The Ritz Carlton

An introduction to The Ritz Carlton

Sleek, chic and fabulous – that's the Ritz Carlton, an immaculate hotel that oozes glamour and style. Golden sands, sparkling pools and juicy tropical gardens are the hallmarks of this luxurious property which, despite its grandeur, still manages to engulf you in a warm and friendly ambience. Rooms are immaculately furnished and located in low-rise, two level buildings. Each one has a private terrace facing either the shimmering Red Sea and Tiran Island or the pristine gardens and pools – a great place to relax with an early evening drink. As you'd expect, dining at the Ritz Carlton is a real treat, with everything from international buffets and fine Italian fare to Middle Eastern delicacies and the ancient Japanese cuisine, Teppanyaki. Food aside, one of Ritz Carlton's prize assets is its fabulous pools. There are three to choose from, one of which is especially for the little ones. But the real gem is the lazy river that wraps itself around the complex. Grab a rubber ring, sit yourself down and float along at your leisure. Whether you're pounding the treadmills in the fully-equipped fitness centre or tucking into pizza by the pool, topping up your tan on the private beach or practicing your serve out on the court, you're guaranteed a holiday to remember at this exclusive resort. Of course, that's if you can tear yourself from the spa. And with irresistible treatments dating back to the days of the ancient pharaohs and Egyptian queens, it's not going to be easy. Cleopatra eat your heart out…
