Al Raha Beach hotel, Abu Dhabi’s first boutique resort, opens its doors this holiday season for relaxed family getaways and elegant long weekends with special rates during Ramadan and Eid, starting at Dhs 600 per night.
According to general manager, Kamal Zayati, the quiet surroundings so close to the capital makes an ideal escape from the city during the holidays.
He said: “Merely 20 minutes from the Abu Dhabi city centre, Al Raha Beach Hotel offers seamless service and understated luxury. We know this is still a hectic time of year for many people and we’re here to make each guest’s stay effortless.”
The Ramadan rates include a deluxe Gulf view room with the choice of breakfast or Suhoor, with single occupancy at Dhs 600 and double occupancy at Dhs 675 per room, per night. A full Iftar buffet is available every evening at sundown for an additional Dhs 95 net per person.
Zayati said: “Al Raha welcomes the entire family. Our Ramadan tent on the beach comes to life each night as guests experience our best Arabic specialities. We have a classic assortment of shisha, along with traditional coffees and teas, dates and sweets to enjoy until the early hours of the morning.”
Extending beyond Ramadan, the resort also offers a two night/three day Eid package for only Dhs 335 per person, based on double occupancy. The Eid package, valid November 3-9, 2005, is inclusive of a deluxe Gulf view room, welcome drink, buffet breakfast and Eid buffet brunch.
Throughout both Ramadan and Eid, up to two children under 12 years of age may stay in the room for free, paying half-price on all regular food and beverage. Guests also have access to the leisure facilities at the resort, including health club and spa, indoor and outdoor pools, gym, squash courts, water sports and a kids’ playground.
Al Raha Beach Hotel is operated by Danat Hotels & Resorts, the umbrella brand for the hotel division of National Corporation for Tourism & Hotels (NCT&H).
Capitalising on the growing reputation of the Arabian Gulf for exceptional hospitality and customer-focused service, Danat Hotels & Resorts’ gradual expansion aims to establish a name that will be recognised as a quality mark by customers in the Middle East and overseas.
Danat Hotels & Resorts, a division of the Abu Dhabi-based National Corporation for Tourism & Hotels (NCT&H) manages two new five-star resorts, the Danat Resort Jebel Dhanna and the Al Raha Beach Hotel, as well as a cluster of four-star properties in the emirate. The hotels are either owned and/or managed by the group, or where the group is the owner-representative.
The National Corporation for Tourism & Hotels (NCT&H) was formed in 1996 in response to the need to develop both tourism and commerce in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), especially Abu Dhabi.
The Corporation was formed as a semi-government organisation. NCT&H’s primary objective is to promote Abu Dhabi as an international destination, manage hotels and provide transportation and industrial catering services.
