Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah
About this hotel
Modelled on the architectural grandeur of an Arabian palace, the Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah offers a stately retreat set against the backdrop of the Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Gulf. The resort balances opulent, high-ceilinged interiors with a relaxed, expansive outdoor footprint, anchored by 350 metres of private, white-sand beach. The atmosphere is refined and spacious, making it a sophisticated choice for couples seeking a quiet coastal escape, as well as families who require the versatility of a large-scale resort. The layout encourages a leisurely pace, whether you are spending the day between the four temperature-controlled pools or retreating to the spa for a signature treatment. A central highlight is the daily afternoon tea served in Peacock Alley, a grand lobby lounge that has become synonymous with the brand’s heritage. The resort’s proximity to the 18-hole championship Al Hamra Golf Club provides a seamless blend of relaxation and recreation, allowing guests to transition from the shore to the fairway with ease. Dining is equally considered, offering a range of settings from the formal, steakhouse-focused Lexington Grill to the casual, breezy atmosphere of the Azure poolside terrace. Whether lounging on the pristine coastline or exploring the surrounding landscape of Ras Al Khaimah, the property offers a classic, unhurried luxury experience tailored to those who appreciate attentive service and architectural scale.
Why we love it
350 Metres of Private Beach
With 350 metres of pristine, private coastline at your doorstep, you are never far from the water. The beach is exclusively for guests, ensuring a quiet environment for sunbathing and swimming away from the public areas of Al Hamra, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful morning or sunset walk.
A Choice of Four Pools
The resort caters to every preference with four distinct pools. Whether you are looking for a dedicated family splash area, an adult-only serene space, or a spot to swim laps, the variety ensures guests have ample space and choice, regardless of how busy the resort may be during peak seasons.
Adjacent Championship Golf
The immediate proximity to the 18-hole championship Al Hamra Golf Club is a significant draw for enthusiasts. Guests can easily integrate a round of golf into their stay without the need for extensive travel, making the resort an excellent base for a sporting holiday in the Northern Emirates.
Diverse Culinary Venues
Dining is thoughtfully spread across the property, covering everything from the upscale Lexington Grill to the relaxed Sunset Beach Lounge. This variety allows guests to tailor their culinary experience daily, transitioning from formal evening dining to casual, sea-breeze lunches without ever needing to leave the resort grounds.
Signature Peacock Alley Tea
The Waldorf Astoria signature afternoon tea service in Peacock Alley is an institution in itself. Set in the heart of the striking, palace-inspired lobby, it provides a quiet, elegant ritual that serves as the perfect mid-day break, complete with high-quality teas and a selection of delicate, house-made pastries.
Spacious, Palace-Style Accommodation
The hotel’s design ethos—mirroring the aesthetic of a vast Arabian palace—creates a sense of calm and scale that extends into the guest rooms. Regardless of whether you book a King Deluxe, a Junior Suite, or the expansive Presidential Suite, each room is designed to be a quiet, luxurious sanctuary.
