Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert

The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Wadi Desert is an all-villa luxury resort nestled amid terracotta dunes in the naturally beautiful emirate of Ras Al Khamiah. This oasis is located within the 500-hectare protected Al Wadi Nature Reserve, where the indigenous wildlife like gazelles, Arabian oryx, and antelopes stop by to welcome guests.
The renovated property offers a true sense of place drawing on Arabian tradition and culture. Just think of Bedouin-inspired mud-brick villas, suites, traditional watchtowers, decorative lanterns, and intricate latticework. 

Top reasons why we love Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Wadi Desert

Service is professional, discreet and genuinely warm
There are many activities for you to choose from ranging from sunset camel treks and horse riding into the desert to falcon shows and starwatching from a private platform-cum-helipad.
The spa houses ten royal and deluxe pavilions. There is also a rainforest experience with a circuit of sixteen different hydrotherapies.
