1The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert – UAE

Set in an Arabian desert reserve, this resort offers warmth, privacy, and star-filled winter nights. Each villa has a private heated pool, perfect for late-night dips under the desert sky.

The spa combines Arabian healing traditions with modern luxury: desert-sand scrubs, warm herbal compresses, and outdoor hydrotherapy circuits that feel magical during cooler desert evenings. It’s luxurious, serene, and unlike any traditional winter escape.
