A recent unveiling of its Sky Palace triplex at the Waldorf Astoria Residences Ras Al Khaimah – the only residence of its kind in the Northern Emirates – revealed an ultra-elite space that spans the full 21st to 23rd floors of the resort.
Sky Palace has been designed for those demanding the highest expression of privacy, prestige, and permanence. The three-level complex has an impressive floor space of 9,784 sq ft, with floor-to-ceiling windows that grant unparalleled views of the Arabian Gulf, Al Marjan Island, and the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan.
Inside, exquisite marble floors, earthy colors, and inviting furnishings curate the space at the seven-star address. Throughout, it’s been fitted with a high-end, smart-home system and state-of-the-art appliances designed to assist with modern living.
The privileges are exactly what one would expect from a property priced at AED 130 million (approx. $35.4m). They include an expansive, panoramic terrace with a private pool; a private internal lift connecting all three levels of the triplex; a VIP lift from the ground floor to the residence; a private wellness suite including a gym, sauna, Jacuzzi, and steam room; and priority access across the resort’s fine dining restaurants, longevity spa, cigar lounge, private beach, and yacht club destinations. Dedicated butler and round-the-clock concierge service is, of course, part of the package.
Expected to be seen as an architectural icon in Ras Al Khaimah’s skyline, Al Hamra’s group chief executive officer, Benoy J Kurien stated: “The Sky Palace is more than a residence – it is a global statement of rarity and refinement. It reflects not only Waldorf Astoria’s legacy of elegance, but also Ras Al Khaimah’s transformation into one of the region’s most desirable destinations for luxury living.”
Speaking previously about the launch of Waldorf Astoria Residences in Ras Al Khaimah, set to open in 2026, Kurien added that it “reflects a growing preference for high-end luxury living and exclusive services in the Northern Emirates, [highlighting] increasing confidence from global investors in the Emirates’ progress and desire to make it their home.”
