The hotel

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. For more active moments, there are water sports in abundance down at the beach. If you prefer dry land, 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 17Squared on the 17th floor, a sophisticated bar and lounge that boasts stunning 360 degree views of Ras Al Khaimah.

Thank you for my perfect breakfast at WA. Great service and nice atmosphere. Very much pleased with the food every time I come. Vinay (the waiter) is always very helpful and brings the best start for my day! Coming here alone or with my family.

Sunset Beach Club was an absolute delight! I spent the entire day soaking up the sun, enjoying the fantastic music, and indulging in the unbeatable food. The pool was just what I needed for a relaxing escape. Can't wait to go back and experience it all over again!

As a family with 2 children aged 3 and 8, we had a great time. Without exception, all the staff we interacted with, whether at the front desk, concierge, restaurants, around the pool , houskeeping, valet parking attendants, all were extremely courteous, helpful and hospitable. The room was very comfortable, and well appointed. The food at all 3 restaurants that we tried (AZUE, UMI, and Lexington) was very good, we thoroughly enjoyed all 3 venues, dinner at the Japanese (UMI), and at the Lexington Grille will be unforgettable, and the live entertainment (singer) at the Lexington Grille was very very good. Overall cleanliness of the property and room was excellent, I would definitely plan future weekend escapes. Read less
