Membership in Virtuoso and Serandipians is highly selective, extended only by invitation to destinations and travel brands that uphold the highest benchmarks of service, authenticity, sustainability, and guest experience. With this acceptance, Ras Al Khaimah joins a distinguished list of destinations such as Santorini, Kyoto, the Amalfi Coast, and the Serengeti , further cementing its growing reputation as one of the Middle East’s most exciting luxury destinations.
As a preferred member of these exclusive networks, Ras Al Khaimah will now be showcased to leading global travel advisors and luxury providers who curate tailor-made journeys for high-net-worth travellers.

Known for its stunning landscapes, cultural richness, and luxury resorts, Ras Al Khaimah is already home to iconic properties such as Waldorf Astoria and The Ritz-Carlton. New additions including Anantara Mina Al Arab and Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort further elevate the emirate’s hospitality portfolio, while upcoming openings by Wynn Resorts, Four Seasons, and Nobu Hotels promise to enhance its luxury appeal even further.
