Dog-Friendly Stays at Ramla Bay Resort

Download Welcome Pet Policy

Our Philosophy

At Ramla Bay Resort, we welcome well-behaved dogs as part of the family. Our setting offers space, nature, and calm, making it well suited to responsible pet travel.

Our pet policy is built on trust, consideration, and shared responsibility, ensuring a comfortable stay for pet owners, non-pet guests, and our team. This is a resort environment first, and our approach balances warmth with clear boundaries.

Which Pets Are Welcome

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Ramla Bay Resort. Acceptance is based on temperament, training, and responsible ownership rather than breed alone. All dogs must be in good health, free from parasites, and up to date with standard vaccinations prior to arrival.

All dogs must be pre-booked and confirmed prior to arrival. Dogs arriving without prior confirmation cannot be accommodated.

A maximum of two dogs per room applies. Other domestic pets may be considered on request and approved in advance. Exotic animals are not permitted.

Rooms & Booking

Dogs are accommodated exclusively in designated pet-friendly rooms, which are limited in number and subject to availability at the time of booking.

To ensure the comfort of all guests, dogs are not permitted in any rooms other than those specifically allocated as pet-friendly.

Arrival & Orientation

Pet-friendly rooms are prepared in advance with a discreet welcome setup, including bowls and a resting area.

On arrival, owners receive a short orientation outlining pet-friendly areas and essential guidelines. A copy of the pet policy is provided digitally prior to arrival and is available in-room for reference. Guests must provide a contact number reachable at all times during their stay.

Where Pets May Go

Dogs are welcome in designated indoor and outdoor areas and along approved walking routes across the resort grounds.

For hygiene, safety, and guest comfort, dogs are not permitted in:

  • Indoor or outdoor pool areas
  • Buffet restaurants (a designated annex seating area is available where applicable)
  • Spa, wellness, and fitness facilities
  • Turfed or cultivated green areas.

Service animals are accommodated in accordance with applicable regulations.

Behaviour & Supervision

Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times while on resort grounds and remain under the owner’s control.

Pets should not be left unattended for extended periods. Short absences are acceptable provided the dog remains calm and does not disturb other guests. Persistent barking, signs of distress, or disruptive behaviour will be addressed promptly and discreetly. Owners are asked to be particularly mindful of noise during evening and night-time hours.

Owners are fully responsible for their pets at all times.

Cleanliness & Housekeeping

Owners are expected to clean up after their pets in all areas. Designated waste disposal points are provided.

For safety reasons, housekeeping services pet-friendly rooms only when pets are secured or not present.

All pet-friendly rooms receive enhanced cleaning as part of our standard care.

Damage & Cleaning Deposit

Owners are responsible for any damage or excessive cleaning required as a result of their pet’s stay.

A €100 pre-authorisation will be held on the guest’s card upon arrival as a cleaning and damage deposit. Upon departure, the room will be inspected by housekeeping. If no excessive cleaning or damage is identified, the pre-authorisation will be released automatically.

Charges apply only when genuinely necessary.

Respect for the Resort Environment

Ramla Bay Resort is a shared space. Any aggressive behaviour, repeated disturbance, or disregard for resort guidelines may result in the resort requesting alternative arrangements or, in serious cases, curtailing the stay without obligation.

This measure is rare but essential to protect the experience of all guests.

A Final Word

A successful pet-friendly stay relies on mutual respect. When pets are welcomed thoughtfully and expectations are clear, everyone enjoys the resort as it was intended.
