Ras Al Khaimah, UAE

Your journey begins with a smooth, private transfer from the airport to the stunning Hayat Island. Upon arrival at the InterContinental, you are greeted with warm Arabian hospitality and a refreshing drink. After a seamless check-in, you will be escorted to your elegant Sea View Room. Take a moment to settle in and step onto your private balcony to absorb the magnificent ocean panorama. The remainder of the day is at your leisure; perhaps a gentle stroll along the private beach as the sun sets, followed by your first delicious all-inclusive dinner.

Today is dedicated to embracing pure relaxation. After a leisurely breakfast, find your perfect spot on the pristine private beach or by one of the sparkling swimming pools. The resort offers both a lively family pool and a tranquil adults-only pool, ensuring an ideal atmosphere for everyone. Enjoy attentive poolside service, ordering refreshing cocktails and light snacks directly to your sun lounger. In the afternoon, you might try some non-motorised watersports or simply lose yourself in a good book, letting the gentle sounds of the Gulf wash over you.

Indulge your senses with a day focused on wellness at the resort’s exceptional spa. Begin with a visit to the state-of-the-art fitness centre or a morning yoga session. Later, immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the spa itself. We recommend experiencing the traditional Turkish Hammam, a cleansing ritual that leaves you feeling utterly revitalised. Follow this with a bespoke massage or facial treatment from the extensive menu. Conclude your day of serenity with some quiet time by the exclusive adults-only pool, a perfect sanctuary for reflection.

Embark on a culinary adventure and explore the diverse dining options available with your all-inclusive package. Start your day with an extensive buffet breakfast. For lunch, enjoy fresh Mediterranean flavours at Levant & Nar with its beautiful terrace views. As evening approaches, treat yourself to pre-dinner cocktails at the stylish NoHo Bar & Grill, inspired by the vibrant districts of New York. For dinner, consider the exquisite Japanese fusion cuisine at the rooftop Sora restaurant, offering spectacular views alongside incredible food.

Discover the rich culture and history of the region with a short trip beyond the resort. We suggest a visit to Al Jazirah Al Hamra, a fascinating abandoned pearling village made from traditional coral-stone. It offers a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the UAE’s pre-oil era. Alternatively, explore the National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah to learn more about the emirate’s archaeological history. This cultural immersion provides a wonderful contrast to the modern luxury of your resort, enriching your overall holiday experience.

Today is for adventure and breathtaking scenery. Take an excursion to Jebel Jais, the highest mountain in the UAE, located within the spectacular Hajar mountain range. The drive up the winding road is an experience in itself, with numerous viewpoints along the way. At the summit, you can visit the Jais Viewing Deck Park for panoramic vistas across the rugged landscape. For adrenaline seekers, the Jais Adventure Park offers the world’s longest zipline and other thrilling activities. It’s a day of unforgettable views and excitement.

Enjoy a final, leisurely breakfast at the resort, savouring the beautiful sea views one last time. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have some time for last-minute souvenir shopping at the resort’s boutique or for one last dip in the pool. Your private transfer will collect you in ample time for your journey to the airport, filled with wonderful memories of your luxurious Ras Al Khaimah holiday. You will depart feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning your return to this Arabian gem.
