Wadi Showka Mountain Retreat Farm House Ras Al Khaimah

Sleep in the mountains, cook your own meals, swim in a pool fed by dam views

Al Wadi Farm House in Wadi Showka is an overnight mountain retreat in Ras Al Khaimah where you stay in air-conditioned rooms, use a full kitchen to prepare meals, and swim in a temperature-controlled pool overlooking the Showkah Dam and flowing rivers. The farm holds up to twenty guests and includes a traditional Arabic majlis, outdoor seating, a children's play area, and fast internet, blending cultural immersion with modern comfort in a secluded setting away from the city.

The experience

The farm sits in Wadi Showka surrounded by lush landscapes and the Showkah Dam, a setting that pulls you out of urban noise without cutting you off from the basics. You arrive at 2pm and settle into one of three master rooms, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a large bed. The space is built for groups and families: a big hall with Arabic furniture and a large TV anchors the common areas, while an Arabic tent and outdoor seating let you move between shade and open air depending on the time of day and the heat.

The kitchen is fully equipped (refrigerator, freezer, microwave, oven, kettle, and water dispenser), so you cook what you want when you want it. A temperature-controlled swimming pool sits ready for the afternoon and morning, and a small sports club with a treadmill and games fills the gaps between meals and swimming. The children's play area keeps younger guests occupied, and fast internet means you stay connected if you need to. You leave at noon the next day, having spent a full night in the mountains without the structure of a guided tour or a restaurant schedule.

The farm accommodates up to twenty people, making it workable for extended families or small groups who want to share the cost and the space. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with very young children. Everything here is built for people who want to slow down in a mountain setting but don't want to rough it: the air conditioning, the pool, the kitchen, and the majlis all say you're staying somewhere that takes comfort seriously.
