Three friends needed to get away for a weekend escape: nowhere requiring a visa, or a plane ticket; just an hour’s drive would do with beach, pools and cabanas to laze upon and an extensive menu to select from…
The choice? Banyan Tree Ras Al Khaimah Beach, located an easy drive out of Dubai in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, and nestled along the tranquil blue of the Arabian Gulf.
Banyan Tree rests amidst 100 hectares of private nature reserve, home to indigenous plant and wildlife. Endless vistas of the Gulf waters and golden sand dunes make the wearing of footwear unnecessary while visiting.
Each Bedouin villa boasts its own private infinity pool. Fancy splashing about, lemon lime and bitters in hand, not a care in the world, with your view the vast desertscape of an unspoilt Emirate? Then don’t over look Ras Al Khaimah…
Due to its geographical location at the northern tip of the United Arab Emirates, Ras Al Khaimah is literally translated to “top of the tent” and originally known as Julfar. Myriad landscapes infuse this Emirate with interest and diversity: from rugged mountain peaks and mangroves to coastal salt marches, and of course desert.
Reposed on the Al Jazirah Al Hamra in Ras Al Khaimah, this exclusive all-pool villa resort possesses all the elements that us girls truly required to turn off and tune out of city life: a chilled out beach retreat subtly built around unspoiled natural beauty with smashing food and an outdoor bar. Hello weekend!
