In the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, is a Bedouin-style resort of 42 private-pool suites among the dunes, with full-board dining, a spa and desert wildlife and activities.
Al Maha sits deep within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the largest protected area in the country, surrounded by dunes, palm groves and the wildlife of the reserve, with the Hajar Mountains beyond. It is a small, all-suite resort of 42 Bedouin-style villas, each with its own temperature-controlled private infinity pool and handcrafted Arabian interiors, from Bedouin to Royal and Presidential villas. Dining is full-board, centred on the al fresco Al Diwaan with its Arabic and Mediterranean cooking and dune views, plus the Hajar Terrace Bar and private in-villa and dune dining. The Al Maha Spa offers treatments drawing on Middle Eastern and Asian traditions, and days are shaped by the reserve: wildlife drives, camel treks, horse riding, archery, falconry and sundowners in the dunes. It suits couples and families who want an authentic desert escape with privacy and wildlife close at hand.
Dining is full-board and built around the desert. Al Diwaan is the signature restaurant, an al fresco veranda serving a fusion of Arabic and Mediterranean cooking with sweeping dune views.
The Hajar Terrace Bar pours cocktails over the reserve, and meals can also be taken privately in your villa or out in the dunes.
