Barracuda Beach Resort in Umm Al Quwain at a glance

Where is Barracuda Beach Resort located?

The resort sits on the Khor Al Baida lagoon in Umm Al Quwain, right off the E11 highway that links Dubai and Sharjah with Ras Al Khaimah. Its closest neighbours are Công viên nước Dreamland and the Emirates Motorplex, so it is easy to find from the main road. The calm, shallow waters of Khor Al Beidah around the resort are known for kayaking, mangroves and bird watching.

Làm sao để tới đó

• Từ Dubai: drive north on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) or Emirates Road (E611), then follow the signs for Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah onto the E11. Allow 45 to 60 minutes outside rush hour.
• From Sharjah and Ajman: take the E11 north along the coast. The drive is usually 35 to 45 minutes.
• Bằng taxi: a taxi or ride app works well if you do not drive. Plan your return trip in advance, as cars can be fewer in this area at night.

Rooms and villas at Barracuda Beach Resort

The resort keeps things simple, with low rise rooms and villas set around the pool and the lagoon. Here are the main stay types:

• King Pool View Studio: a compact room facing the pool, good for couples or solo travellers.
• King One Bedroom Family Suite: a separate bedroom and living space for small families.
• King Two Bedroom Family Suite: more room for larger families or friends travelling together.
• Romantic Pool View Suite: a couples suite overlooking the pool, popular for anniversaries and short breaks.
• Superior Waterfront Villa: the most spacious option, facing the water, ideal for longer family stays.

Tip: if a water view matters to you, tell us when you book so we can request a lagoon facing room or villa, subject to availability.

Recent room upgrades

Barracuda is a 3 star resort with 51 rooms, suites and villas. In early 2026 the management said it is rolling out phased upgrades and enhancements to its rooms, so some rooms feel fresher than others. If a refreshed room matters to you, tell us when you book and we will request one, subject to availability.

Facilities and things to do at the resort

• Infinity swimming pool and a waterfront area on the lagoon
• Children’s play zone and family play areas
• BBQ park for evening grills with family and friends (charges may apply)
• Volleyball court and open space for basketball and cricket
• Indoor games room with a pool table
• Fitness centre and wellness facilities
• Free parking and WiFi

The infinity pool is the main place to swim. The lagoon seabed is muddy, so sea swimming is limited, but the waterfront is lovely for views, sunset walks and BBQ evenings. Children should always be supervised around the pool.

Dining at Barracuda Beach Resort

The resort has several outlets, so you do not need to leave for meals. Its venues include Thunder Road, Backwaters, Barako Grill, Hog House and The Original Barracuda, with a mix of grills, casual dining, halal options and a bar lounge, plus room service. Menus and opening hours change by season, so ask about meal plans when you book.

Barracuda is also well known among UAE residents for the licensed liquor store on the complex. Umm Al Quwain allows licensed alcohol sales, but you must be 21 or older, carry ID, and drink only in licensed venues or private spaces, as drinking in public places is not allowed anywhere in the UAE.

Summer stays are often cheaper and quieter, and the pool and Dreamland Aqua Park still make it a fun choice for families. Weekday stays usually cost less than Friday and Saturday nights.
