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!

I especially want to thank the receptionist, Botagoz. She was very friendly, always smiling, and helped with check-in quickly and smoothly. She’s always ready to help, explains everything clearly — you can tell she truly enjoys her job. Thanks to her, I felt like a welcomed guest from the very beginning.
The vacation was a full 10 out of 10! I’ll definitely come back again.
