“The introduction of Troon’s International Division will help Al Hamra enhance its leisure products offering and evolve its global appeal in key feeder markets,” commented Benoy Kurien, General Manager Al Hamra Group. “The destination has enjoyed considerable success since being introduced to the market place and we are ready to enhance and grow our international recognition and operations further.”
Al Hamra Village is framed by a wide range of accommodation options, with nearly 1,000 rooms across four luxury hotels. Visitors can choose from the Waldorf Astoria; an ultra-luxurious space of tranquillity and palatial surroundings, the Hilton Beach Resort; surrounded by landscaped gardens or the Al Hamra Residence and Village; a unique blend of local heritage and modern design, nestled between the golf course and white sandy beach; and the soon to be opened Ritz Carlton Ras al Khaimah, which offers 32 private villas each with their own pool and beach access.
