Qasr Al Sarab Resort in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

Does camel trekking, dune bashing, and archery sound enticing to you? Or perhaps a good tennis match, followed by a dip in the pool and a massage at the spa is more your cup of tea? Or maybe a foodie experience is what you are after – do Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and French cuisine whet your appetite?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then Qasr Al Sarab Resort by Anantara - an exotic desert experience - awaits you. Situated in the heart of the Liwa Desert, a majestic sand desert in Abu Dhabi’s Empty Quarter, Qasr Al Sarab Resort immerses its guests in authenticity and luxury.

The whole resort is adorned in genuine Arabian design from the Reception, Lobby, Royal Pavilion, Library, Restaurants (all below) to the guestroom and suites.

All 206 guestrooms allow you to soak in tranquil desert views from either your balcony or terrace and at the upper end, the villas allow you to “bask in the sun beside your private plunge pool.” Butler service, an al fresco shower experience and well-appointed, Arabian décor welcome each guest. Because they’ve thought of every detail, they even offer you a pillow menu for a good night’s sleep.

I could go on and on about how exquisite Qasr Al Sarab is but I encourage you to explore their website on your own. Or if the opportunity arises, book a stay here. Be one with the desert of U.A.E.
