Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa

Welcome to your very own Aladdin-esque experience. Where the city meets the sand, Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort and Spa is a serene retreat of sand-coloured exteriors and soothing cream-coloured interiors with Bedouin-style touches from red and black carpets to arabesque lanterns. Head to the exceptional spa with its snow caves and outdoor yoga pavilion or simply laze beside the date-lined infinity pool overlooking the golden dunes. Evenings serve up Mediterranean dishes at Bait Al Hanine, Italian cuisine at Terra Secca and sundowners and stargazing at the intimate rooftop bar – and that's not forgetting atmospheric entertainment in the form of fire shows, dance performances and live music at Al Mabeet Desert Camp.
