The northern emirate of Ras Al Khaimah is becoming the spot for relaxing and adventure staycations in the UAE – but it’s also cementing itself as the new UAE vacation destination for those coming abroad, promising beaches, mountains, scenery and a serene and welcoming setting. One hotel that offers all this and more is Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort, the brightest star in Ras Al Khaimah’s exciting future and one of the UAE’s most idyllic escapes.

With the more peaceful late-summer months in full swing, the hotel is offering one of the most enticing offers of the season, inviting guests to enjoy an incredible 35% off when staying for two nights or more – perfect for anything from a spontaneous weekday escape to a blissful week vacation. Moreover, guests will receive a complimentary daily breakfast – a bountiful buffet feast – and a complimentary lunch or dinner. Children aged 10 and under stay and dine for free, while additional dining and the famed Anantara Spa come with 10% off.

Paradise villas and dreamy suites

The 35% off offer extends across the resort, from its soothing suites – dotting the main buildings and spread across the grounds – to its striking overwater villas. Suites are wonderfully spacious, with Deluxe and Deluxe Garden terrace on offer, with ample outdoor space, day beds, loungers, and spacious separate living areas – plus bedrooms that open onto views of the ocean and garden.

Anantara Mina Al Arab’s stand-out offering, however, are its overwater villas, transporting guests straight to the Maldives. Stylish and spacious, they hover over the lagoon – overlooking mangroves or the ocean with their private pool terraces. Inside: oceanic hues, an open-plan living and dining area, plus a kitchenette make it perfect for romantic stays. Spend your day luxuriating on your private day bed, cooling off in your private pool and soaking in your tub as the sun sets over the water.

Destination dining

As part of the offer, all guests receive one complimentary lunch or dinner at Sea Breeze – the resort’s laidback and stylish all-day restaurant serving salads, seafood and grills, with views over the mangroves. Guests can enjoy signature dishes from the wok, wood-fired grill and tandoor oven. Making dining affordable for the entire family, children under 10 stay and dine for free – enjoying sumptuous cuisine at the Beach House, Waves Cafe, Jalabar poolside oasis and more. A further 10% is available on all additional dining, including Anantara’s elegant Mekong – a chic journey through the Orient perched right above the ocean. All guests will also receive 10% off treatments in the Anantara Spa – a concept loved across the globe, transporting guests to Thailand with an array of Eastern and locally-inspired treatments.
