Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Dubai

Al Maha is an incredible place. The villas are private and peaceful, with your own pool and beautiful views of the desert. We really enjoyed the floating breakfast—it was such a nice touch and a great way to start the day. Dinner at the restaurant was also excellent, with great food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff were kind and attentive, and our personal guide made everything smooth from start to finish. The whole resort feels calm and quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We also loved seeing the wildlife around the reserve, especially during sunrise. A truly special place we’d love to return to.

I don’t even know where to start – this was truly a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience for me and my husband. Everything was beyond perfect: the service, the breathtaking desert views, the facilities, the activities, the nature – all 100 out of 100. A special shout out to Meoka (I hope I’m spelling it right), the Japanese staff member who made our stay unforgettable. She was absolutely amazing – kind, professional, and so caring. The same can be said about every other staff member we met, especially in the restaurant. We will definitely be back, and I will recommend everyone to come and experience this magical place for themselves.

Al Maha offers a true luxury experience in the middle of the desert. The setting is stunning, and it was amazing to encounter so many desert animals up close. The programs were well organized, giving us the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. One unexpected moment was spotting a scorpion in the pool, a reminder that you’re right in the heart of nature! Overall, an unforgettable stay and highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique desert escape.

My stay at Al Maha Resort in Dubai was truly exceptional in every way. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning beauty of the property and its private villas. The architecture and design seamlessly blend with the desert landscape, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance and tranquility that sets this resort apart. What impressed me most, however, was that the resort’s breathtaking beauty was perfectly complemented by the outstanding service from every member of the hotel staff. I would especially like to recognize Ariel and the bartender during my stay, both of whom truly went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable. Their attentiveness, kindness, and dedication to service added a wonderful personal touch to my visit—I am sincerely grateful for their efforts. The spa experience, including an excellent massage, was a highlight of my visit. The facilities are world-class, and the treatments left me deeply relaxed and rejuvenated. The culinary offerings at Al Maha are just as memorable—the food is exquisite, and the desert activities are both immersive and perfectly organized. One of my favorite aspects of Al Maha is how quiet and private everything feels. Even at full occupancy, the resort gives you a sense of complete seclusion—at times, it truly feels as though you’re the only guest there, wrapped in the serene embrace of the desert. This ambiance of total privacy makes Al Maha my new favorite place to “get away from it all.”

Describing this place as incredible is an understatement! There are so many amazing hotels and resorts in the UAE, but after a weekend trip to Al Maha, it easily takes the top spot. Everything from the location, the room, the views, the wildlife, the vibe, the food is beautiful. A special shout-out to all the staff. They elevate an already amazing hotel into something more and it was unforgettable experience thanks to them. Extremely friendly, attentive and helpful...it might be the best service I've experienced anywhere we felt so well looked after. I don't often say this about hotels (because they are so many to experience), but we will definitely be going back. 10/10.
