We added a night at Al Maha to our 4 night stay in UAE, wanting to see the desert without taking a commercial evening in the desert type tour. This stop was an after thought, but it proved to be the highlight of our visit. The only mistake we made was not planning to stay an extra night, which would... More

This is a truly fab hideaway and a place to visit before you die. We had planned to go to Dubai city thereafter to spend a couple of days at the beach but cancelled our trip and decided to stay longer at the AL MAHA - because everything was just so stunning and special. My husband and I are very... More

We visited Al Maha for the second time in 12 months. As with our first visit standards have certainly not dropped. However as the last review stated - "Lost its edge?" - we found on a Thursday night during a corporate event that the staff were pushed beyond any reasonable limits to try and fill the gaps. We can only... More

The Al Maha is one of our favourite destinations and we were so looking forward to it this year. We flew overnight arriving at the resort before 10am. Whilst we appreciate that check in is normally 2pm we had expected that the resort would have taken into account our early arrival, as it was we were told our room was... More

Having had many wonderful trips to Al Maha we thought it about time we penned a few lines. In essence the staff (which includes all the groundsmen, porters, front office, field guides, restaurant staff) are exceptional and all do their utmost to make you feel very special. The grounds are beautifully tended and the flora and fauna is a delight... More

This hotel is to say the least, the most amazing resort I have every gone to in my ENTIRE LIFE. If you've followed me in the past, you know I only like the best and stay at the best. This is by far the best. Just getting to the resort is a hike, but so worth it. It is about... More

When I thought of a having a new idea for proposing, i started browsing and I found out that at AL MAHA RESORT they do a special Dune Dining. I had to contact the reservation where i found a great acknowledgement to my request. The Exc. Chef proposed a special menu and we set the date. The trip was a... More

We booked a Bedouin Suite for our second year anniversary. The bedouin suite has a private pool. The pool is temperature controlled so we didn't feel cold when sipping our champaign in the pool at night. I highly recommend Al Maha Desert Resort as it is worth every penny. We asked for a remote suite as far away as possible... More

We stayed here for 2 days/1night. Had a great time. Staff very attentive. Service impeccable. Villa rooms are to die for. Really good value although the food let's it down slightly as it's not 5* like the resort. I would however go there again as it's a great place to relax. Dune bashing is a must which is included in... More
