You may be dreaming of far-flung escapes and sandy beaches during this holiday season but, the sad truth is, international travel could be a hassle these days. But this is no cause for despair. Instead think of it as an opportunity to explore the fine 5* hotels and resorts Ras Al Khaimah has to offer – and which so often get overlooked in favour of bigger emirates like Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

Is Ras Al Khaimah a good holiday destination?

Ras Al Khaimah is only a 45-minute drive from Dubai Airport but feels a million miles away from the urban hustle. You’ll likely need less than half a tank of gas for a round trip to Ras Al Khaimah – much less expensive and much less hassle than a flight out of the country!  

Ras Al Khaimah offers amazing options from long private white beach resorts, grand desert getaways, family-friendly alcohol-free staycations to luxury spa retreats. Some of the world’s finest hospitality offerings are right on your doorstep waiting to be discovered – all without the hassle of setting foot in an airport. Here are some of our favourites.
