Unwind this New Year – escaping the hustle and bustle of Dubai – with a relaxing family-friendly getaway at the newly upgraded Barracuda Beach Resort in Umm Al Quwain.

To mark the end of 2018 and the start of 2019, Barracuda is offering an alternative setting for those looking to enjoy a more laidback New Year’s celebration, on a budget, with family and friends.

Located just 60km from Dubai and 30km from Ras Al Khaimah, Barracuda Beach Resort is situated on the edge of the Umm Al Quwain lagoon and next door to Dreamland Aqua Park. The resort consists of 20 studios, 12 one-bedroom units, eight two-bedroom units and 11 waterfront villas which boast private, enclosed lawns and BBQ facilities.

As part of our recent refurbishments, all 40 guest rooms and 11 waterfront villas have undergone contemporary upgrades, enhancements have been made to the pool terrace and its surrounding landscape and the beach has also witnessed a major clean-up.

Harikrishnan, General Manager, Barracuda Beach Resort, said: “With room rates starting from just AED320 per room per night, we must be one the best value-for-money beach resorts in the UAE. We are an ideal option for cost-conscious families wanting to celebrate New Year’s Eve together, in a casual and relaxing environment, without paying the earth.”

“Guests can also order a platter of freshly marinated meats and seafood from Aquarius restaurant, which can be cooked at the BBQ park located on the beach,” Harikrishnan added.

“However, we do also have a Gala Dinner from 9pm till 12am in our signature Aquarius restaurant, for those who want to enjoy a sumptuous international buffet,” he said.

The resort also features another F&B outlet, Thunder Road, an Italian pizzeria and grill restaurant.

“The next morning guests can enjoy a hearty breakfast before spending the day at the beach or by our swimming pool which was recently transformed into an infinity pool, complete with a swim-up bar.”

Alternatively, guests can check out Dreamland Aqua Park which is situated just next door to Barracuda Beach Resort. Featuring a variety of water slides, lazy river, wave pool and children’s aqua play area as well as several food and beverage outlets and a mini zoo, Dreamland is the perfect family day out.

As well as the newly opened infinity swimming pool, leisure facilities include a children’s play area, volleyball and basketball court, cricket ground and an indoor games centre featuring table tennis and billiards.
