At a distance of 8 km from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, Khatt Springs is an area of mineral-rich hot pools located at the mountainous village of Khatt in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. It is one of the famous Ras Al Khaimah Tourist Places.

Nestled right next to the Hajar Mountains, Khatt Springs are natural hot pools rich in minerals and the water is noted for its relaxing and therapeutic properties. The water level at the Khatt Springs is 90 feet underground with temperature going up to 40 °C. Due to its mineral content and heat, the water is said to have medicinal benefits for skin ailments, rheumatic diseases, and muscular problems. The waters rise from limestone bedrock. A total of three springs rise at the site, which has been developed to include a spa hotel managed by French operator Golden Tulip and offering a range of treatments.

Surrounded by a lush green oasis, majestic mountains and palm trees, this castle-like resort offers several relaxing facilities such as hot stone treatment, therapeutic hot springs, precious stone treatments, and Ayurvedic treatments. Visitors have full access to this area including the private pools, treatment rooms, and cafes. The healthy waters are a top get-away-from-it-all holiday draw for locals as well as tourists. One can also visit the surrounding area, which features about 170 archaeological sites. Items uncovered in the area by archaeologists include prehistoric tombs and 19th-century mud-brick fortification towers.
