Ras Al Khaimah is quickly becoming one of the UAE’s hottest spots for upscale leisure and resort living. With a growing number of luxury hotels already making their mark, it’s clear that this northern emirate is attracting attention from travelers and developers alike. The latest big name to join the scene is Ascott, which is set to open the Al Mahra Resort by The Crest Collection on Al Marjan Island.
This new resort promises to be a top-tier destination for anyone seeking an elevated coastal escape. Here’s what you can look forward to when it opens:
- 539 uniquely designed rooms and luxury suites
- One-, two-, and three-bedroom fully furnished hotel apartments for longer stays or families
Guests choosing Al Mahra Resort by The Crest Collection can expect the following amenities to enjoy their stay in Ras Al Khaimah:
- Dining options with all-day dining, restaurants, and bars
- Wellness & leisure: a spa, golf course, swimming pool, gym, and kids’ area
- Event spaces for weddings, corporate events, or family gatherings
- Club Lounge
Set to open by 2027, the resort is expected to be a key player in the emirate’s future growth, with more properties already in the works.
The news also signals an exciting phase for Ascott, which has recently added 11 new properties to its global portfolio, and its expansion to Saudi Arabia in 2028.
In addition to Al Mahra Resort, Ras Al Khaimah is set to welcome several more high-end hotels soon. If you’re into ultra-luxury experiences, Enclave is a private hotel on the horizon, offering exclusivity at its finest. Also, the upcoming Fairmont and NH Collection hotels are set to open at Wynn Al Marjan Island, further boosting the emirate’s profile as a luxury travel destination.
