Just 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi, this magnificent desert resort is set within the famed Liwa Desert and is a luxurious escape steeped in the Empty Quarter’s intriguing traditions. There are sweeping desert views from the beautiful rooms, suites and villas. Interiors of warm, earthy hues are accented by locally hand-crafted furnishings. 

Visitors can savour authentic culinary journeys at Al Waha, where the richness of indigenous culture is expressed in theme nights featuring local performance artists. Or they can choose to sit back and relax in cosy armchairs at Suhail, dining on fresh seafood and grilled specialities in the tranquil atmosphere of this rooftop restaurant. 

Guests can cool down with icy treats at the poolside bar, and enjoy an afternoon ritual of authentic Arabian coffee and pastries at Al Liwan, or they can unwind in Ghadeer with a refreshing drink and dine by the pool during the day. By night, they can lounge around enjoying shisha and a menu of Mediterranean signature dishes. 


The Dining by Design option gives visitors a one-of-a-kind dining experience amidst the golden sand dunes as they are served by private butlers whilst watching a romantic sunset. There’s also a range of excursions that reflect the region’s ancient cultural traditions including early morning desert walks, falconry, camel treks, archery or mountain biking through scenic routes.
