Let’s be honest. Valentine’s Day can go one of two ways. It’s either wildly romantic… or a last-minute panic involving supermarket flowers and a dinner reservation at 9:47pm.
This year, SO/ Ras Al Khaimah on Al Marjan Island is gently raising an eyebrow at basic plans and saying, “We can do better.” And honestly? They really can.
As the island’s first design-led, ultra-all-inclusive lifestyle resort (yes, that’s a mouthful—but a fabulous one), SO/ Ras Al Khaimah is rolling out a Valentine’s weekend that starts at sunrise and refuses to quit until well past bedtime. Think less “single dinner date” and more “romantic festival, but make it chic.”

Start With a Sweat (Trust the Process)
At 11:00am on 14th February, couples kick things off with a Couple Beach Workout. Picture this: you, your favourite person, the Arabian Gulf sparkling in the background, and a workout that says, “We’re strong together—emotionally and physically.”
Romantic? Yes. Slightly competitive? Also yes. But nothing says bonding like planks in paradise.
Love, But Make It Family-Friendly
If your version of romance includes tiny humans with big energy, the Happy Hearts Family Picnic at 3:30pm has you covered. Hosted by Kids Society, this is where love expands beyond couples and becomes a full-on feel-good family moment.
Because Valentine’s isn’t just about candlelight. Sometimes it’s about juice boxes and giggles too.
Get Hands-On (Literally)
At 4:00pm, things turn beautifully sentimental with the SO/ World of Art Valentine’s Workshop at the Amphitheatre. Couples take part in a hand-in-hand casting experience that creates a keepsake you’ll actually want to display.
It’s tactile, meaningful, and slightly messy in the cutest way. You’ll walk away with a sculpture of your joined hands—and a story that goes way beyond “we took selfies.”
Slow It Down as the Sun Sets
By 6:00pm, it’s time to exhale. The Candlelight Sound Bath at Cabini Pool is where the pace softens, the lights dim, and the world goes blissfully quiet. Imagine floating in soothing sound waves while the evening sky shifts colours above you.
It’s romantic without trying too hard. Which, frankly, is the best kind.
Then Turn It Back Up Again
At 9:30pm, Love Tunes takes the stage with a live band performance that invites you to sway, sing, or just sit back with a cocktail and that “we chose the right place” smile.
And because this is SO/ Ras Al Khaimah, the night doesn’t end there. At 10:45pm, Valentine’s Ballantine’s Night keeps the energy alive. Expect good vibes, great music, and just enough sparkle to make the night feel a little cinematic.
Spa Goals? Absolutely
Of course, no Valentine’s escape is complete without some serious unwinding. Enter Anjana Spa, the resort’s serene sanctuary designed to melt stress like chocolate in the sun.
From 14th to 16th February, couples can indulge in:
- A 50-minute couples massage for AED 800 per couple
- A 75-minute couples massage for AED 1,000 per couple
- 20% off individual treatments of 50 minutes or longer
Open daily from 9:00am to 9:00pm, it’s basically your excuse to say, “We deserve this.” And you absolutely do.

The Best Part? It’s All Seamless
Here’s the real magic: everything flows. From beach workouts to art sessions, from sound baths to live bands, from spa bliss to late-night celebrations—this isn’t random programming. It’s a carefully curated love story that unfolds by the sea.
And because SO/ Ras Al Khaimah is ultra-all-inclusive, these experiences are exclusively for in-house guests. So once you check in, you can simply relax and let the weekend carry you from one beautiful moment to the next.
No scrambling. No stress. No supermarket flowers required.
This Valentine’s, skip the predictable. Head to SO/ Ras Al Khaimah, Al Marjan Island, and celebrate love the way it deserves to be celebrated—playful, polished, and just a little bit extra.
