5-Star Hotels in Ras Al Khaimah

For those who think of the UAE as just skyscrapers and shopping malls, Ras Al Khaimah offers a compelling alternative.

This northernmost emirate is defined by the dramatic Hajar Mountains, with Jebel Jais as its stunning centerpiece.

Here, you’ll find the world’s longest zipline, thrilling hiking trails, and a cooler mountain climate that feels worlds away from the coast. Down by the Arabian Gulf, the Al Hamra area provides expansive beaches and the intriguing Al Jazirat Al Hamra, a preserved pearling village that whispers of the emirate’s pre-oil history. Ras Al Khaimah is an excellent choice for active couples and adventurous families seeking more than a standard beach break. Most visitors base themselves in the coastal hotel zones of Al Hamra or Al Marjan Island, which is being developed with new leisure options. The city is easily reached, with its own international airport just a 20-minute drive from major resorts, and it’s about an hour’s drive from Dubai for those wanting to combine trips. On HOTEVI, you can choose from 38 different properties in the emirate. The selection is dominated by large, full-service beach resorts, many offering all-inclusive plans, alongside a growing number of modern city hotels catering to business travelers. Whether you’re after a family-focused resort with a lazy river or a sleek hotel for a conference, you’ll find a place that fits.
