Overview
With billowing Bedouin-style villas opening onto glistening glass-fronted pools and sun-kissed sands, a stay at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach is undeniably unique. Overlooking the golden stretch of Al Hamra Beach and the Arabian Gulf, even the sunsets here are 5-star quality. Accessible by private boat or golf buggy, this island-feel resort is characterised by romantic lantern-lit pathways, sunrise and sunset yoga sessions and undulating desert dunes as far as the eye can see. Rain showers in every room and a romantic terrace bathtub are ideal for washing off the heat of the desert while the spa, inspired by the ocean, promises sea-facing treatments and therapies using local herbs and plants. While perfectly crafted for couples, the resort is still effortlessly family-friendly with organised beach games, arts and crafts and an indoor play area as well as a dedicated kids’ menu at the Shore House restaurant.
