The fashion-forward hotel brand is bringing its first all-inclusive resort outside Europe to Ras Al Khaimah.
Ras Al Khaimah’s hotel scene is on a roll, and the next big arrival is SO/ Ras Al Khaimah. Set at the entrance to Al Marjan Island, the new resort positions guests between desert horizons and the Arabian Gulf, and marks the brand’s first all-inclusive property beyond Europe as well as its second address in the UAE following the opening of SO/ Uptown Dubai in 2023.
True to the SO/ DNA, design takes centre stage. Expect clean lines, bold geometry, and a calming palette drawn from the coastline, with blues and sandy neutrals echoed indoors. The interiors lean into a contemporary, fashion-led mood with light walnut wood and bronze metal details, creating a sense of ease that feels elegant rather than ostentatious.
The resort will feature 257 rooms and suites, all oriented toward the water to make the most of the island setting. Soft touches of teal and ocean blue thread through the spaces, reinforcing the link to sea and sky while maintaining a crisp, modern aesthetic. Whether you are checking in for a long weekend or a seasonal escape, the views do the heavy lifting.
Dining looks set to be a highlight. Guests will find five restaurants and bars, beginning with Chiano for Italian and Mediterranean plates. Hadaba celebrates Levantine flavours, while Floating World brings a Japanese and Pan-Asian lens to the table. The Market serves as the all-day hub, and Savant, perched on the 10th floor, promises crafted cocktails and skyline panoramas. Poolside, Cabini and the adults-only Bungalow keep the atmosphere laid-back, and a beach club extends the social energy to the shoreline.
Wellness is well covered. A dedicated spa and fitness complex includes treatment rooms, a sauna, and a cold-water pool, with a fully equipped gym and complimentary classes. Golfers can tap into access to seven courses, making it easy to pair resort life with time on the fairways.
SO/ Ras Al Khaimah is slated to open this November. Bookings are not live yet, but if you are planning ahead for the Eid Al Etihad long weekend or mapping out the festive season, this new address should be on your radar.
