We’re certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to luxury hotels here in the UAE. Whether it’s a luxe cityscape you’re looking for in Dubai or Abu Dhabi or a tranquil escape to the desert at Al Maha Resort & Spa, there’s something for everyone’s five-star needs.
However, what we’re short of in the UAE is a luxury resort reminiscent of the alluring sight of the Maldives.
While during the summer UAE residents will often escape to the paradise haven of the Maldives – or perhaps its neighbouring island counterparts the Seychelles or Mauritius – this year many people’s travel plans have been put on hold due to the pandemic.
Well, we’ve got good news for you, as of next year you’ll be able to get your paradise fix right here in the UAE as a new Maldives-esq resort is opening in 2021.
Part of the Anantara group, the Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort is set to open on the Mina Al Arab development in the emirate around this time next year.
The new luxury sanctuary on the Arabian Gulf will boast 174 rooms for guests and will house it’s very own private beach, along with an eco-reserve.
In true Maldivian resort style, the new resort will also have overwater villas with their own private plunge pools and over water loungers.
Of course, the eco-resort will also house top of the range amenities including a luxury spa, health club, beach and pool bar, seafood grill restaurant, a speciality Asian overwater restaurants and more.
As things go back to normal, you might not even need to book your yearly holiday to the Maldives, instead opting for Ras Al Khaimah next year instead.
