About the Hotel

9.5 Average Rating

Al Maha offers a rare blend of tranquility and adventure in the heart of Dubai's desert landscape. Just 45 minutes from the city's bustle, this exclusive resort unfolds across golden dunes, where oryx and gazelles roam freely. The journey to the main building itself sets the tone, with a 5-mile sand road winding through the desert, building anticipation for the oasis ahead. At the core of Al Maha's allure are its 42 private Bedouin-inspired villas. Each is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring a temperature-controlled swimming pool and expansive sun deck with sweeping desert views. Inside, a lavish bedroom flows into a spacious bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub and rain shower. The thoughtful touches - from the Nespresso machine to the carafe of sherry - elevate the experience from memorable to extraordinary. Dining at Al Maha is an event in itself. The Al Diwaan Restaurant offers gourmet meals throughout the day, with the option to dine on a deck overlooking the shimmering dunes. For those seeking ultimate privacy, in-room dining brings the culinary excellence directly to your villa. As the day winds down, the Hajar Terrace Bar provides a perfect vantage point for desert sunsets, complemented by high tea or evening cocktails. Beyond relaxation, the resort offers a curated selection of desert experiences, from falconry displays to dune drives, allowing guests to connect with the unique environment in which Al Maha is so perfectly placed.
