Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah

Make the most out of your summer holidays and escape to this beachfront resort nestled in the UAE’s northernmost emirate

- Kate Gammelgaard

Enticed by the prospect of a luxurious getaway complete with a 350-meter beach and outdoor pools, we pack our bags and drive just a mere hour away from Dubai, to a gorgeous beachfront resort that stems inspiration from the palaces of the Arabian Peninsula. The resort’s towering grandeur is an astonishing sight as we pull up to the entrance and immediately get a glimpse of the experience that awaits us.

ACCOMMODATION

The resort boasts 346 spacious rooms and suites, and to accommodate my husband, three-year-old son and myself, we’re booked in the King Junior Suite for the night. The room is an elegant presentation of modern arabesque lavishness with neutral hues offering a sense of calm, making us feel at ease.
