This new restaurant is located within Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort.
Ras Al Khaimah has long been a go-to spot for UAE residents looking to hit reset. Whether it’s a relaxing weekend staycation or a quick escape from city life, the emirate is known to deliver. And now, there’s one more reason to make your way up north. Get ready to indulge in Polynesian cuisine at Waka.
Located within the recently opened Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort, Waka finds a scenic spot between Ras Al Khaimah’s largest pool and the sea. This island-inspired retreat promises a memorable meal that’s packed with fire and flavour for the ultimate Polynesian experience.
Waka translates to canoe, giving a nod to Polynesia’s seafaring legacy, which represents exploration, sustainability and a connection with the ocean. And from the moment you walk in, you’ll be whisked away to a journey of the senses. The design and decor feature influences from across the Polynesian archipelagos — with a bit of South and Central American flair. A mix of black and white woven rattan furnishings and drums doubling up as seats tie the space together – think Moana vibes all around.
As the sun sets, Waka’s beach terrace comes alive with live music, fire dancers and Tiki-inspired cocktails to elevate the evening. A Cuban Duo sets the mood with their soulful sounds, followed by DJ Timo taking over the deck.
The menu at Waka takes you on a culinary cruise. Expect ceviches, seafood salads, and slow-roasted meats, including Roasted Seabass, Char-Grilled Octopus and Sticky Lamb Chops, to grab your tastebuds with flavour. Complimenting these dishes will be the cocktails, featuring the likes of Mai Tai, Margarita, Piña Colada and much more.
Waka promises a culinary journey in Ras Al Khaimah, blending Polynesian flavours with a unique dining atmosphere. So, if you’re craving something fresh, this is the spot you won’t want to miss.
