Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort, Ras Al Khaimah
Nestled along the coast of Ras Al Khaimah is a serene sanctuary with one of the largest lagoon pools you’ll ever see. Besides being an optimal destination for a poolside escape, Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort is home to a handful of fine dining destinations, plus entertainment options for children, including a mini waterpark area with colourful slides as well as an indoor kids’ club. The fact that there are four different swimming pools make this a getaway perfect for warmer months, but the star of the property is certainly the lagoon pool, which extends towards the beach and features in-water lounge chairs, perfect for sunbathers and bookworms seeking to sip on fresh coconut water while surrendering to their surroundings.

Dining options are ample at this resort, which opened under Accor last year and houses eateries including the main building’s restaurant, East, as well as its latest opening: Polynesian concept, Waka. From spicy seafood salads to slow-roasted meats, flavour and authentic cooking combine in a rich experience, coupled with lively decor and live Latin singing. For a toned-down yet equally indulgent meal, Reunion serves up sumptuous bistro-style French cuisine within luxe yet laid-back interiors.
