We came here for our honeymoon and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. Most of the time you feel like you're the only one there, apart from some staff paying attention to the grounds and your suite. The staff are amazing (recruitment must be a priority at Al Maha). Bishan who met several times while he was working at the bar... More

Set an hour or so outside Dubai this desert oasis can be enjoyed year round. It tends to be a few degrees cooler than the city, chill in the gorgeous panoramic room, enormous bath or the totally private pool (unless the orix decide to spectate) There are lots of activities (camel rides, archery, gym, spa etc) but grab your special...

Wife and I stayed 4 nights en route to Dubia 7's rugby. Absolutely fabulous. Service brilliant whoever handles staff training deserves a medal. Food fantastic. Activiites in particular dune bashing awesome - camel riding is uncomfortable not matter what they say. If you dont mind the walk or golf buggy ride Suite 6 is as remote as it gets and... More

Beautiful bungalows whose architecture fits perfectly into the desert scenery. The room and the bathroom are huge and every bungalow comes with a private pool with complete privacy (except for an oryx or other desert animal which may pass by for a visit, but they are generally harmless!). There was even a pillow menu to ensure perfect comfort. Desert activities... More

We spent 4 nights there in December. This place is just fantastic, from the wonderful rooms, to the perfect attention to details. Nothing is ever too much for the staff, all round the hotel from the restaurant, housekeeping, the outdoor guides etc.... The food was delicious and varied. And the spa just superb. This is the perfect place to get... More

I was fortunate enough on my last visit to Al Maha to be invited to participate in the first ever Al Maha Master Chef competition. If you know Al Maha (or even if you do not!), the food is outrageously fantastic and presented almost so that you just want to look at it...almost! Chef David Miras once again demonstrated his...

We stayed at the Al Maha at the tail-end of our month long wedding/honeymoon. Having married in Sri Lanka at the beginning of November, travelled through Sri Lanka (5 star all the way), then moving onto Mauritius for a week, and finally to Dubai. The hotel was lovely, accommodation very good, and all very clean. The food was SUPERB -... More

This is THE place to stay to unwind from the hectic life in the UAE or indeed anywhere. My wife and I have stayed 5 or 6 times now and whenever we have special friends and family over we take them to experience this most wonderful place. Don't even consider the cost until you have experience the value - it... More

I took my husband for his birthday in April. I can't recommend this place enough. It was supposed to be a surprise and the staff really made sure it was a real surprise. Staff go out of their way to accommodate requests and the service is first class. Food was excellent, some supposedly Michelin Chef's restaurants in Dubai don't come... More
