The resort’s suites, spacious at 95 sqm, are light and breezy. Refreshing views from private balconies extend over lush greenery, the calm of the lagoon, and then the Arabian Gulf.

The resort’s overwater pool villas, meanwhile, are the first in Ras Al Khaimah and offer Maldivian-style luxury. They fan out across the lagoon, offering the ultimate privacy and uninterrupted views of the surrounding mangroves. Days unfold admiring flocks of migratory birds at dawn, cooling off in the infinity-edge plunge pool, and dining under the stars with every detail seen to by the Villa Host.

With summer now here, Anantara invites guests to live out their dream escape in these suites and villas. For weekday staycations of two nights or more, the resort is offering 35% savings on accommodation; half-board dining with flavours from around the world; 10% off additional dining; and 10% off at the sanctuary Anantara Spa. Families are particularly well catered for with complimentary stays and dining for kids 10 and under, two-bedroom villas to choose from, kids’ and teens’ clubs, a dedicated kids’ pool and babysitting service.

Those wishing to visit only for a while are invited to indulge in a spa day, with access to the private beach and resort swimming pool, as well as a blissful 90-minute massage of their choice.

The summer special is valid for stays from now until 15 October 2024. Spa days can be enjoyed Monday – Thursday with prior reservation. For more information, call +971 7204 2222
