If you’ve ever looked at a luxury resort and thought, “This place is nice, but what if it got even nicer?” then Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah appears to be having exactly the same thought.
The popular beachfront resort has officially announced a major renovation of its main hotel building, kicking off a transformation that promises refreshed interiors, upgraded accommodation, and an even better guest experience when it reopens in late 2026.
But before anyone starts panicking about canceled beach days and postponed staycations, here’s the good news: the resort isn’t disappearing behind construction fences. In fact, guests can still enjoy Rixos hospitality throughout the renovation period thanks to its collection of private beachfront villas.
So yes, the glow-up has begun, but the vacation vibes are very much alive.
A New Chapter for One of Ras Al Khaimah’s Favourite Resorts
The renovation marks one of the biggest upgrades in the property’s recent history.
While the main hotel building temporarily takes a well-deserved spa day that lasts a little longer than usual, extensive enhancements will be carried out across guest rooms and suites to create a more modern and elevated accommodation experience.
The project is scheduled for completion during the fourth quarter of 2026 and aims to align the resort with the expectations of today’s travellers, who apparently want beautiful rooms, stylish interiors, incredible views, and Wi-Fi that works everywhere.
Honestly, fair enough.
According to Sherif Kasseb, General Manager of Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah, the investment reflects the resort’s ongoing commitment to continuously evolving and enhancing the guest experience.
In short: they’re not fixing what’s broken. They’re making something great even better.

The Transformation Is Underway, But The Getaways Continue

The beaches remain beautiful. The villas remain welcoming. The hospitality remains unmistakably Rixos.
And when the newly transformed main hotel building finally unveils its fresh new look in late 2026, it seems the resort will be ready to enter an exciting new era.
