Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort

Deluxe

‘Secluded Desert Luxury’

Deep within the sloping, cascading sand dunes of the Arabian Desert - Anantara Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort blends into the environment with elaborate ease. Asian and Eastern influences are seen throughout the resort; internal spaces are decorated in rich Middle Eastern fabrics and local artefacts, service is immaculate and guest rooms all host spectacular views of the desert valley. Your only neighbour here is the vast dunes of the Liwa District which provide a stunning backdrop for contemplation; spa treatments and desert-based adventures are a must here, and the beautiful pool area offers further chance to unwind in solitude.
