There’s a new staycation at The Ritz-Carlton in Ras Al Khaimah

Partner Content: With the return of outdoor weather, the Equestrian Desert Adventure package at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Wadi Desert caters to the whole family.

Between festive obligations and mounting work commitments, the end-of-year period is hectic to say the least, and a quick getaway is all you can manage. It’s times like these that remind us why we’re regulars at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Wadi Desert. Located less than an hour away from Dubai, this idyllic desert escape in the Northern Emirates offers a little of everything: luxury, adventure, relaxation, immersion in nature, and more. 

Now, the resort has announced its latest offering and it’s perfect if you’re looking to escape the chaos of city life with the family in tow. Aptly named Equestrian Desert Adventure, this all-inclusive staycation package caters to families of four — it’s tailormade for two adults and two children, and includes a sumptuous buffet breakfast at Kaheela Restaurant, in addition to a three-course set menu dinner at Farmhouse Restaurant. 

Ideal for a staycation or a family holiday, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert, is set within a 1,234 acres nature reserve where each villa is equipped with a private pool – the ideal base to plan some nature-based adventures and alfresco experiences.

Inspired by traditional Bedouin tents, highlights of these luxe accommodations include a generously sized living area with a separate bathroom decked out with a soaking bathtub, rainfall shower, bathrobes, comfortable slippers and luxurious bath amenities.

Throughout the tented accommodation, floor-to-ceiling windows provide unrivalled views of the desert dunes and outdoor swimming pool. At the same time, the practical design and airy feel make for a comfortable stay and evokes a feeling of Arabian adventure, as found in the tales of 1001 Arabian Nights. You’ll quickly sink into the plush bed for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Yet it’s the spacious outdoor deck where we expect you’ll spend most of your stay. Replete with a temperature-controlled private swimming pool and sun loungers, the wooden deck looks out onto the nature reserve, so don’t be surprised if an Arabian oryx joins you poolside.

As part of the special experience, both adults can enjoy a rejuvenating 60-minute full-body relaxation massage at The Ritz-Carlton Spa. As for the adrenaline junkies out there? They can also embark on a thrilling one-hour desert ride accompanied by trained guides. Set within the tranquil surroundings of Al Wadi Nature Reserve, this package offers a combination of pampering, culinary delights, and adventure in a matter of 24 hours. 

The Equestrian Desert Adventure package starts from AED 4,800.
