UAE residents choose bundle staycation packages in Ras Al Khaimah for Eid Al Adha

Hotels across Ras Al Khaimah are reporting strong occupancy ahead of Eid Al Adha, driven by rising demand from UAE residents opting for short-haul staycations within driving distance, as travelers prioritize convenience, value, and experience-led breaks.
Phillipa Harrison, Chief Executive Officer of the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), said the Eid period is seeing increased demand for bundled resort stays that combine accommodation, dining, and leisure activities, particularly among families seeking simplicity in holiday planning.

“This Eid Al Adha, we are seeing strong demand from UAE residents looking for getaways within easy driving distance that offer both convenience and value,” Harrison said.

She added that all-inclusive and package-based offerings are performing strongly, reflecting a broader shift in traveler behavior towards curated, pre-arranged resort experiences rather than standalone hotel stays.

“Even luxury hotel guests are increasingly seeking offers that include wellness, dining and curated resort activities,” she said.

Hotels in the emirate have introduced a range of Eid packages in response to rising demand.

At SO/Ras Al Khaimah, an ultra-all-inclusive Eid stay package is priced from about Dh1,200 per room per night for two adults, including dining across multiple venues, beachfront access, and curated creative and wellness activities.

At Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, Eid family stays start from around Dh1,300 per room per night for two adults, with complimentary stays for children and access to leisure facilities including pools, kids’ clubs and water-based activities.

Rixos Bab Al Bahr is offering an all-inclusive Eid stay from approximately Dh2,040 per room per night, featuring unlimited dining, entertainment programming, and family-focused activities.

Industry operators say such packages are contributing to higher occupancy levels across both luxury and mid-range properties, as families increasingly opt for integrated resort experiences over fragmented travel planning.

Harrison said Ras Al Khaimah continues to position itself as a nature-led destination focused on space, outdoor experiences, and a slower-paced environment, which is particularly attractive during peak holiday periods when residents seek restorative breaks close to home.

She added that curated resort programming remains a key driver of demand, with hotels across the emirate aligning Eid offerings around wellness, entertainment, and family-oriented experiences.
