The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach and Its Pool Villas

The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach sits on the northern emirate's coast, a villa resort of Moorish and Mediterranean design with private-pool villas set along the Arabian Gulf. It is the beach counterpart to the brand's desert Reserve at Al Wadi nearby.

The dining is relaxed and coastal. Shore House is an indoor-outdoor, maritime-themed grill working with fish and seafood, and Beach Deck brings a beachfront seafood table with Gulf views during the cooler season.

For travelers seeking a quieter, villa-led alternative to Dubai's beach hotels, Ras Al Khaimah offers space and calm within a short drive of the city.
