The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Wadi Desert
About the hotel
"Set within the magnificent Al Wadi Nature Reserve, the all-villa Ritz-Calton boasts luxurious accommodations, elevated dining and seemingly endless opportunities to explore and experience the desert."
There’s an air of magic at the resort, an ambience which is undoubtedly amplified by the 1,235 acres of nature enveloping it. It feels like a true desert oasis, and the low-slung Bedouin-style villas complement – rather than take away from – the surrounding landscape. Within, the villas are magnificent. Inspired by traditional tents – some even have gorgeous tented ceilings – these opulent spaces are deliciously roomy and resplendent with exquisite Arabic decor, natural materials and beautiful furniture. All have private pools – a welcome treat in the desert – alongside furnished decks from which to take in the views. You’ll have four categories of villas from which to choose,... Show more
There’s an air of magic at the resort, an ambience which is undoubtedly amplified by the 1,235 acres of nature enveloping it. It feels like a true desert oasis, and the low-slung Bedouin-style villas complement – rather than take away from – the surrounding landscape. Within, the villas are magnificent. Inspired by traditional tents – some even have gorgeous tented ceilings – these opulent spaces are deliciously roomy and resplendent with exquisite Arabic decor, natural materials and beautiful furniture. All have private pools – a welcome treat in the desert – alongside furnished decks from which to take in the views. You’ll have four categories of villas from which to choose, some of which enjoy remote locations or covered pools for those guests seeking a little extra privacy.
Desert dining is elevated to new heights at the resort thanks to an impressive array of options for food and drink. Farmhouse – which is a true farm restaurant – is equal parts rustic and elegant in both appearance and cuisine. The menu here is entirely farm-to-table, highlighting the farm’s own produce alongside succulent wild meats. Whiskey enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the accompanying Whiskey Lounge, which specializes in top-notch cocktails. The evocative restaurant Moorish serves Moroccan fare with a Mediterranean twist, while flavours from the Middle East can be enjoyed all day long in the attractive Kaheela Restaurant. Oasis Pool & Bar offers waterside libations, while incomparable sunsets (and excellent drinks) can be had at the Moon Bar which enjoys an idyllic rooftop location perched high above the treetops.
The resort’s heavenly spa feels like an oasis within an oasis, and the dark, rainforest-inspired interiors create an ambience that’s both tranquil and mysterious. It’s an idyllic place to retire to after a day filled with adventure, and the resort has no shortage of opportunities for such adventures. Bespoke experiences allow guests to truly immerse themselves in nature; whether that means visual activities like birdwatching or stargazing or getting a little more hands-on with planting trees or learning about falconry. Active guests can visit the equestrian centre to ride horses or camels, try their hand at archery or go on truly unforgettable guided evening walks to experience the desert from an exquisite new perspective.
