Playground of Your Dreams
Pack the treats, grab the leash, and call your furry bestie because Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort in Ras Al Khaimah has officially declared itself the five-star hotspot for pets who vacation better than most humans. Yes girl — the era of "Sorry, no pets allowed" is over. And let’s be real…
it’s about time the pets started living their 5-star life too.
Thanks to chic collaborations with Groomology and luxury pet brand Howl & Growl, Sofitel has rolled out a pet-friendly experience so stylish, so adorable, and so extra,
your dog might actually refuse to go home.
A Pet Check-In That Feels Like VIP Check-In
The moment your little fur diva trots into the resort, the pampering begins. Each pet-friendly room comes with:
A plush pet bed fit for a tiny monarch
Matching food and water bowls
Complimentary dog food (because snacks = love)
A signature welcome gift by Howl & Growl
And let’s pause on that welcome gift. A chic collar? A cute harness? A tiny ecru bandana that screams “Do you know who my owner is?” It’s giving Haute Dog Couture, honey.
There’s even a QR code in every room that takes you straight to Howl & Growl’s glam collection of pet accessories. Tell your pet to get their wallet — things might get expensive.
Walks, Wags & Waterfront Vibes
The resort’s lush gardens and dreamy beachside pathways were practically designed for golden-hour strolls with your fur baby. It’s giving “rom-com montage with your pet” energy.
Pets can enjoy:
Leisurely walks through tropical gardens
Breezy seaside hangouts
A chance to dip their paws in the water outside the guest-only zones
Sure, the pool areas are off-limits — but honestly, the beach is where the real magic happens.
There’s something about a sunset, a soft breeze, and a dog wearing a designer bandana that just feels… right.
Pet-Friendly Dining? Say Less.
If you’re the kind of person who refuses to leave your pet behind during brunch (same), you’re in luck. Sofitel Al Hamra lets your pet join you on the terraces of its most iconic restaurants:
Waka – Polynesian perfection
Samphire – your Mediterranean moodboard
Reunion – French vibes only
East – Levantine flavors with sunset drama
Veritas – elegant and moody, like your last situationship
Imagine this: You, sipping a cocktail at golden hour… and your dog patiently waiting for you to drop a crumb (or five). That’s the kind of togetherness we live for.
