The Ritz-Carlton, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach

The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach is a luxury villa retreat nestled on a secluded beach, with a magnificent mountain backdrop.

An island-inspired resort, the accommodation is in the form of two styles of Bedouin-style tent villas, each with its own private pool and direct beach access (one is set in a more secluded location than the other for maximum privacy and peace).

Guests can unwind in a waterside pavilion in the seafront spa, relax in utter bliss on the private beach or enjoy a refreshing dip in the infinity pool.

There is a gourmet restaurant at the beachfront Shore House, which serves delicious seafood and grilled meats, and guests can also choose bespoke dining experiences on the beach or in their private villa cabanas.

Five-star activities at the resort include exciting watersports in the sea, access to the championship golf course next-door, exploring the surrounding Hajar Mountains, sunset cruises and daily sundowners at Shore House.

As a bonus, guests also have full use of the hotel’s sister hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert. A complimentary shuttle bus takes guests to the resort, which boasts a nature reserve. There are daily bird shows here, archery lessons, nature walks and activities for children, too.

You can even incorporate a luxury holiday to Ras Al Khaimah with a wonderful marriage ceremony in a romantic setting.
