Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Resort

Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Resort is ultra modern without being flashy or ostentatious. Built for 2023 and part of the Mina Al Arab luxury development, it also has a design that is sympathetic to its surroundings and has been made with ecological credentials to the fore. Antara hotels all achieve Green Growth 2050 certification, and here they pledge to manage water and energy consumption, reduce waste and work with local communities. For many this might be the first step in achieving true relaxation; knowing that they are enjoying luxury while also being a responsible tourist. Set in the more tranquil northernmost emirate of the UAE, the guest rooms are directly over water, you can wake up to the sound of the waves and dive straight into the water below. Those same waters will be below you as you dine at the resort’s signature Thai restaurant. On site, there are pools, sports including tennis and water sports, a stunning spa, wellness centre and fitness facilities. There is even a discovery and eco-learning centre, in keeping with a resort that will have a mangrove management plan, and feature diverse flora and fauna in a stunning lagoon setting. However, days can also be spent exploring, whether to the relaxed marina, or off on a yacht charter, riding across rolling sand dunes or tackling the peaks of Jebel Jais. Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Resort looks set to be of long-term benefit, both to those visiting, but also to its own beautiful location.
