InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa 

Elegance on the Arabian Gulf

A sanctuary of style and sophistication footed by crystalline waves, craggy mountains and clay-coloured sands.

This breathtaking resort is perched pretty on Hayat Island, with eye-popping views whichever way you turn. The terracotta desertscape and lush, rugged mountain backdrop are jaw-dropping, but it’s the sparkling shores of the Arabian Gulf that really steal the show. Location wise, you’re in for a treat, and the hotel itself is anything but anticlimactic. From the impressive offering of bars and restaurants to the wow-worthy vistas of the ocean-facing rooms, this place packs in a treasure trove of delights. Those craving a preen and a pamper can get their wellness fix at the resort spa, where a menu of signature skin treatments, body therapies and traditional rituals await. Or, if you’re in the mood for some action-packed fun, the choice of adrenaline-fuelled activities are bound to float your boat.
