Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort – Dubai

Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, offers an ultra-luxury escape from Dubai—tucked deep into the sandy heart of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, a protected 225 km² ecosystem just 45–60 minutes from city center.

🌵 Setting & Atmosphere

• True desert immersion: Low‑density, Bedouin‑style suites interspersed among rolling dunes and palm groves, with free-roaming Arabian oryx and gazelles meandering through—serene, spectacular, and strictly shielded from the glitz of city life.

• Design inspired by tradition: Architecture echoes ancient Bedouin encampments, with terracotta roofs, arched doorways, wood carvings, and richly layered interiors featuring antiquities, tapestries, and local artistry.

🏡 Accommodation

• 42 private villas in four categories—Bedouin, Royal, Emirates, and Presidential—each with its temperature-controlled plunge pool, teak deck, super-king bed, and lavish bathroom (deep tubs, rain showers, Bulgari amenities).

• Suites are thoughtfully fitted with binoculars, easels, Nespresso machines, sherry decanters, and cozy lounges—designed to soothe both mind and senses.

🍽️ Dining & Drinks

• Al Diwaan Restaurant: Set on a desert‑view veranda, blending Arabic‑Mediterranean menus across breakfast, lunch, and dinner; from indulgent buffets to refined 5‑course meals.

• Hajar Terrace Bar: Ideal for sunset cocktails or high tea, with sweeping dune vistas and an intimate ambiance.

• Dune & in‑villa dining: Choose from romantic torch-lit dinners among the dunes, alfresco deck meals, or private in-suite service—all arranged with personal flair.

• Desert drives (4×4 safaris)
