Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa

Set in miles of captivating desert landscape, with panoramic views of the Hajar Mountains, the Al Maha Resort & Spa is one of the most unforgettable places on earth. Blending harmoniously with its serene natural setting, the resort offers complete escapism and it’s hard to believe the bustling city of Dubai is just 45 minutes away.

Relax and enjoy the magical sights and sounds from the privacy of your fabulously intimate Bedouin suite. Dedicated to luxury with handcrafted furnishings and antiques, each suite benefits from its own private swimming pool. Royal suites have an additional bedroom and larger pool.

Indulge in a world-class sanctuary of health and well-being at the Timeless Spa, surrounded by indigenous flora and cascading water features; explore the desert by camel or on horseback; or for sheer excitement, a dune safari in a four-wheel-drive. Dining lives up to every expectation with a variety of enticing dishes cooked by internationally acclaimed master chefs.

Prices start from £1399 per person for four nights in a bedouin suite, full board, private transfers and international flights with Virgin Atlantic.
