Waldorf Astoria Ras al Khaimah

A LUXURY FAMILY RESORT IN RAS AL KHAIMAH

Experience world-class service at Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah

Taking the form of an Arabian palace, the landmark Waldorf Astoria in RAK rises dramatically from the shoreline. The opulent multi-domed hotel brings classic Waldorf facilities and service to the Middle east. On entry, guests are greeted by a 1920s era lobby with a grand piano, vintage furnishings and an elaborate marble-effect fountain. The hotel sits beside an 18-hole golf course and has a lagoon-style pool bordering a section of private beach, tennis courts, an upscale spa, nine restaurants (one of which is reserved for adults), a kids’ club, a playground, regular live DJ sets and 346 rooms.

This regal resort inspired by opulent Arabian palaces houses 10 restaurants and lounges, an award-winning underwater-themed spa, cavernous rooms and suites, two temperature-controlled pools (one adults-only) and a large private beach.

A 50-minute drive from Dubai International airport in the tranquil emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. The property is set on the white sands of the Arabian Gulf coast. It’s part of the Al Hamra Village community, giving guests access to an 18-hole golf course, marina and shopping mall.

Rising from the shore like the most majestic of sandcastles, the extravagant façade immediately sets the tone with its gold domes, fortress-like roofs and Arabesque arches. Inside, the attention to detail continues with local elements such as mother of pearl referencing the UAE’s pearl-diving history, Arabic calligraphy artworks and a grand clock, a Waldorf Astoria signature made from champagne gold, displaying the five daily prayer times.

Service is friendly, professional and attentive. Each guest is assigned a personal concierge who offers assistance pre check-in, on arrival and throughout the stay. A good night’s sleep is pretty much guaranteed with a Sleep Master offering 11 different kinds of pillows, a Fragrance Master (AED 75/£15) who’ll spritz your room, bedding, robe and towel with your choice of scent and a Bath Master (AED 250/£52) who will draw the tub with organic essential oils by Neom and rose petals ahead of your arrival.

Facilities include a 24-hour fitness centre, floodlit tennis courts and water sports from wakeboarding to diving. The elegant Waldorf Astoria spa features herbal baths, floatation beds and blissful treatments such as the warm Oceanic Stones massage
