When planning the perfect getaway in the United Arab Emirates, choosing the right destination can transform your holiday from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you're seeking a tranquil family retreat or an intimate couples' escape, two exceptional Rixos properties stand ready to exceed your expectations. From the pristine shores of Ras Al Khaimah to the cosmopolitan energy of Abu Dhabi, these remarkable hotels offer experiences that cater to every traveller.
Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah
Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah transforms the concept of a beach resort into something truly special. Stretching across more than 1.5 kilometres of private sandy coastline, this property offers space to breathe in ways that tower-style hotels simply cannot match. The resort's garden-style villas and low-rise accommodation blocks create an intimate village atmosphere where guests feel connected to both nature and each other.
For families, the resort's thoughtful design shines through in dedicated kids' and teens' clubs that keep younger guests engaged while parents enjoy well-deserved downtime. Meanwhile, couples appreciate the quieter zones and wellness-focused facilities that allow for meaningful connection away from everyday distractions.
The Ultra-All-Inclusive experience here goes beyond traditional resort offerings. Guests enjoy access to water sports that make the most of the bay's calm waters, while the multiple pools cater to different moods – from active family fun to peaceful adults-only relaxation.
Rixos Marina, Abu Dhabi
This marina-facing resort redefines urban luxury along the capital's prestigious Corniche. Even the location becomes a luxury at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi, with Marina Mall, Qasr Al Watan Palace, and Abu Dhabi's major cultural attractions all within easy reach. This central position provides easy access to world-class shopping, entertainment, and cultural explorations that provide deeper connections to Emirati heritage.
The property's approach to dining elevates the all-inclusive concept to new heights. Multiple fine-dining restaurants showcase international cuisines alongside authentic Turkish specialties, and the variety means families never struggle to find options that satisfy different tastes.
Entertainment at Rixos Marina goes beyond typical hotel offerings. Live shows, music performances, and signature Rixos-style programming create energy that differentiates this property from traditional city accommodations.
A new way to experience wellness
Both properties excel in creating spaces where wellness meets recreation, though each takes a distinct approach that reflects its environment. At Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah, wellness integrates seamlessly with the natural setting. Multiple pools serve different purposes – lap swimming for fitness enthusiasts, family pools for active play, and quiet areas for contemplative relaxation. The Anjana Spa brand at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi brings sophisticated wellness concepts to the urban environment. Families appreciate the variety of wellness options that allow parents to maintain fitness routines while children enjoy age-appropriate activities nearby.
Creating memories that last beyond your stay
The true measure of an exceptional hotel lies in its ability to create experiences that guests take home with them as memories that last forever. Both Rixos properties excel in this regard, though through different approaches that reflect their unique personalities and locations.
Both properties understand that the best getaways balance structured experiences with spontaneous discoveries. The Ultra-All-Inclusive concept removes financial stress while providing flexibility to embrace unexpected opportunities. Whether it's joining a cultural workshop, extending a spa treatment, or trying a new restaurant, guests can say "yes" to experiences that enhance their journey.
