Al Maha is a pristine desert oasis, uniquely located in the beautiful Arabian desert. It is undeniably one of the most beautiful, unforgettable places on earth. Set within 225sq kilometres of enchanting desert landscape, boasting uninterrupted panoramic views of the Hajar Mountains and their surrounding sand dunes, Al Maha - 'the sanctuary in the sands' - promises an experience like no other. Designed to reflect a Bedouin encampment, within Al Maha you will find yourself at one with nature. What better way to spend the end of a day than to gaze out at rare Arabian oryx or shy gazelles as they make their way across the silent sands? This is their sanctuary - and yours. The finest international chefs ensure guests enjoy the very highest culinary standards, wherever they choose to dine - from the relaxed informality of Al Diwaan restaurant and its alfresco veranda, to the intimacy of a romantic meal on the private deck of a guest suite. On the one hand, the resort offers an elegant lifestyle, your own private pool, fine food and wine, a signature Spa and personalised service, and on the other, even more precious in todays world, a rare sanctuary of pristine beauty, tranquility and peace. Guests staying at Al Maha are entitled to two complimentary on-site activities during their stay. Traditional desert pursuits, such as falconry, camel treks, horse riding and archery, recall a former way of life. For sheer excitement, an outing in a rugged four-wheel drive vehicle cannot be beaten. In contrast, guided nature walks offer a quieter and more informative way to experience the desert.
