Stressed at work and in need of some fresh air and serenity? Then pack up a bag and take your family to Shore House at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach for their Barefoot Friday Brunch.

The hotel is a secluded oasis surrounded by a bounty of natural enchantments and cultural wonders, an ideal environment to leave all your worries behind.

Every Friday the Shore House restaurant is transformed into an island-inspired destination, making it the perfect family-style beach setting for your Friday feast.

From 1pm to 4pm, tuck into local and fresh seafood that include oysters, sushi and sashimi. There’s even live food stations serving up dishes from around the world to please every palate.

It’s served up to the serene sounds of the nearby sea, mingled with the music coming from a live DJ.

If you want to continue your brunching experience past 4pm, opt for the ‘After Brunch Sundowners’ for an additional Dhs150 per person. You will receive unlimited house drinks for another two hours until 6pm. Advanced reservations are required for this though, so plan ahead.

And if you want to make a weekend of it, you can choose to extend your tranquil experience and enjoy the hotel’s ‘Brunch & Stay’ package.

With the package, guests can stay in a luxurious private tented villa that comes with its own temperature-controlled swimming pool. It also includes a brunch upgrade for two people.

And since there are only 32 villas, it’s the perfect escape for those seeking a luxe and tranquil weekend.
