“Al Maha - A Jewel in the Desert”

Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

Having read glowing reviews of Al Maha we came with very high expectations - we were not disappointed. From the warm and friendly welcoming on our arrival to the exceptionally well managed departure, staying at Al Maha was a delight. We have never encountered such friendly and knowledgeable staff - from the housekeeping team through to senior management - we... More

“Sheer Bliss”

Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

Al Maha.... It's not just a luxury hotel with accommodation - it's hospitality at its very best and ALL the staff are brilliant. Having gone there in 2005 we were looking forward to seeing how it had changed and to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary. On arrival, feeling ragged after a night flight as so many of us are, you... More

“Beautiful resort--very peaceful, yet with plenty to do”

Reviewed May 17, 2013 NEW

This was our first visit to Al Maha and I can definitely say it won't be our last--we had an excellent time from the moment we landed at the airport in Dubai when the car service picked us up until we left Al Maha. Our field guide, Gerard, was waiting for us when we arrived and went over everything we... More

Reviewed May 9, 2013

Al Maha Desert Resort was the epitome of an oasis in the deserts of the UAE. The scenic drive through the dunes and the aparition of the individual suites on the side of the dunes as you come around one of the final bends in the road is absolutely spectacular. Then you arrive at the reception and are immediately greeted... More

As all the other reviewers have stated the Al Maha is just wonderful! We stayed for 3 nights in what can only be described as a state of total luxury.

My wife and I have just returned today from our third visit to Al Maha. We went previously in Dec 2009 and Dec 2011.

“Wonderful!”

Al Maha is located just outside of Dubai with the journey taking between 45 mins and an hour depending on where you are traveling to/from. The hotel is located within the nature reserve and this adds to the wonderful experience. Wild deer and the such like are wandering freely around the resort and within the villas. Generally compact, depending upon... More
