After a gruelling 12 months it’s about time we all enjoyed ourselves.

So, this Eid holiday put aside the work stress, switch off the news, ditch the to-do list – instead book a stay in invigorating Ras Al Khaimah at the glorious new Hampton by Hilton Hotel on Marjan Island.

This is no ordinary resort. The largest Hampton by Hilton in the world, this four-star giant with a bit of a Las Vegas vibe features 515 guest rooms all overlooking either the sea or the beautiful island. Plus, it has its very own stretch of private golden beach for chilling out while driving your friends crazy with Instagram posts.

To celebrate the opening of this eye-catching new destination, Hampton by Hilton Marjan Island is offering rates starting at just Dh399 for bookings through to August 31. In addition, those who book three nights or more get an instant prize and kids below 12 years of age stay and eat for free.

The hotel’s style is exactly what you’d want from a beach holiday. Spacious, airy, and chic but ultra-welcoming with colourful boat paddles hung in the guest rooms and surf boards adorning the restaurants and public areas – you’ll be aching to fling on your flip flops and funky vacation attire.

Also, in a clever design twist half the rooms are connecting making the hotel ideal for groups of friends or family. Confirmed Connecting Rooms by Hilton – an innovative booking technology – allows you to easily book and instantly confirm at least two connecting rooms. Simple!

You can start the day as you mean to with a sumptuous free breakfast at Flavors, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant. Other yummy snacking options include the H2O pool bar, and The View lobby cafe.
