About Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort

Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Resort is a 174-key beachfront resort on a private peninsula in Mina Al Arab, with a lawn and a private beach for celebrations.

Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Resort stands on a private peninsula of golden sand in Mina Al Arab, in the northernmost emirate of the UAE. Water surrounds it on three sides, with a natural lagoon and protected mangroves beside it and the Hajar mountains inland. The resort has 174 rooms, suites and pool villas, including the emirate's first overwater villas, and the drive from Dubai International Airport takes about 45 minutes. Six restaurants and bars range from Mediterranean dining at Beach House to Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese dishes at Mekong, and Anantara Spa works from traditional Thai healing.

Celebrations are held on the lawn and the private beach, each set for 300 guests seated or 450 standing. Couples can renew their vows on the sand at sunset beneath a floral arch, followed by a candlelit dinner prepared by a personal chef and served by a butler. Guests staying on can kayak through the mangroves, try water sports, visit the mangrove discovery centre or play padel, and excursions reach Jebel Jais, the Suwaidi Pearl Farm and Dhayah Fort. A kids' club, a teens' club and interconnecting rooms mean families can travel together.
