Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort

Nestled along a pristine natural beach embraced by mangroves, just a 45-minute drive from Dubai, this new Anantara resort is a luxurious haven offering 174 elegantly designed rooms, suites, and pool villas. The property combines sophisticated accommodation with diverse experiences, featuring an Anantara spa specialising in traditional Thai healing rituals, an extensive range of watersports, and a culinary journey spanning Asian and Mediterranean cuisines.

The resort’s standout feature is its pioneering Maldives-style overwater villas – the first of their kind in the UAE. These exclusive accommodations offer private pools, expansive outdoor terraces, breathtaking sea views, and personalised service from dedicated villa hosts. Each villa is a sanctuary of tranquility and luxury, providing guests with an unparalleled tropical retreat.

The resort’s wellness centre is equally impressive, with a spa comprising seven treatment rooms, including two intimate couples’ suites. Guests can unwind in the sauna, steam room, and separate whirlpools designed for men and women. Additional facilities cater to diverse interests, with kids’ and teens’ clubs, a large main pool, a comprehensive fitness centre, a padel court, yoga pavilion, and a running track.

What truly distinguishes this resort is its extraordinary array of adventurous activities. Guests can join conservationists on educational kayak tours through the mangroves, exploring a vibrant ecosystem home to turtles, flamingos, and manatees. For the thrill-seekers, the world-famous Jais Flight zipline offers an adrenaline-pumping journey across a 2.8-kilometer canyon, reaching speeds up to 160 kilometers per hour. Those seeking a more serene aerial experience can drift above the desert in a hot-air balloon, while adventure enthusiasts can enjoy an exhilarating ride on a solar-powered toboggan against the backdrop of the region’s most spectacular peaks.

This resort is more than just a destination – it’s an immersive experience that combines luxury, nature, and adventure in one extraordinary setting.
