The affiliation follows Ras Al Khaimah’s recent acceptance as a Virtuoso ’preferred’ destination, reflecting the emirate’s growing presence within global luxury networks.

The emirate’s luxury portfolio already includes Waldorf Astoria and The Ritz-Carlton, along with new arrivals such as Anantara Mina Al Arab and Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort.

Upcoming openings include Wynn Resorts, scheduled for early 2027, and SO/ Ras Al Khaimah, opening later this year, as well as properties from Four Seasons, Nobu Hotels, Fairmont, Taj and NH Collection.
