Partner Content: From waterfront dining to soul-soothing wellness, this serene resort invites you to slow down and savour the moment.
Tucked between a glittering waterfront and a protected mangrove reserve, Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Resort is the kind of escape that resets your pace the minute you arrive. The setting feels close to nature yet effortlessly refined, pairing privacy with uninterrupted views. As the cooler months roll in, the resort unveils a line-up of dining and wellbeing experiences that make a weekend here feel like a complete reboot.
Dining
Start with Brunchella, a Mediterranean-style brunch built around generous sharing boards and live music. There is a playful twist in the shape of the Brunchella wheel, which adds a little theatre to the afternoon. As the sun softens, Golden Hour brings 50 per cent off selected drinks, the perfect prelude to Tapas & Toasts, where Spanish small plates meet an easygoing selection of grapes. For something more intimate, Winter by the Water sets up a boho picnic for two with a curated spread and a bottle to share, while Designer Dining by Anantara elevates the occasion with a private beachfront dinner served as five courses under the stars.
The culinary tour continues at Asado by the Beach, an open-air South American grill experience that promises a hearty three-course meal. If bold Asian flavours are more your style, head to Mekong for a brunch that celebrates regional classics. Mondays feature unlimited dim sums and cocktails, and the Wagyu Experience brings a three-course ode to premium beef. Sea Breeze keeps things interesting with a rotating global menu, so each day can deliver a different mood, from Middle Eastern to Italian, Mexican to Indian. Keen cooks can take a seat at Spice Spoons by Anantara, a hands-on Thai cooking class led by the resort’s chefs.
Stay
Rooms and suites amplify the easy living. Views sweep across the water and mangroves, and the interiors balance comfort with a coastal freshness. UAE and GCC residents can make the most of the season with the Residents Special, which includes daily breakfast, dining privileges and thoughtful extras. It’s a smart way to experience coastal living without breaking the bank.
Wellness
Wellness is equally considered. The Pause & Pamper special offers a 60-minute massage of your choice, available Monday to Thursday for AED 450 per person, ideal for easing travel-tired shoulders. The spa is also hosting holistic practitioner Ranjith Saj, who brings Kerala-inspired therapies to the treatment menu. His approach blends bodywork, assisted stretching, reflexology and mindful breathwork to help realign posture, release tension and quieten the mind.
With its nature-rich location, confident dining and restorative spa rituals, Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah captures the spirit of the season beautifully. Whether you come for a long lunch that drifts into sunset or a full weekend switch-off, it is a calming coastal retreat that rewards unhurried time.
