The itinerary includes an All Inclusive board basis in both destinations and private cra transfers throughout for the ultimate worry-free escape.

From the moment you see the perfectly framed view as you arrive into the lobby you can appreciate the fantastic beachfront setting and chilled-out and friendly atmosphere of this east-coast resort. The focal point is the large infinity pool which is just steps away from the sands of the sweeping beach; the walk along the beach towards Belle Mare is an enjoyable way to while away a couple of hours.

A 3 night stop in Ras Al Khaimah on your return adds to the adventure, staying at the Movenpick Al Marjan Island resort. This heavenly hideaway is perfectly positioned right on the Arabian Gulf, with white powdery stretches and azure rolling waves as far as the eye can see. Visually, you couldn’t want for more, but this place is so much more than just a pretty face. From the postcard-perfect 360-degree views to the menu of action-packed excursions and trio of sparkling outdoor pools, you’ll never be short of things to see and do.
