The hotel

Every so often you find somewhere utterly special – like the unique beach house style villas at this luxury retreat, each with its own private pool and deck, fresh and light interior, ornate detailing, and direct access to a beautiful beach. Just 50 minutes from all the urban excitement of Dubai, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach couldn’t be further away in spirit – with its sense of total seclusion, the holistic treatments at its Ritz-Carlton Spa, the complimentary access to Al Wadi Nature Reserve, and the coast-inspired dining of The Shore House restaurant, a perfect spot for quiet beachfront sundowners each evening.

Staying at The Ritz-Carlton Alhambra has been an absolute delight! The property is stunning — peaceful, luxurious, and beautifully maintained. A special shoutout to Mr. Arul from Housekeeping — such a kind and dedicated supervisor. He made sure everything was perfect, and his warm hospitality truly stood out.

So I really enjoyed my short week stay at this hotel in RAK . It’s roughly an hour drive from Dxb . Very serene, very peaceful. You re greeted at the small check in reception in a small house . Perfect for hassle free check in , the process is very convenient and fast . Then you re driven to one of 34 villas along a sandy coast with fine mangrove like vegetation surrounding your villas . The villas are wonderful, perfect size for 2-3 occupants. Small but lovely private pool , bathtub , outdoor shower , sunbeds and private access to the sea . Which is a few minutes walk from your villa . Great mini bar , wonderful menu breakfast and restaurant. Very very peaceful resort . Small but comfortable gym . Everything was wonderful . Some minor improvements could be made but I ll take it privately with admins . Lovely stay !) will come back Read less
