Guests can sip on a camel's milk shake at The Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi Grand Canal. The luxury resort has an in-house Camel Milk Mixologist who offers up various flavored milk shakes — strawberry, mint and others — to guests.
The delicious service was launched last year to coincide with the with the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Camel's milk is high in protein, so it's a ideal beverage to sip on during Souhour, the meal taken before sunrise for Muslims fasting during Ramadan.
The mixologist will even make recommendations for drink and food pairings, to satisfy guests' unique tastes.

Shangri-La Hotel Qaryat Al Beri Abu Dhabi is perched on a one-kilometre stretch of private beach.
Conde Nast Traveler, purveyor of fine hotel reviews and travel advice, has just released its 2012 edition of the Hot List, a list of hotels that are setting the hotel world aflame with fresh designs and new concepts, or maybe just a solid new look at classic luxury. 41 reporters embedded themselves anonymously in hotels across the globe to review their targets. What results is a list of 121 hotels around the world that are so on fire they should be put on your watch list, just in case they end up burning down.

Not only that, but Viceroy is setting its course for the Indian Ocean, with the hotly anticipated opening of the Viceroy Maldives in December 2011. Located on the idyllic crescent-shaped island of Vagaru in the Shaviyani Atoll, just one hour north of the capital Male, the Viceroy Maldives will feature 61 villas with interiors designed by Yabu Pushelberg, an over-water spa, a complete range of watersport activities and five restaurants.
