This
landmark development marks the debut of the first Waldorf Astoria Residences as
part of a managed resort in the UAE, setting a new benchmark for luxury living
in the Northern Emirates.
Located
within the award-winning Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah resort, the
branded residences will feature 43 exclusive luxury homes. A unique private
resident lounge on the 16th floor will overlook the Arabian Gulf, featuring a
skylight terrace, cigar salon, a custom-designed wine storage and tasting room,
a lounge and private dining rooms. In addition to enjoying the resort's
renowned food and beverage offerings and expansive leisure and recreational
facilities, resident owners will have access to a private spa
facility featuring state-of-the-art fitness and recovery amenities,
round-the-clock personal trainers, a golf simulation room, a private theatre, a
pet grooming center and on-call concierge services. Al Hamra’s legacy and
expertise in delivering exceptional lifestyle experiences in the region will be
complemented by Waldorf Astoria’s world-class quality and amenities, promising
a living experience marked by timeless elegance.
The
project will redefine prestigious living, with thoughtfully curated
furnishings, various private amenities, and signature residence owner
benefits. The development’s palatial interiors are also paired with sweeping
views of the Arabian Gulf and Al Hamra Golf Course.
Each
home has been fitted with a harmonious blend of natural materials, wood and
marble elements to create an atmosphere of contemporary sophistication with
undertones of coastal luxury.
Spacious
terraces, dedicated concierge closets, multiple kitchen areas and sophisticated
smart home technology all add to the appeal of the residences, which are set
apart by their user-friendly design that caters to the preferences of
discerning residents.
Benoy
Kurien, group CEO, Al Hamra, said, “Launching the Waldorf Astoria Residences in
Ras Al Khaimah reflects a growing preference for high-end luxury living and
exclusive services in the Northern Emirates. This highlights increasing
confidence from global investors in the Emirate's progress and desire to make
it their home. Al Hamra's expertise in delivering innovative lifestyle
experiences in Ras Al Khaimah, combined with Waldorf Astoria’s timeless luxury
and service, will lead to the delivery of a one-of-a-kind world-class product.
The Waldorf Astoria Residences Ras Al Khaimah is poised to become a prestigious
address not only in the Emirate but globally. Al Hamra, as a holding company,
has a reputation for optimising its assets to provide the finest experiences to
residents and visitors alike.”
“Al
Hamra's partnership with Hilton reaffirms our continuous dedication to
providing Ras Al Khaimah with unparalleled, luxurious, and distinctive
experiences, aligning with our five-year growth strategy. The launch of Waldorf
Astoria Residences Ras Al Khaimah strengthens our position as a premium
lifestyle developer and real estate investment company, contributing to the
economic and touristic allure of Ras Al Khaimah within the UAE and the broader
region," said Kurien.
Dino
Michael, global category head, Hilton Luxury Brands, said, “This new
development is another key milestone for Waldorf Astoria within the UAE. The
debut of the residences will set a new benchmark for luxury residential
projects and furthers Hilton's commitment to offering unparalleled experiences
within the hospitality and real estate sector. This Ras Al Khaimah development
joins upcoming branded residential projects under Hilton’s luxury portfolio
across desirable destinations, including Athens, New York, Costa Rica and
Downtown Dubai.”
With
rising demand for luxury residential options from an increasingly international
client base, Al Hamra continues to diversify its residential offerings to meet
evolving preferences in the dynamic market. Al Hamra’s ongoing five-year plan –
which contributes to the Emirate’s robust tourism strategy – further seeks to
position the company at the forefront of change.
