AL WATHBA DESERT RESORT & SPA

Travel Like An Insider:

Al Wathba Desert Resort & Spa

Our spring/summer adventure continues at the serene Al Wathba Resort in Dubai – a secluded oasis deep between golden dunes. Rich in Arabian culture and timeless luxury, this is the place where tranquillity and restoration meet curated indulgence, away from the city’s bustle.

Centred within the sweeping desert landscapes and sculptural dunes, Al Wathba is far from just a destination – it’s a sensorial escape. Think hammam rituals under the stars, camel rides at golden hour, and stillness that redefines the meaning of relaxation. From luxury spa treatments inspired by ancient Bedouin rituals to indulgent dining experiences that blend Middle Eastern flavours with contemporary finesse, this resort feels special, secret and exclusive.

Notes from our insiders? Stay in a desert-facing suite and reserve a spot at the Saray Spa just before sunset. Also, don’t miss out on the resort’s signature rose-infused tea that’s best enjoyed poolside amongst the desert’s warm breeze.

THE ATMOSPHERE

Al Wathba delivers an intimate blend of wellness and glamour. Immerse yourself in the resort’s terracotta-toned walkways and prepare to be enveloped by delicate desert winds, flickering lanterns, and a sense of calm that lingers long after you leave. The vibe? Think natural-toned linens, dinners amongst the stars, and sunrise yoga set against an untouched horizon. This is a space curated for modern escapists, so whether you’re wearing a flowing kaftan, maxi dress, or a linen co-ord, you’ll feel part of their effortlessly cinematic story.

AL WATHBA FALCON SHOW

DESERT EXPERIENCES

The dunes are yours. From private horseback riding sessions on golden trails to exhilarating desert drives, Al Wathba offers a selection of curated adventures. For something more grounded, take up the resort’s falconry show or walk across the dunes at dawn for a slow and mindful experience. Our insiders recommend taking the Desert Discovery Tour, where you can witness authentic Arabian hospitality as you sip on tea or coffee amongst the sunset, watching the constellations come to life in the silence of the desert sky.

SARAY SPA

WELLNESS & SPA

This is where rejuvenation is taken to a new level. The award-winning Saray Spa is carved into Al Wathba’s landscape, delivering deeply restorative experiences that are rooted within Emirati wellness traditions. Their signature treatments include desert rose body scrubs, mineral-rich mud wraps, and candlelit hammam rituals that are designed to reset your body and mind. For a tempting moment of complete stillness, go to the spa’s open-air plunge pool and see the dunes shift colour as the sun begins to set.

BAIT AL HANINE

WHERE TO EAT

Dining at Al Wathba is like being sent on a culinary journey that is refined by global flavours and Arabian roots. From fine-dining sophistication at the Bait Al Hanine, best known for its elevated Levantine dishes, to the relaxed charm of Al Mabeet, a desert-dining experience set within a traditional Bedouin-inspired tent, every meal is steeped in flavour and soul. Be sure not to miss the house-made za’atar flatbreads, charcoal-grilled seafood dishes, and their signature mocktails that are infused with local herbs.

AL MESAYAN

SOMETHING TO SIP ON

As the twilight hours sink over the dunes, the Asian-fusion of Al Mesayan transforms into an intimate, low-lit hideaway. Sip on signature cocktails while the desert’s breeze sets the tone and rhythm for the evening. With a soft ambience surrounding you featuring flickering lanterns and sunset views that could stretch forever, the golden hour here feels infinite.
Want to know our last insider’s pick? The Desert Bloom – a floral-forward mocktail that’s served over hand-carved ice and can be found at the Poolside Bar. Trust us, it’s as photogenic and refreshing as it sounds.
