Overnight in the Desert: The Best Desert Hotels in the World
| July 21, 2017
Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa – Dubai, UAE
Nestled into the middle of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve is the Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa. The architecture of the hotel is inspired by Bedouin tents, so all of the suites are airy and the high-ceilings are masterpieces of design.
Even though it’s in the middle of the desert, it’s a mere 50-minute drive from downtown Dubai, making it the perfect destination for a quick getaway from the city. If your skin is feeling parched, or if you’re just in need of a little relaxation, head to the Timeless Spa for some pampering. Suites range in price from $790 (for more basic accommodations) to $3,400 per night (for the three-bedroom Presidential Suite).
