Found in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, set against the backdrop of a beautiful desert landscape, the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is a luxurious and exclusive oasis, providing truly excellent service. Less than an hour's drive from Dubai, it is a world away from the fast pace and bright lights of the city. The reserve on which the hotel is set is home to a variety of wildlife, including gazelles and the Arabian Oryx.
The suites at Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa are all spacious, boasting natural stone exteriors and showcasing the heritage of Arabia. Dining is a lavish affair with an award-winning chef creating eastern and western flavors and memories to savor. In addition to taking meals within the resort's restaurant, there is also deck and in-suite dining as well as unique 'dune dining'. You can enjoy a variety of treatments at the Timeless Spa, with a team of specially trained therapists on hand. As part of a stay at the Al Maha Desert Resort, you can enjoy up to 2 complimentary activities each day, such as falconry, archery, wildlife drives, camel treks or nature walks. Horse riding and dune driving are available for a small supplement.

Al Maha resort was absolutely wonderful. We had a Bedouin suite, which was lovely and spacious. You have your own plunge pool and outside decking area with a table and chairs and 2 loungers. There are different locations of these suites as they are very spread out over the property. Some locations …
Al Maha was likely the most surprising part of the trip, in an amazing way. We had no idea how beautiful the resort and the desert would be, and the resort provided a great transition from the Maldives to Dubai.
