Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah
Find luxury escapism with the finest of views
Right on its own private beach, lapped by the Arabian Sea and facing across to man-made Marjan Island, this impressive resort has 203 unusually spacious rooms and a wealth of things to do on site – starting with a wander through the landscaped grounds.
The hotel has two large swimming pools, though of course, a dip in the sea is just as appealing. The large spa features one-way windows, so you can keep on enjoying the views, with blue silk walls and a VIP couples’ suite.
Eight restaurants and bars give you a great choice of drinking and dining options. For dinner, Lexington serves American specialities (including indulgent seafood dishes), with wine from its temperature-controlled cellar.
You may never want to leave, but if you do you’ll find an 18-hole golf course next door, plenty of nearby shopping (from spices to handbags), and the UAE’s highest mountain Jebel Jais around an hour away.

Local Area
Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE’s northernmost emirate, and something of a hidden gem.
While less well-known than Dubai and others, it has much to offer its visitors. Ras Al Khaimah City is less glitzy than some Emirati cities, but it has a more authentic feel, with a working port and fascinating fish market. Of course, this being the UAE, there are also plenty of luxury malls.
The Waldorf Astoria is a short distance away from the city centre, in a quiet coastal area, home mainly to hotels and upscale residential developments. You won’ t need to travel far, though, to get out into the desert and its distinctive terracotta dunes. The trip out to Jebel Jais in the Hajar Mountains is a must.
