The Ritz-Carlton, Al Hamra Beach Hotel

A truly relaxing and peaceful getaway. Everything about the hotel was excellent, but the standout was the exceptional service—friendly, attentive, and seamless. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, perfect for unwinding. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxury escape with top-notch hospitality.

The Villa was very nice it had everything we needed, it is the perfect place if you want to disconnect from the world. Thanks for the lovely stay

The best place EVER 💯
We had Enjoyed Everything
Thanks For All Stuff

This was my second stay at The Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra Beach, and once again, it was amazing! We came as a couple and everything was perfect — from the service, cleanliness, and friendly staff to the beautiful room and spacious private pool.

The breakfast was delicious with plenty of great options. It’s definitely one of my favorite summer spots, and I’ll keep coming back. Highly recommended for a peaceful and luxurious getaway.

We stayed at the Ritz Carlton in April 2025 for my wife’s 40th birthday. From the moment we arrived we were spoilt by the staff, we were met and checked in with the super nice and friendly reception staff and received an early check in as we had arrived early, the staff took our bags and transported these by buggy to the villa. The resort is wonderful, the villas are spacious and private with their own private pools and lounging areas, each villa has direct beach access and the rooms are very spacious. The restaurant (Shore House) which serves breakfast lunch and dinner was great with delicious food and fantastic views of the beach. The staff could not be more attentive and friendly - always asking whether we were ok. There is some construction taking place between reception and the approx villa 12 at the resort, however if you are a good sleeper this will not disturb you, the resort are appreciative of the construction work and impact on guests. Overall, this is a fantastic place to visit and stay for a relaxing holiday, there are plenty of dining options at nearby resorts and buggies are always on hand to take guests between resorts - would totally revisit the resort again.

Our experience at the Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi Desert, was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure every moment of our stay was memorable.

Dinner at the Farmhouse was a highlight, with each dish perfectly crafted and full of flavor, making it an unforgettable culinary experience. Our villa was a peaceful oasis beautifully designed with elegant touches that blended luxury with comfort. The serene atmosphere and classy style truly set it apart, creating a perfect escape.

There are wonderful activities nearby, but the star-gazing experience was the most magical part of our trip.

We’ll absolutely return for another stay

This was such an amazing few days, if I could give this hotel 12 stars I would. We went for our combined wedding anniversary/husbands birthday, and whilst of course I told the hotel this in advance, hoping that we might get a cake:-)…..every single day we had a surprise….whether it was rose petals and towel art on the bed, personal congratulations notes from the housekeeping staff, cakes every evening in the restaurant, birthday card signed with local greetings at breakfast, balloons in the Spa….. The villa was fabulous, our views of the desert, our private pool, the size of the bathroom. But what really stands out at this hotel is the staff. They are all absolutely exceptional, they all introduce themselves, at every level of job, and unless they are good actors, they all seem to love working here. We went to the sister Ritz on the beach for dinner one evening, and whilst the staff were pleasant, the quality of service provided, and genuine warmth, was chalk and cheese compared to the Ritz Al Wadi. Charith our butler was outstanding, as were the many staff we met across the resort from buggy drivers, to breakfast hostesses, to housekeeping, to Spa therapists. We had the BEST time, and literally cannot wait to go back. A big thank you to Aiden the excellent GM and his whole exceptional team.

We spent an amazing time at The Ritz Al Wadi desert for a birthday weekend.

We ate dinner at farmhouse, the steak was delicious and well seasoned. Great food!

Best stay… if you need privacy this place is the best choice…
I must recommend this place, reception desk is very friendly and the service is the best.

Our stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Al Wadi Desert, was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality.
The pool was a highlight for us, offering a perfect place to relax and unwind amidst the stunning desert surroundings. My kid had an absolute blast at the Kids Club, which had plenty of fun activities to keep him entertained.
Breakfast each morning was a delightful experience with a fantastic variety of delicious options to choose from and the staff went above and beyond to make our breakfast special—especially Danish, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful.
Overall, our experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Al Wadi Desert, was exceptional, and we can’t wait to return!
