The Whole Story

The Desert Palm Retreat may sound like the setting for the next Jackie Collins novel however, this fantastic oasis hideaway, located 20 minutes from the city, is the real deal.

From top floor suites overlooking perfectly manicured lawns to stylish villas that come complete with pool, all comforts and luxuries have been well and truly taken care of.

If you can’t bear to leave the sanctity of your room (and who could blame you) then a private dining service enables you to experience delicious cuisine in a more intimate setting. Although, once you check out the elegant décor of the resort’s restaurants, you may be persuaded to change your mind.

Wandering around the grounds of this idyllic estate will bring you face to face with not only the best polo players on the international circuit but some of the finest horses too and chances to visit the stables, riding school and playing fields, are a must for lovers of all things equestrian.

This is a sublime location for the whole family and with cooking lessons, wine tasting and bird watching options aplenty, you’re bound to find the perfect activity to suit your pace.

Further afield you’ll discover the sand dunes and beaches of the Arabian Gulf and opportunities to go on a desert safari by 4 x 4, hot-air balloon and even a micro-light have to be experienced to be believed. 

Although this resort is away from the bright lights of the city you can rest assured that from daily spa treatments to cocktails at sun down, you’ll want to keep it that way.


 


Please note: Riding lessons are locally charged.
