Maldivian-Style Villa Stays at the Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah
A brand-new weekend waterfront stay in Ras Al Khaimah challenges you to ask: do I need to go to the Maldives?

Ras Al Khaimah wants to play with the best of them, and now the Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort, with the first overwater villas in the emirate, looks to offer a Maldives-like stay without the need to jump on a plane. This waterfront property woven into Ras Al Khaimah’s mangroves overlooks the Arabian Gulf and lures you with private beaches, delicious dining, spas, bars, and restaurants.
There are plenty of reasons you should still go to the Maldives, but Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort provokes you to ask: is it worth the hassle? Maldives trips are a pricey business, plus the travel havoc: international flights, seaplanes, speedboats, visas and costly cans of Coke.
Admirably, the Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort’s 174-room property resists the vast sprawl of some UAE resorts that require trekking poles. Here, everything still feels like an easy three to five-minute walk away from your room, suite, or villa.
Of Rooms, Suites and Villas
Guests can choose between rooms, suites or succumb to the allure of the resort’s signature villas. The Deluxe Garden Terrace Rooms are a spacious 57 square metres with a plush king-sized bed, a sofa, and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors overlooking a grassy foreground stretching out towards the mangroves and the sea. These rooms work well for solo travellers, couples or young families that want to keep one eye on the kids while sitting on the room’s outside terrace.
