubai, the city is currently more focused on residential real estate projects rather than unique and exceptional tourism growth initiatives. MWR believes that the key to success is to "dare to be different" and not simply replicate the same waterparks and theme parks found worldwide.


MOON will feature the exclusive boutique "Sky Villas" referred to as "The Private Residence at MOON." These high-end units will be located inside the main superstructure disc buildings. There will be approximately 300 of these units available for purchase. Owners of the Sky Villas will be privileged members of the prestigious Private Members Club at MOON.







Regional license holders have the option to have MOON constructed as either a standalone resort destination or as a centrepiece surrounded by a blend of different uses, similar to the connection between the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai.
“In a world of mediocrity, MOON will set an entirely new standard in build quality, environmental stewardship, and operational excellence. MOON will act as the ultimate bridge, making it possible for everyone to join in the excitement of Space Tourism. As Musk, Bezos and Branson brilliantly seek out the next frontier; MOON will deliver a dynamic and authentic experience on planet earth; available to all, not merely a few. MOON is an integrated, sophisticated, contemporary, unique Destination Resort which focuses on next generation Architecture, Engineering, Design, Art, and Technology”, Sandra G. Matthews & Michael R. Henderson, Co-Founders of Canadian-based Moon World Resorts Inc.
