    Inspired by the palaces of the Arabian Peninsula, you’ll feel like royalty at the Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah! In a prime beachside location, 1 hour from Dubai International Airport, there’s an 18-hole championship golf course at your disposal and a world-class spa for banishing any lingering cares. All of this, combined with the legendary True Waldorf Service ensures a memorable stay. When you can tear yourself away from the grandeur of your spacious room or suite, not one but two enormous swimming pools await you – grab a cocktail, a good book and stake your claim on the sundeck. If you prefer to stay active, a few rounds of golf are a must, if only to admire the stunning fairways! Whilst parents are at play, the kids can escape to their very own children’s club, offering a variety of activities. There are also plenty of family excursions to enjoy – desert safari anyone? When it comes to dining, the Waldorf boasts an eclectic selection. Feast on food from around the world, including Europe, Middle East and Japan. There are also more casual options with pizza, pasta and salads served by the poolside or on the beach. After dinner, head to Sijar Lounge, an exclusive lounge that boasts an assortment of premier beverages - ideal for a nightcap!

    We are a family of four, travelled from England to RAK, this is our second time to the area and first time to WA. Our stay was amazing, we absolutely loved everything, mainly down to the incredible service by every member of staff we came into contact with. All incredibly attentive and trained to a high standard. Head of staff should be very proud as everyone does you proud every shift they work. From the lovely guy who took us to the club house at the main entrance the attentive pool staff working in high temperatures but never once faulted. We loved the attention to detail in our rooms, we had interconnecting rooms as travelling with two teens, the pull out sofa is no longer an option. The rooms were incredibly spacious and luxurious, our room gifts were all welcomed and appreciated ☺️ The cleaning staff were incredible attentive and maintained our rooms to a high standard each day. We especially appreciated the nightly turn down service 🥰 thank you too Guru, Bishal, Prasad, Sooraj and Suman. The restaurant team also exceptional, from the waiting staff to the high standard of food services every meal time. The buffet was never a chore, which after 2 weeks has never been known for us. The food is of high standard, flavoured well and of good choice. We would like to give thanks to everyone who made our holiday experience as wonderful as it was, we look forward to visiting again. And would highly recommend the hotel, especially to families. Read less

    Hotel is fabulous, food was spectacular. The attention to detail is beyond me it is amazing. In the Qasr Al Bahar resturant, Mobeen takes time out of his day to constantly check up on us, he remembers our drink orders and genuinely takes the time to build a connection with us. Thank you!
