THE RITZ-CARLTON RAS AL KHAIMAH, AL WADI DESERT

Overview

Gallery

The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah in the Al Wadi Desert is tailor made for escape-it-all luxury. Tucked within 500 hectares of rust-red dunes in a private reserve home to desert gazelles and Arabian oryx, you’ll find a collection of Bedouin-style pool villas for whiling away sunny days. If you can pull yourself away from the comfort of your villa, all sorts of activities await, from camel rides and archery lessons to stargazing and falconry shows. In the evening, dine in a traditional watchtower or directly on the dunes attended to by your own personal chef and butler.

Why We Love It

Home to the lavish Al Wadi Spa with its Rainforest hydrotherapy centre, the Ritz-Carlton knows how to do pampering properly. Hop between different pools, steam rooms and showers of varying temperatures – the ultimate retreat from the heat of the desert.

Room Types

You’ve stayed by the beach, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to sleep by the desert. These villas, inspired by traditional Bedouin tents, offer spectacular views of the rust-red sandy desert from your private deck. You’ll also have your own pool, spacious lounge area and a bathroom with floor-to-ceiling windows to really take in the view. Stay in the Al Sarab Tented Villa and receive exclusive benefits, including (but by no means limited to) a complimentary honor bar and sunset drinks, butler service and a fire pit. This gives luxury a whole new meaning.
