PB hotel design editorial

A man-made peninsula pushed into the shallow turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf, its white sand and low-slung tented pavilions visible from above as a single, unhurried gesture against the sea — this is the setting the Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach was built to inhabit. The property, which opened in 2017, arranges its 32 tented pool villas across reclaimed land at Al Hamra, each structure anchored by a peaked canvas roof and timber frame that draws from the vernacular of Gulf encampment rather than the vertical ambitions of Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Inside, the design language balances colonial-era travel romance with Arabesque detailing: bamboo-lined ceilings pitched steeply above four-poster beds draped in white muslin, brass-fitted trunk furniture serving as room dividers, and ikat-printed cushions in indigo set against cream linen. Arched doorways within the sleeping quarters nod to Moorish geometry, while the teak-decked private pools outside give each villa a procession from interior cool to open sky. The outdoor dining deck, set directly on the beach with festoon lighting strung between timber poles, captures something closer to a private dhow landing than a resort restaurant, the Gulf horizon flattening out to infinity at sunset. The overall effect favors intimacy and material warmth over the monumental scale that defines much of the emirate's hospitality landscape.

"A stay that I did not want to end! Our stay was perfect… from the moment we stepped out of the car and were greeted by friendly valet, to the very end when we reluctantly had to leave. The epitome of luxury! It was a seamless check-in, followed by a short (very exciting for the children) ride in the golf buggy to our room. Trees lined the pathway as we walked to our private villa, with the view of the sea straight ahead. Waiting for us in our room was a small feast! The children were thrilled to have marshmallows and strawberries to dip into melted chocolate, and then the adults were enthused by the chocolates, welcome drinks and cheese platter! Our room was beautiful! Floor to ceiling windows throughout, leading out to our own private area which included a bath, a private pool and a seating area. As you walked further down the pathway, there were sunbeds in a Cabana type structure, amongst trees and other greenery. The perfect haven! Lying here listening to the waves and reading my book was an absolute dream! The children loved taking their buckets to collect shells, and the lifeguard at the beach was great! He brought over some “special shells” that he knew would be a hit with the children, and gave them some more bags to collect even more shells. The lady at kids club was warm and welcoming, and the children instantly took a shining to her. She made friendship bracelets, applied face paint, sang, and made lots of arts and crafts with them. In the evening, we had dinner on the beach. It was January, so the weather was a little cold. But there was a warm and welcoming fire to keep us cosy. With the fire burning and the water glistening in the moonlight, a calm serenity took hold. The setting was nothing short of perfect. We ordered the seafood platter which was rich in flavour, with the lobster being the best we have tasted! As we were eating dinner, it struck me… all those blinds need to go down before we get the children to bed! However, fear not… when we arrived back at the room, the turn-down service had already taken care of this. Slippers by the bed, dates on the bedside table, low level lighting… a perfect end to the most perfect day! I was then able to sit outside with the cheese platter and my kindle and fully embrace this moment of luxury. In the morning, we had breakfast included. Seeing that it was an alacarte menu brightened my morning. I ordered avocado on toast and added some hallumi, mushrooms and hash browns. It really was absolutely fantastic food quality. I then enjoyed a biscoff lotus croissant complemented by my coffee. Sadly, we only stayed the one night so I could not partake in the mimosa breakfasts which were calling my name. Next time, I will be sure to book two nights instead! We had the most amazing staycation and I hope to go back again in the near future to relive this experience"

"We arrived at a really busy time but the team were so efficient that we were checked in and in our villa within 25 mins of arriving. The rooms are spacious with a really nice sized pool. Staff are fantastic, all very helpful and friendly. Room service lunch was delicious and really good portion size. The only reason I selected 4 star rather than 5 is because of attention to some small details i.e. bedside electric socket and the sockets on the back of the bed not working and some of the privacy frosting has been peeled off the bathroom door and not replaced. When you’re paying for a premium hotel I’d expect that attention would be paid to the small details. It didn’t spoil our trip at all and we will definitely return!"
