Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi Desert Villas
The Ritz-Carlton Residences Al Wadi Desert is an ultra-luxury residential enclave set within a 1,235-acre gated nature reserve in Ras Al Khaimah. Developed by RAK Hospitality Holding, this is the first Ritz-Carlton branded residential project in the UAE, offering a limited collection of just 35 private villas.
Designed for buyers seeking privacy, space, and long-term value, the project blends secluded desert living with the full-service standards of The Ritz-Carlton. Handover is scheduled for Q1 2027.
Each villa is fully furnished and designed to integrate seamlessly with the natural desert landscape, featuring earthy materials, soft architectural lines, and expansive glazing that frames uninterrupted views of the dunes and surrounding mountains.

Investment Considerations
With only 35 villas, Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi is positioned as a low-density, high-barrier-to-entry asset. The combination of a globally recognised hospitality brand, a protected natural setting, and Ras Al Khaimah’s expanding tourism sector supports long-term value preservation rather than short-term volume returns.
The project qualifies for the UAE Golden Visa and appeals primarily to end-users, second-home buyers, and lifestyle-focused investors.
