Overview

Anantara’s arrival in Ras Al Khaimah marks a new chapter in Gulf luxury, introducing the region’s first overwater villas to a coastline already known for its natural beauty and tranquillity. Suspended above calm, aquamarine waters, these striking villas invite guests to experience barefoot luxury in its most refined form. Glass floor panels reveal glimpses of marine life drifting beneath, while expansive outdoor decks, private infinity pools, and uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf complete the atmosphere of exclusive seclusion.

Inside, the interiors are a thoughtful fusion of Thai elegance and Arabian sophistication. Rich wood finishes, hand-carved furnishings, and Asian textiles sit in harmony with arched motifs and soft desert hues, while oversized soaking tubs, rainfall showers, and plush loungers promise indulgence at every turn. For those seeking a connection to land, the resort’s lagoon and beachfront villas are equally serene, offering direct access to the shoreline and lush tropical landscaping.

As with all Anantara properties, wellness and dining take centre stage. The brand’s award-winning spa offers signature Thai treatments as well as locally inspired rituals, all in a setting that opens out to the gentle sway of the water. Culinary offerings are diverse and elevated, with overwater dining venues serving global cuisine alongside Arabian specialities and expertly mixed cocktails.

The resort’s setting within a protected nature reserve invites guests to explore via eco-friendly kayaking routes, guided mangrove tours, and curated excursions into the surrounding landscape. Whether you’re a honeymooner craving seclusion or a seasoned traveller in search of something quietly extraordinary, Anantara Mina Al Arab delivers a level of intimacy and craftsmanship that feels entirely in tune with nature—yet undeniably world-class.
