All In for Style – SO/ Ras Al Khaimah Raises the Stakes in Luxury All-Inclusive Escapes

Style, sun, and sea? RAK is getting a major upgrade. 

Ras As Khamiah has long been one of our favourite road trips for its more expensive neighbouring emirate of Dubai. And this November, Ennismore is opening SO/ Ras Al Khaimah, its first all-inclusive resort outside Europe, bringing a welcome dose of the divine to the city.

The new structure is ultra sleek and impressive. 

Set against the striking backdrop of Al Marjan Island, where desert dunes meet the crystal waters of the Arabian Sea, SO/ Ras Al Khaimah promises a plethora of bedrooms in the hundreds, plus a variety of plush suites, each with uninterrupted sea views. Expect interiors to take inspiration from the surrounding landscape, with sunset oranges, deep ocean teals, sandy stones, and natural greens paired with light walnut, sandstone joinery, and bronze accents. We’re thinking effortless, comfortable, yet chic.

The resort is just as ambitious with food and drink as it is with design. There are fie culinary experiences including casual all-day dining at The Market, Mediterranean fare at Chiano, Levantine flavours at Hadaba, Japanese and Pan-Asian dishes at Floating World, and high-end cocktails with live entertainment at Savant on the 10th floor. Two pool bars and an adults-only (whoop!) beach club round out the offerings for a truly immersive stay.

Private pools for a perfect splish splash over the Arabian Gulf.

Wellness fans will feel right at home as SO/’s spa offers treatment rooms, a sauna, and a cold-water pool, while the fully equipped gym and complimentary classes keep your fitness goals on track, even when you’re away for a cheeky staycation. For outdoor adventures, the area offers everything from sunrise desert walks and kayaking to seven nearby golf courses. So get practicing on that swing because escape has never been so stylish.

Why go now? 

With Ras Al Khaimah welcoming over 1.28 million overnight visitors in 2024, and ambitious tourism goals for 2030, the timing couldn’t be better. It could be set to become the ultimate new playground for those who love sun-soaked luxury a stone’s throw from the usual haunts.

Plush rooms and furnishings that blend chic with elite.
