The Ritz Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Wadi Desert

The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert, welcomes guests for an immersive escape in the heart of a stunning 500-hectare nature reserve. Bedouin-inspired design and experiences set the tone for a truly authentic journey in this cultural haven, surrounded by indigenous wildlife and rolling sand dunes, in the northern most emirate of the United Arab Emirates. Just one hour away from the bustling metropolis of Dubai, this desert escape has something for the whole family.

Reconnect with nature and explore the Al Wadi Nature Reserve with an array of activities including horse-back riding, archery, falconry or cycling. For those looking to give back to the community, planting an indigenous tree in the Al Wadi Heritage Forest is another way of creating memories that will last a lifetime in addition to supporting local conservation efforts.

Reminiscent of Bedouin architecture and design, the resort’s private pool villas are nestled amongst undulating dunes, offering uncompromising privacy, tranquillity and serenity, accented with elegant interiors and the finest amenities and features. Tented and traditional brick villas each feature a private pool opening onto unparalleled desert views, at the heart of the nature reserve.

The resort offers four restaurants, lounges and bars, to ensure guests’ every desire is met, whatever their tastes. Inspired by a rustic farmhouse, this light-filled Farmhouse restaurant focuses on wild meats, homegrown vegetables and other fresh ingredients. Flavors and dishes from the Middle East and India are offered buffet-style and a la carte at all-day dining restaurant, Kaheela. Enjoy Moroccan inspired atmosphere with Arabic touches, offering a variety of Moroccan favourites with a Mediterranean twist and traditional influences at Moorish, or head to the rooftop Moon Bar, perfect for sunset refreshments or after dark stargazing.
