5* Ras Al Khaimah luxury desert stay
The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert, UAE





Property details
- Ritzy business: In true Ritz-Carlton style, no expense has been spared in creating this desert resort in Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost of the UAE’s emirates. This five-star outpost in the dunes is situated on the edge of a wadi on a 1200-acre gated private nature reserve that’s home to oryx, gazelle and camels. Guests can make the most of their stay with visits to the equestrian centre, adventure centre, a falconry school and the spa.
- Embrace serenity: The spa is a highlight, offering the unique hydrothermal experience of ‘The Rainforest’, with saunas, plunge pools and therapy baths. Personalised treatments can be selected from a tailored menu of rituals, facials, massages and body therapies. There’s also a fitness centre, an outdoor swimming pool and a children’s pool – the latter can also enjoy craft sessions, pony patting and more at the fabulous Ritz-Kids Club.
- Dining in the desert: A delectable face awaits at every one of the resort’s dining establishments. At Zuma, dine on refined Japanese izakaya with sharing style dishes, sushi and robata grills. Everyday dining can be enjoyed at Kaheela, where Middle Eastern flavours can be sampled in buffet and a la carte dishes. There’s also Farmhouse by two Michelin-starred chef Syrco Bakker, views of the equestrian centre from The Paddock Café and light bites at the Oasis Pool Bar.
How to get there
Please note that The Rainforest in the spa is temporarily closed.
