Qasr Al Sarab Resort and Spa by Anantara

Jess North

Unbelievable resort. I’ve had this on my UAE bucket list for the longest time and it did not disappoint. The service here is second to none. They physically cannot do enough for you and every aspect of your stay is so personable. The room is fantastic and filled with lots of wonderful amenities. The views here are incredible. It’s a real break away from the city. Food was excellent and the breakfast had such a delicious and wide variety of choice. Highly recommend visiting Qasr Al Sarab, it will not disappoint.

Fantastic unique desert resort! “Qasr Al Sarab” was and is for us one of the best places in the world - its quiet location in the middle of the breathtaking desert with amazing views and access to the big dunes is fabulous already, but the luxurious resort itself is great as well - amazing architecture and design, spacious rooms, many wonderful details - and maximum privacy in the exclusive unique private pool villas with excellent butlers. So you can just relax, enjoy the 2 big pools and the SPA treatments, or do various kind of sports and other activities. Besides that various gorgeous restaurants and bars leave no wish open. Great also the sustainability in the resort - no plastic bags or water bottles. And last but not least: We really love the desert and the resort itself, but like always most important are the people, who make the difference… and here Qasr Al Sarab’s entire staff is really amazing - everybody is very kind, attentive and caring. So you feel immediately warmly welcome and are treated not only like a guest, but more than a dear friend or family member. They remember your name and try to fulfill even special wishes to make you happy => big compliments! Therefore we again enjoyed our stay very much and are looking very much forward to coming back soon! PS. Check upfront, if there are any construction works with noise or limitation of areas! And if you want to enjoy the outdoor areas, best time might be from November until March, otherwise it’s very hot and in the summer season some restaurants or other areas are closed. Recommendation: The private pool villas - the ultimate experience!

Definitely an amazing place! What makes it so magical is not only the breathtaking views but also their wonderful staff. Arum made our stay perfect! He helped us with everything we needed and executed all of our requests with no flaws. Arum cares and you can tell how much he’s passionate with his craft! Highly recommend everyone to stay in this resort when visiting Abu Dhabi!

5 stars are not enough for this place. This is one of those spots that takes a special place in our memories. The location is definitely fantastic, probably the best desert spot in the UAE: high dunes, amazing colors, unspoiled nature stretching till the eye can see. The resort architecture is so well integrated in the surrounding landscape, and every detail has been crafted to create the perfect atmosphere. The activity center is super well organized with so many amazing activities to do, one stay will not be enough!!! One special, but really special, mention goes to the entire staff: their professionalism, ability to anticipate every need and their attitude made our stay unforgettable!!!

I you want to know what the word unique means, stay a few days at this hotel. It's located far away from any village or city, in the middle of a super large desert. You will find all the services you get from a 5 stars hotel but in a way and location that are both unique. Swimming in a pool with an open and unobstructed view on the desert is something exceptional. It's not the first five stars hotel i stay in, but it's the most unique.
