Since time immemorial, nomadic Bedouin tribes have traversed the rolling sand dunes of the Arabian Desert. Living off camel’s milk and succulent dates from palm trees in oases, they made their home in elaborate encampments they set up along their way. In keeping with their indigenous lifestyle, Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa established a cluster of luxurious Bedouin-style accommodation offering total privacy and facilities that evoke the spirit of these wanderers of the vast Arabian Desert. Located in a 225-square-kilometre (87-square mile) desert conservation reserve, some 45 minutes from Dubai, the Al Maha resort is an oasis unto itself. Set amongst lush indigenous vegetation, tranquil water features and warming tones of the sand, this thoughtfully designed resort melds seamlessly into the undulating dunes that surround it. Guests can enjoy uninterrupted views of the desert and the mountains in the distance whilst luxuriating in the unique Arabian setting.
Enjoy a massage from the extensive spa list and take in the desert’s breathtaking beauty at the same time.
Palm trees around Al Maha’s suites ensure privacy as well as providing essential shade from the sun.
