Floating Villas & Mangroves Form an Eco-Resort Dream at Ras Al Khaimah

Luxury hotel and resort behemoth Anatara is re-establishing itself in the hospitality sphere with their newly announced Mina Al Arab Resort, situated along the northernmost shores of the UAE’s Ras Al Khaimah. Not to catapult to conclusions but there is something interminably serotonin-inducing about this resort. Perhaps it's the Maldivian adroitness that saturates the rooms, or maybe it’s the fact that the hotel is constructing overwater villas as we speak, allowing you to sleep and dine all while floating effervescently on the exterior of the ocean.

Mina Al Arab is ideal for all things beachy escapades. Think hot girl summer meets ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ - serving looks but all in the name of luxury of course. You’ve got your beachfront playground to flirt with lifeguards galore, alongside an array of waterfront cafes and boutiques to swipe daddy’s credit card left, right, and centre at. Not convinced? Alright brunette barbie, how about a spa trip post your taxing morning swim and then debate whether Maine Lobster is better than Rock Lobster all night.

Scheduled to launch in 2023, the diverse terrain of Ras Al Khaimah - and this resort by association - is the ideal getaway for nature lovers. From warm oceans to beautiful shorelines to rugged deserts, there's plenty of adventure to be had. On a boat charter, sail away into the sunset. On your way to the summit of Jebel Jais, you'll pass through wide dunes. It’s that little bit of ruggedness that will help bring your luxurious dream vacation back to earth in the best possible way.
