Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert

The exploding popularity of the United Arab Emirates' favorite holiday destination – Ras Al Khaimah, brought many names into the limelight. One such name is the Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert. Formerly run by Banyan Tree, Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert has undergone a transformation and taken a rebirth. So whether you are up for a solo self-reflection time or want to opt for a romantic getaway, make an excuse if you really have to and get there.

Location

Just north of Dubai, the Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert is a 60-minute drive from Dubai International Airport and not far from the sister property Ritz Carlton Al Hamra Beach. The resort sits in the unspoiled desert from the bustle of a city like Dubai.

Sprawling over 500 hectares of Al Wadi Nature Reserve, you receive a warm welcome from the reserve's wildlife. The resort has received much attention and popularity as UAE's first-ever dessert resort incorporating an all-pool design.

Style, Architecture, and Character

Nestled in the heart of Wadi Khadeja, the style, design, and character of the Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert is a faithful iteration of desert life and culture. With a black and cream color palette everywhere, sophisticated aesthetics is prevalent throughout the resort. Moreover, details like fortress-inspired stone buildings, marbled floors, and earthy paint exude luxury. Also, all these details exemplify the desert experience and culture. Overall, the design and décor of the resort vividly reflect the Arabic theme.

Villas

Drawing inspiration from traditional Bedouin, you'll find soul-warming moments around every corner at the 101 stand-alone villas of Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert. Guests can pick a villa from their two categories: Al Rimah and Al Sahari villas. These villas have large terraces, private infinity pools, and decks with desert views, making these accommodations swoon-worthy. In some villas, the pools are a step down to the sand dune.

The furnishings and décor detailing are also grandeur. The plush and cozy king-size bed will snuggle you to render ultimate comfort. Also, the ultra-spacious lounge area with a sofa bed will make you feel like you are a home away from home. There is also the tented pool villa with its pool overlooking the desert.

Not to mention, there is a dressing room featuring double wardrobes. Loaded with Asprey amenities, the bathroom also boasts a glass-enclosed rain shower.

Moreover, come evening, when it's time to squeeze in the dinner, the Moroccan and Arabic-inspired menu at Moorich will serve you right.

We bet that at open-sky Moon Bar, you will return for second helpings of thirst-quenching cocktails. Or, you can enjoy evening hours here with shisha under the treetop shadow and soft breezes.
