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.
