JUMEIRAH Group has opened a luxury desert resort in Abu Dhabi.

Jumeirah Al Wathba Desert Resort & Spa draws inspiration from a historic desert village. The property sprawls over 22,000-sq-m of tranquil desert and comprises a destination spa, villas with private pools, Arabian-style rooms, a 1000-sq-m pool, six restaurants and bars including Al Mabeet, a desert dining experience which captures the spirit of the past.

Adventure seekers can enjoy fat biking through the dunes, desert treks, falcon shows every evening, archery and destination dining experiences.

“This is the ideal hideaway for couples and families seeking a tranquil escape,” said Axel Jarosch, general manager, Jumeirah Al Wathba Desert Resort & Spa.

“Embedded deep into the breathtaking backdrop of panoramic desert views, the resort offers a welcoming and alluring experience, resulting in a relaxing and invigorating escape. The resort is designed to draw people together yet provide the freedom to be lost.”
