Forget Munich—this September, Ras Al Khaimah is brewing its own Bavarian bash, and trust us, it comes with better views. The ultra-all-inclusive Rixos Bab Al Bahr on Al Marjan Island is rolling out the barrels for a one-of-a-kind Oktoberfest staycation. Think bratwurst by the beach, schnitzels with a side of sunshine, and enough pretzels to justify skipping your workout (sorry, Avitane Spa).
From September 26 to 27, 2025, guests can check in for a weekend that’s equal parts festive and fabulous. Expect free-flowing German draught hops, a lineup of hearty dishes like strudel and schnitzel, and entertainment that’ll make you want to clap along—even if you don’t know the words.
The Perks Beyond the Pints
Now, let’s be real: Oktoberfest is the star of the show, but Rixos Bab Al Bahr never does anything halfway. While you’re sipping hops by the pool, the kids will be living their best lives at the Rixy Kids Club, and teens will disappear into their own hangout zone complete with PlayStation, billiards, and foosball (translation: no whining, just winning).
And if you spot giant furry characters roaming the lobby? Nope, that’s not the German hops talking—it’s the Labubu mascots, back again to make kids (and secretly adults) squeal with joy. Expect dancing, selfies, and the kind of energy only life-sized mascots can bring.
Parent Paradise
While the little ones are entertained, adults can take their pick:
- Free-flowing hops or cocktails by the pool
- Wellness and fitness classes (so you can feel less guilty about that third pretzel)
- A pampering escape at the Avitane Spa
- Or just sprawling on the resort’s freshly extended private beach
Hot Deal Alert
Here’s the kicker: Oktoberfest isn’t the only reason to book. Rixos Bab Al Bahr is serving up a 30% discount on stays booked directly through their website using the promo code BABSALE. The deal is valid for stays until December 25, 2025, but you’ve got to lock it in before September 30, 2025.
So yes, you could be sipping mulled wine under your Christmas tree in December while bragging about that Oktoberfest getaway you scored at a steal.
