Al Raha Beach Hotel
Interview with Kamal Zayati, General Manager
Twenty minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi
lies a hotel property which distinguishes
itself from those in the city centre. Spacious,
elegant and with an air of sophistication,
the Al Raha Beach Hotel offers something
different to the Abu Dhabi visitor, be it
business or pleasure. 110 rooms and 24
exclusive villas (for short and long term stays)
comprise the complex which sits adjacent to
900 metres of clear beach front. Beautifully
landscaped gardens adorn the environs,
contributing to a luxurious experience with a
distinctly Arabian hospitality.
While the ambience that one encounters
upon first entry to the illustrious front lobby
is certainly one of luxury, the hotel also offers
business guests the full range of services
to suit their needs. The hotel customarily
holds business functions in its considerable
ballroom (capacity 800), and facilitates
corporate meetings with its 8 fully equipped
meeting rooms.
Owned by government body ICT and
managed by National Corporation for
Tourism & Hotels (NCT&H) under the
Danat Hotels and Resorts Brand, Al Raha
Beach Hotel also bears the distinguished
logo of “Preferred Hotels and Resorts”,
indicating that it has reached and maintains
