About Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa
Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa is secreted amongst 86 square miles of sand dunes and desert plain, with the Hajar Mountain providing a dramatic backdrop. Built in the style of an ancient Bedouin settlement, with the neutral toned 'tents' shading individual suites, this secluded, internationally-awarded hideaway resort is redolent with the history of the region.
Graceful interiors are scattered with regional antiques and artefacts. Each private swimming pool spills out into a never ending vista of dramatic desert and mountain views.
This sanctuary in the sands offers tented style suites featuring Arabian antiques and handcrafted furniture and are themed red for sand, blue for sky or green for oasis. Luxuriate in the sitting area of your Bedouin Suite looking out onto a temperature-controlled swimming pool surrounded by wooden deck, with views of the desert panorama. If you are looking for the most spacious accommodation, then consider one of the Royal Suites with its large lounge and pool or one of the lavish Emirates Suites with its spacious courtyard and quarters for guests' private staff. For our definition of the ultimate luxury stay in the three bedroom Presidential Suite.
