The five-star destination promises a bespoke experience for the discerning traveller, a statement said.

Kristina Zanic Consultants has brought a touch of French flair to Ras Al Khaimah, unveiling exquisite interiors for the emirate’s first Sofitel property, which celebrates the rich tapestry of ancient Emirati history, encompassing pearling, sailing, and pottery arts.

Embracing the city’s legacy, the hotel showcases the renowned French Art de Vivre, seamlessly blending with local architecture and art while drawing inspiration from the journeys of nomads across the Peninsula.

The result is a harmonious fusion of French-inspired maritime history and the distinctive Arabian essence. The grand lobby features a mural adorned with vibrant hues, drawing inspiration from Arabesque stained-glass, echoing history, and captivating the eye.

With 47 suites available, including the Prestige One Bedroom, Beachfront Signature Two Bedrooms, and Two Presidential Suites, the resort ensures a perfect retreat for every guest. From expansive bay windows flooding the spaces with natural light to breathtaking views of Ras Al Khaimah’s picturesque landscape, they are reminiscent of French coastlines, a statement said.

It’s not only a haven for leisure seekers but also a culinary destination with seven exceptional dining venues.
