Just a fantastic two nights, booked for us as an engagement present. Service was absolutely out of this world. We did the early morning falconry which was sublime, and then spent the rest of the time in the plunge pool in our suite. Genuine perfection. more

Stayed here for two nights in early Sept, (3rd & 4th), after spending 4 nights at The Palace One & Only. This part of the trip was a surprise for me organised by my wonderful partner who i will never be able to thank enough for this amazing experience. How she managed to keep it quiet i will never know... more

Al Maha was idyllic in every way. The rooms, restaurant, spa, resort, décor, food, surroundings, activities & service were top class. The staff were so helpful, polite, obliging & friendly. We loved every moment of our stay & would thoroughly recommend it. An ideal place for couples to relax & have a romantic few days in the desert. more

If you want to enjoy another holiday - don`t go to the al maha! NOTHING will ever come up to expectations having once visited this resort. From the second you arrive - day or night - you are given a wonderful welcome by the hotel manager and introduced to your own ranger for the duration of your stay. You are... more

What superlatives can be used. Simply breathtaking! The resort is one of those rare gems where you get exhilaration and relaxation in one holiday. Set in a nature reserve and home to protected species, the Al Maha is one of the hotels where you would pay the money for the experience. From the morning horse rides and 4x4 dune racing... more

We stayed in suite 11 for 3 nights from 24th June and from the moment we got through the security gate and started our drive to the resort I knew why we had come back to Al Maha. We had lunch when we arrived which was great and then we went to our suite. The view was amazing and the... more

Better than I could ever have imagined. As you drive up to the 'hotel' you realise just how amazing this is. You really are in the middle of the desert!!! We would recommend the falconry - although this is an early start it is worth it, and the sunset camel ride. We chose not to go on the camel but... more

We have been coming regularly to Al Maha when we had a stopover in Dubai always stay at least 3 nights. We like Al Maha because it is a place to relax, enjoy the private swimming pool, the food and the excellent spa. As you can see fom the pictures, we enjoyed also horseback riding in the desert. For those... more

These days, Dubai has a large number of very luxurious hotels & living just down the road in Abu Dhabi, we've been lucky enough to stay at just about all of them. There are other desert hotels in Dubai but Al Maha stands way above the competition. It models itself on the top quality African Safari lodges and the whole... more
