This exquisite resort was perfectly planned and developed in the center of the Hajar Mountains and expansive desert and the crystal blue Arabian Sea. This magnificent luxury resort delicately balances its contemporary facilities to the historically grand architectural features characterized by a long, rich history.

It is not hard to believe that this fairy tale property is a crown jewel of the Hilton brands. The decision to bringing the legendary Waldorf service to one of the most stunning beachfront locations in the Middle East was just short of genius.

All of this and more await you in a land characterized by a rich history and heritage.

The Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah was built with weddings in mind. This destination is a devotee of world class elegance and each room promises world class luxury. No expense has been spared—apparent by each and every appointment throughout the resort, from the beautifully serene spa to the views of the Arabian Sea and private butler service.

This extraordinary property is wedding ready! This little oasis has more than eight restaurants all suited for private dining, their spaces can accommodate weddings for 80 up to 900 guests with ease and their staff have the ability to adapt to each size with ease and grace.

So where does one who comes from a culture that weddings are a very much a community affair have their weddings? Well, for starters a palace of course, but the choices are numerous in this region but we were fortunate to find this one and understand why it continues to be one of the region’s choice for those who are looking for opulence, luxury, class and first class customer service.  Why none other than the legendary Waldorf Astoria.
