Ras Al Khaimah, aka RAK, (not to be confused with RAC city, the tune\u00a0by Kylie Jenners on-again, off-again beau\u00a0Tyga)\u00a0is an hour (and a half with Thursday evening traffic) north of\u00a0Dubai.<\/p>\n

An Emirate all of it’s own, it’s known as the ‘rebel Emirate’, (because\u00a0drinking\u00a0laws are more relaxed)\u00a0and it’s\u00a0your best bet for hiking or adventure orientated trips in the region.<\/p>\n

The Waldorf Astoria\u00a0is undoubtedly the\u00a0jewel in\u00a0RAK’s crown. With major development planned for RAK in the next couple of years,\u00a0including an entire\u00a0island and the possibility\u00a0of a couple more five star resorts, here are six\u00a0reasons to\u00a0visit the striking hotel\u00a0before the crowd descends:<\/p>\n

1. The attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel and your stay is incredible<\/h3>\n

Never before have we visited a hotel\u00a0where the attention to detail is so astounding. From the second you book, you have a direct contact with a concierge who will do everything possible to make your trip more comfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also, every design detail\u00a0has a reason behind it.\u00a0For example, the large clock in the main lobby;\u00a0every Waldorf\u00a0in the world boasts a unique timepiece. This one is made from\u00a0champagne gold and it’s\u00a0truly stunning. It was designed exclusively to honour Arabic culture and includes the\u00a0five daily prayer times.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. The art work is something else<\/h3>\n

Eye-catching pieces are littered throughout\u00a0the hotel. Some were specially created\u00a0and are totally unique; the\u00a0peacock at the entrance of Peacock Alley lounge is made from diamonds, sapphires and peacock feathers,\u00a0the feathers were taken from peacocks around the world, in celebration\u00a0of the unity all the nationalities in RAK.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. There’s loads to do (even after you’ve gotten bored of the beach)<\/h3>\n

And the packages are pretty special.\u00a0Forget belly dancing and flashing lights,\u00a0the Waldorf wants to offer guests properly\u00a0authentic day trips. From camel racing,\u00a0water activities and falconry expeditions,\u00a0the region’s highest mountain, Jebel Jais is also\u00a0nearby, and it’s just opened the\u00a0Via Ferrata (or Iron Road). That’s a\u00a0470 meters protected climbing route, 120 metres high. and includes three zip\u00a0lines)….if you’re feeling adventurous!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4. The\u00a0‘dine around’ package means real foodies can sample three restaurants in one night<\/h3>\n

The package lets you have your starter in one restaurant, you main in another\u00a0and dessert in another. You’ll sample stunning Middle Eastern cuisine at\u00a0Marjan,\u00a0Japanese dishes\u00a0at trendy\u00a0Umi or American steakhouse\u00a0Lexington Grill. This basically means you’re eating at three fine dining restaurants in one night. It’s ideal if you’re only staying for one night, but also if you like s a bit of variety.\u00a0Just\u00a0think of it as an\u00a0incredibly classy restaurant hop.<\/p>\n

(And the deals starts at AED 270)<\/p>\n

5. You’ll get a good nights sleep<\/h3>\n

Probably the most important point of all, right? Everything from the bed linen, the bath robes, the slippers and the carpets are all super luxe. These rooms are so comfortable, you’ll never want to leave (and if it wasn’t for a bill at the end of your stay, you probably never would.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6. It’s a super private hotel<\/h3>\n

Anyone looking for ultimate privacy, the Waldorf has\u00a0got a separate private entrance, which bypasses\u00a0the main lobby. Fun fact: this has never actually been used for this reason. But if you’re having a bad hair day…<\/p>\n

Also most of the restaurants have separate dining rooms, ideal for\u00a0get togethers\u00a0with your nearest and dearest.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
