Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa

Virgin Holidays View

Exclusive to Virgin Holiday’s in the UK, the Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa prides itself on delivering the utmost in service, accommodation and amenities. Arabesque in style, it’s sumptuously magical in design with rich, earthy colours, romantically dimmed lanterns and exotic furnishings. Its location, overlooking a stunning stretch of sandy beach, is also unrivalled, with calm, clear waters, ideal for splashing about in. Grab a towel and relax by the zero-entry pool. The kids have a pool to call their own and their own club to hang out in. The restaurants are also superb and, as part of the all-inclusive package, you can choose delicious dishes from set menus at several of them, including the wonderful Passage to Asia and Piaceri da Gustare. All-inclusive drinks include well-known brands, so if you’re a label snob, you won’t be disappointed! All rooms types are wonderful at the Ras, spotlessly clean, ultra modern and luxurious, however, upgrade to a Club Room and you’ll be knocked for six. Rock star benefits include express check-in, reserved sun bed at the beach or pool (very handy!), access to specific VIP areas throughout the resort and your mini bar re-stocked daily. You can also tell the folks back home what a wonderful time you’re having with 1 hour complimentary in-room internet access per day. As if that’s not enough, enjoy a sparkling wine breakfast delivered to your room on a weekly basis – an indulgent touch we think you’ll make the most of!
