Best Luxury Hotels in Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah is both an Emirate and a city – RAK city (as it’s often known) is the sixth-largest in the UAE. Its history spans over 70 centuries; RAK is one of the few places on earth to have been continuously inhabited during this time, making it of particular interest to archaeologists. The Middle Eastern destination is flanked by the majestic Hajar mountains, mangroves and vast expanses of unspoilt beaches, offering both cultural and adrenaline-pumping adventures. And with temperatures rarely dipping below 23 degrees in the winter, it provides guaranteed year-round warmth.

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.
