Overview & Highlights

Al Maha Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa is nestled in a verdant palm oasis. Deep within Dubai’s magical dune and desert landscape in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Whilst staying here, visitors can be involved in vital conservation programmes.

Al Maha showcases the heritage and architecture of the Bedouins and also offers a sense of desert adventure. If you have read ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ or other literary works conjuring up romantic images of travel in the desert, this is the place to bring it to life on a trip of a lifetime!

The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve was founded from the discovery of a ‘lost oasis’ buried under the sands – today this oasis has been restored and again provides essential water for the wildlife of Arabia.

The Arabian Oryx & Arabian Gazelles are the star attractions of the reserve. Indigenous wildlife can also be viewed from your private temperature-controlled infinity pool or sun deck seating area of all Villas.

Enjoy two different complimentary desert activities every day as part of your stay here.

There are 42 ultra-private Suites waiting to welcome you, all with handcrafted furniture and authentic Arabian and Bedouin ornaments. Furthermore, they all have their own private pool from which to gaze at the desert wildlife.

For absolute luxury try the spacious Royal Suites, boasting magnificent bathrooms and living rooms, where the floor-to-ceiling windows allow the dramatic views to flood in.

For total seclusion, you can call upon the in-suite dining service. However, for a dining experience you’ll never forget, head for the sophisticated style of the alfresco ‘Al Diwaan’ restaurant. Its breathtaking views of the endless landscape are something that has to be seen to be believed – there really is nothing else like it on Earth. Thereafter enjoy cocktails on the main veranda, wrapped in the dark silence of a brilliant night sky as animals congregate at the nearby floodlit waterhole.
