Sand dunes with mountains beyond, the kind of inland day trip from Ras Al Khaimah

A Ras Al Khaimah beach holiday

Villa Rak is a private villa in Danah Bay, on Al Marjan Island.

Ras Al Khaimah as a base, not a stopover

Ras Al Khaimah is the northern emirate: Gulf coast, mangroves, desert, and the Al Hajar mountains. People come for the beach and then leave for Jebel Jais, a wadi, or the dunes. A holiday works better with a house you return to, which is what Villa Rak is for.

The villa is in Danah Bay on Al Marjan Island. The beach is a path of about 5 minutes (0.5 km) from the house. The mountain and desert days are drives. Approximate times are on the location section of the home page.

Days that pair well with the villa

None of these are included in the stay. They are the usual reasons guests rent a car after breakfast at the house.

  • Danah Bay beach and the villa pool: the day you do not leave
  • Jebel Jais: the highest peak in the UAE, in the Al Hajar range, for the drive, the views, and the cooler air
  • Desert and wadis inland: dunes, Wadi Shawka, and the mountain roads east of the coast
  • Mangrove coastline: kayaking and quieter water than the open beach
  • Al Hamra Marina: dinner off the island when you want a change of scene

Who the house is for

Ten guests is the maximum. The bedroom mix (king, queens, and twins) plus a maid's room fits a family with children or a group of friends who still want a door they can close. The family room can be arranged as twins.

It is a poor fit if you want a hotel breakfast buffet, a kids’ club, or a one-night stop between flights. Minimum stay and nightly rates appear when you select dates on the booking page. High season around winter and New Year asks for longer stays.
