The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert is a protected nature reserve spanning 1,235 acres, where a diverse range of wildlife roams freely around the desert oasis. Located a mere 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert is home to more than 50 species of bird, including falcons, as well as Arabian oryx, beautiful sand gazelles and black bucks. This is where guests can experience the breathtaking scenery of the secluded reserve while enjoying authentic encounters with nature. The beauty of the Arabian Desert is
showcased in all its glory at the oasis, a closely held Bedouin secret for over 1,000 years. The resort is focused on offering exceptional experiences alongside unparalleled service for guests, while being committed to providing traditional Arabian hospitality. This tranquil, all-villa property takes a
high-tech/low-touch approach, with each of the 100 villas offering private entrances, pools and uninhibited views. A host of in-villa and in-
resort dining options, a wide variety of exciting activities and interactions with nature such as camel-riding and close encounters with birdlife, all contribute to a memorable stay. The Rainforest is a tranquil spa combining
European hydrothermal culture with Middle Eastern bathing rituals, creating a rejuvenating sanctuary in the Arabian Desert. The experience includes 16 different stations, each one a conscious step on the journey to relaxation. Guests are encouraged to follow the mapped sequence and to allow time for the body to cool, whether naturally, with a shower or within the Ice Igloo, after completing a warm station. Guests can connect with nature through the
falcon and owl show, watching majestic birds of prey such as desert eagle owls and Harris’s hawks in a breathtaking interactive display. The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi
Desert is a secluded haven for creating memories with loved ones. The resort’s equestrian centre offers camel-riding and horse-riding lessons for guests of all ages and skill levels.
