One of the newest properties in the Banyan Tree’s portfolio, Banyan Tree Al Wadi in Ras Al Khaimah has launched its brand new beach club.  On 16th November 2010, 32 luxurious Beachfront Pool Villas have been unveiled.  It is the first time that a resort in the UAE combines a stay that includes a wildlife nature reserve, sweeping desert dunes, awe-inspiring mountains and relaxing beach experience.

Following a short 20 minute chauffeured drive from the desert resort, guests will be sailed to the beach villas in a traditional Dhow boat – just two minutes from the main shore line.  Each Beachfront Pool Villa has direct access to a private beach as well as a secluded terrace, plunge pool and covered gazebo. For golf lovers, Al Hamra Golf Club offers an 18 hole course on the
mainland where the dhow boats set sail.

There is a dedicated spa with six treatment pavilions as well as a beach grill restaurant called Sands that will serve light snacks and a selection of daily specials. There is a beautiful swimming pool and sundeck for guests who simply wish to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Banyan Tree Al Wadi launched in April this year and is the first luxury desert hotel in the UAE to offer an all-pool villa concept. 

The opening rate for one night in a new Beachfront Pool Villa starts from AED 2,635 per villa per night including breakfast and is valid until December 27, 2010.
