Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa: Rated by guests as one of the best hotels in United Arab Emirates

The Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is located in a luxuriant palm oasis, deep within Dubai's magical dune and desert landscape. The resort features the heritage and architecture of the Bedouins, while also offering a sense of desert adventure, with matchless of hospitality and  comfort.

The Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is also considered as a part of The Luxury Collection by Starwood Hotels. It also features in the top 10 list of hotel rooms with the best view in the world. When searched in the Google Maps, the resort is nestled in a 45 minute drive from Dubai, in the heart of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. It is embodied with beautiful views of the sand dunes and the indigenous Arabian wildlife, including Oryx and gazelles that can be enjoyed from the main resort facilities as well as the temperature-controlled infinity pool or sun deck seating area of all the villas.

Upon reaching the resort, the clients need to travel 5 kilometers through the desert to reach the main building. This gives them the feeling that they are really going to a remote location. The well-trained staff of the resort will deliver the customers' exact requirements with thoughtful, bespoke and hospitable service.

The Bedouin tent-style suites, that come in 4 categories, the Bedouin, Royal, Emirates and the Presidential suites, are all lavishly decorated with authentic and handcrafted Arabian furnishings, antiques and artifacts. Bulgari bath products are also in the bathroom. All suites come with their own private chilled pools and offer spectacular views of the Arabian Desert. The suites are one of the top 10 hotel rooms with the best view in the world, as reported by The Luxury Travel Expert.

The Timeless Spa offers beauty and relaxation treatments inspired by Middle Eastern & South East Asian traditions. It has private massage rooms for couples, in-suite massage, a private Rasoul chamber, a Hydrotherapy bath, a sauna and steam room including a cold plunge pool, Jacuzzi, swimming pool and a fully equipped fitness center.

Guests can also take a look at the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa official website to  take advantage of the two different complimentary desert activities every day as part of the guests' stay, including wildlife drives, horse riding, nature walks, desert safaris, and camel trekking.

The resort's specialty dishes are also reportedly an experience to savor and remember. The  signature Al Diwaan Organic Fine Dining Restaurant offers alfresco dining on the veranda with breathtaking views of the reserve. The menus are meticulously prepared and executed by the team of multiple award-winning Executive Chef David Miras. Breakfast and Lunch are also served at the Al Diwaan Restaurant.

Meanwhile, many guests label the resort and spa as one of the best, if not the best hotel in the United Arab Emirates. However, they claim that the overall design of the hotel, including the lobby, spa, and other spaces is already showing its age and could use some renovation in certain areas.
