The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert
Set within a 1,235-acre protected reserve in Ras Al Khaimah’s Wadi Khadeja, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert offers a luxurious getaway in one of the UAE’s most stunning locations. Inspired by the region’s traditional architecture, the resort’s 108 sand-hued private villas have been designed to blend into the surrounding landscape and come with private pools and terraces. Inside, Arabesque details such as classic wood furniture, tented roofs, brass lanterns and wooden mashrabiya screens make you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time, while modern comforts such as 75-inch TVs and freestanding bathtubs ensure a comfortable stay in the desert wilderness.
When you’ve had your fill at the world-class spa and outdoor swimming pool, five restaurants offer exciting dining concepts, from a farm-to-table menu focused on local produce at Farmhouse and Andalusian cuisine at Moorish to cocktails and shisha under a starlit night sky at Moon Bar. Additionally, guests are invited to engage with the magnificent desert landscape through a host of activities that can be organized onsite.
