Two Rixos resorts, two very different ways to switch off

29 December 2025

For guests who like their holidays easy but still want quality, variety, and a bit of personality, Rixos delivers a refreshing take on the all-inclusive concept. In the UAE, two standout properties show just how different that experience can be. Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island leans into polished beachfront living with a strong focus on food, wellbeing, and family-friendly design, while Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah offers a more expansive, activity-led escape with space to spread out and a packed entertainment calendar. Choosing between them really comes down to how you like to holiday.

Two Rixos resorts, two very different ways to switch off

Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island

Sitting along a Blue Flag stretch of beach, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island has mastered an approach that genuinely works for families as well as couples. Food plays a central role here, with six restaurants included in each stay, ranging from Turkish classics to Asian dishes prepared during live teppanyaki sessions. It’s polished without being formal and flexible enough that parents can enjoy downtime while younger guests are happily occupied at the Rixy Kids’ Club or Teens Club.

Fitness, downtime, and evenings done to perfection

Beyond the beachfront setting, the resort’s real depth comes from the variety on offer. The Exclusive Sports Club offers a comprehensive programme of classes, ranging from reformer Pilates and yoga to more high-energy sessions, while Anjana Spa is the ideal destination for those seeking to slow things down, complete with a traditional hammam. As the day winds down, guests can drift between low-key beachside DJ sets or settle in for a drink at Savanna Sol, where the atmosphere feels social without being overwhelming. Also, in 2025, the resort was honoured with the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Award and awarded One Michelin Key by the MICHELIN Guide.

Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah

With a 1.5-kilometre-long stretch of private & natural beach, seven swimming pools (including a saltwater option) and a wide choice of rooms, suites, and villas, Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khamiah suits travellers who like a bit of breathing space. The Ultra All-Inclusive offering is generous without feeling overcomplicated, covering dining across ten restaurants and bars. Meals might mean Italian favourites at L’Olivo, a Turkish evening at Orient, flame-grilled cuts at the Toro Loco, or easy, all-day dining at Turquoise when you’d rather keep plans flexible. Add in laid-back spots like Sol Seafood Grill & Bar and the swim-up Highlights Bar, and there’s plenty of variety without needing to repeat the same venue twice.

Energy by day, entertainment by night

Entertainment is a big part of life at Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah, and the schedule runs well beyond the odd live band. Days flow into evening shows with everything from themed performances and live music to DJ-led sets that bring a buzz to the resort after dark. There’s always something happening, whether that’s a relaxed sunset session by the pool or a full-scale stage show later on.

Experience boutique beachfront living in Mexico

14 August 2026

For those who like their Caribbean escape with a little more character, The Fives Oceanfront offers boutique luxury right on the beachfront in Puerto Morelos. This former fishing village has kept a noticeably slower pace than some of the Riviera Maya’s larger resorts, with local restaurants, small shops, and the town’s leaning lighthouse all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, the atmosphere is equally laid-back, with contemporary design, plenty of space to switch off, and the Caribbean Sea taking centre stage.

Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

14 August 2026

This corner of the Caribbean has all the ingredients for an easy Caribbean escape, from the powder-soft sands of Grace Bay to brilliantly clear water made for long afternoons by the sea. But spend a little more time here, and there’s another side to the islands worth exploring. You can kayak through mangroves, snorkel over coral reefs, venture across to North and Middle Caicos, and seek out local food and music back on Providenciales. Better still, these experiences can easily sit alongside slower beach days, giving you a holiday that feels adventurous without needing to be action-packed from morning to night.

Singapore through the seasons: why there’s always something to celebrate

10 August 2026

Singapore may be compact, but its calendar is packed with celebrations that can transform an already memorable city break into something even more special. Throughout the year, its neighbourhoods are illuminated by festival lights, the Marina Bay skyline becomes the backdrop for fireworks and motor racing, and streets fill with parades, markets, music, and food. Many events reflect Singapore’s multicultural identity, giving visitors the chance to experience Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international traditions within the same city. You don’t necessarily need to plan your entire holiday around one event, either. Time your visit well, and Singapore’s annual celebrations can add colour, flavour, and a real sense of occasion to the attractions, restaurants, and neighbourhoods already on your itinerary.
