Ras Al Khaimah, UAE

Upon arrival at Dubai International Airport (DXB), you will be greeted by our representative for your private, air-conditioned transfer. The scenic journey to Ras Al Khaimah allows you to witness the changing landscapes of the UAE. Once you arrive at the magnificent Rixos Bab Al Bahr on Al Marjan Island, you will complete a smooth check-in process. Afterwards, take some time to settle into your luxurious room and perhaps step out onto your balcony to take in the view. The remainder of the day is yours to explore the resort’s impressive grounds at your leisure.

Wake up to the gentle sounds of the Arabian Gulf. Today is dedicated to pure relaxation and familiarising yourself with the resort’s incredible amenities. For instance, you could find a perfect spot on the private beach or by one of the eight swimming pools. Your ultra-all-inclusive journey begins with a leisurely breakfast, followed by endless opportunities. In the evening, explore the diverse culinary scene with dinner at one of the specialty à la carte restaurants, perhaps trying the exquisite seafood or authentic Italian cuisine, followed by live entertainment.

Today, focus on rejuvenation and aquatic fun. Begin your morning with a visit to the Anjana Spa for a truly blissful experience; perhaps indulge in a traditional Turkish hammam treatment. This will leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised. In the afternoon, the call of the sea awaits. The resort’s water sports centre offers a variety of activities, from paddleboarding to jet skiing. Consequently, you can enjoy an active afternoon on the calm, turquoise waters before choosing another fantastic restaurant for your evening meal.

While the resort offers endless entertainment, today presents an opportunity for an unforgettable adventure beyond its walls. Consider an optional pre-booked excursion to Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest peak. Here, you can experience the thrill of the world’s longest zipline or simply admire the breathtaking mountain vistas from the viewing deck. Alternatively, a desert safari offers a chance to experience Bedouin culture and witness a spectacular sunset over the dunes. This adds a memorable, adventurous element to your luxury holiday.

Enjoy a day of unstructured leisure, embracing the resort’s ‘live-in-the-moment’ philosophy. You might start with a morning yoga session on the beach, followed by a friendly game of tennis or beach volleyball. Perhaps explore the various boutiques within the resort for some souvenir shopping. In the afternoon, you could relax in a private cabana with a good book and a refreshing cocktail. Essentially, this day is about doing as much or as little as you please, fully embracing the luxurious and carefree environment of your Rixos retreat.

Make the most of your final full day in paradise. Revisit your favourite pool or find a new, quiet spot on the beach to soak up the sun. Indulge in one last gourmet lunch and treat yourself to a delicious pastry from the patisserie. As evening approaches, find your way to the Mojito Bar to watch the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. For your final dinner, perhaps return to your favourite restaurant or try the one you missed, celebrating the incredible memories you have made during your stay.

After a final, leisurely breakfast, you will have some time for last-minute souvenir shopping or a final walk along the beach. At the pre-arranged time, your private transfer will be ready to take you back to Dubai International Airport (DXB) for your return flight to the UK. You will depart with cherished memories of an exceptional, all-inclusive luxury holiday in Ras Al Khaimah.
