The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach in the United Arab Emirates offers not only a desert hotel but also a stunning beach hotel!

The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach is situated along the Arabian Gulf, with luxurious pool villas in the style of tents distributed along the sparkling blue waters and pristine white beaches. After checking in at the front desk, the hotel has arranged a small boat at the dock to welcome us to the villa rooms. Although you can also take a golf cart to the room, taking a boat really fills the experience with a sense of ceremony, worthy of The Ritz-Carlton! The hotel has only a little over thirty luxury villas, all located on the waterfront, offering exquisite seclusion and modern facilities. You can enjoy your own private swimming pool and deck, and some room types have direct access to the beach. The one I stayed in is the hotel's top room type. Although it does not have direct beach access, it has a large private beach courtyard, as well as sun umbrellas and loungers placed on the deck by the sea for sunbathing and enjoying the beautiful sea view. The whole setup is very luxurious! As one of the seven emirates of the UAE, Ras Al Khaimah offers not only the Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach and The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert but also mountains and many thrilling entertainment options. I highly recommend visiting the UAE and spending a few days in Ras Al Khaimah to experience a different atmosphere and scenery from Dubai and Abu Dhabi!
