The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert - Tented Pool Villas & Luxury Spa

This magical destination in the Arabian Desert is perfect for those seeking a lavish desert adventure with an otherworldly spa.

Step into a privileged sanctuary at Wadi Khadeja. The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert, is the United Arab Emirates' first desert resort to offer an all-pool villa concept with Asian-inspired hydrotherapy spa facilities.

The dedicated 1,235-acre (500 hectares) Al Wadi Nature Reserve is where you can get close to the Arabian Gazelle. This romantic desert resort is set against the magnificent Al Hajjar Mountains.

Just 20 minutes away from this stunning desert are the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf, where an array of watersports, scuba diving, and fishing trips are available.

Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah also offers an 18-hole golf course, camel riding, and a luxury spa featuring Asian massages.

Destination Dining

The unique dining experiences this hotel provides (or, as they call them, "destination dining") are magical - from private candlelit lakeside dinners to eating during sunset by the dunes decorated with (nearly) as many lanterns as the stars in the sky.

The Al Rimal Pool Villa provides free bikes to roam around the property, and you can participate in guided dune walks (or ride on camels if you are not up for the challenge), learn about falcons, or go on a safari Jeep ride to see the Arabian Gazelle.
