Rakeen, a leading property developer and master planner, said that the Banyan Tree Al Wadi resort project in Ras Al Khaimah, will be ready for handover to the operators in July, two months ahead of the scheduled September opening.

Banyan Tree Al Wadi will be the first resort in the UAE - and third in the Middle East - by award-winning Asian hospitality brand, Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts.

The project is set to be the first luxury desert resort in the UAE to offer pool villas, hydrotherapy spa treatments, nature reserve and a beach club, among other attractions.

“The Banyan Tree style of hospitality combined with traditional Arabian touch points will take the local hospitality scene to a whole new level,” said Pascal Eppink, general manager, Banyan Tree Al Wadi.

“Our consultants have been very sensitive towards the desert setting by selecting materials, finishes, colors and textures that aesthetically blend with the resort and its landscape,” added Ghassan Youssef, managing director, Rakeen.

The Banyan Tree Al Wadi – located in Wadi Khadeja – boasts 70 pool villas and 31 tented pool villas.

The signature Banyan Tree Spa features 10 treatment pavilions, a hydrothermal circuit with a hammam and vitality pool for the most indulgent spa experiences delivered by therapists trained in the Banyan Tree Spa Academy in Phuket, he added.
