Anantara Qasr Al Sarab, a luxury resort in Abu Dhabi nestled within the dunes of the desert in Empty Quarter, said to be world’s largest uninterrupted sand desert, is keen to attract Indian travellers with its luxurious offerings.
In a press statement, the hotel says that it presents a unique blend of Arabian heritage and desert calm, promising an ultimate luxury experience for discerning Indian travellers.
The fortress-like palace hotel was opened in November 2009, located 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi and set in an area steeped in tradition and bursting with legacy.
The statement adds that the 207-key Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort is designed to present traditional Arabian and Bedouin traditions for visitors to experience the fabled desert.
The hotel adds that the resort’s rooms, suites and villas are inspired by the simple grandeur of an old desert fortress and boast locally handcrafted furnishings. Rich carpets and embroidered fabrics evoke ambient warmth and an inescapable sense of romance.
The statement goes on to say that each of the rooms at the property offers picturesque desert views and are decorated to reflect the Arabian heritage of the resort’s location, with earthy hues, beautiful Middle Eastern fabrics and bronze chandeliers.
Each of the new four-bedroom Sahra Villa and two-bedroom Al Sarab Villa has its own private Majlis, or a sitting room.
The 865 sqm villa is furnished in noble hues and can accommodate up to eight adults in its master bedroom and three twin bedrooms, each with a private terrace.
The villa also boasts a private swimming pool with a cabana and sprawling indoor and outdoor living spaces, including a terrace.
The resort offers unique desert activities from the extensive list of experiences available for guests to explore the rugged beauty of the Rub’ al Khali, including traversing undulating landscapes atop a camel, following in the Bedouin footsteps with a hike in the dunes, or rolling on the towering sand hills with a thrilling Dune Bashing session, or a scenic Polaris ride for the ultimate desert exploration.
The statement adds that during the cooler months of the year between October and April, visitors can experience Al Falaj, a Bedouin-style restaurant with a menu that combines the best of Asian spices with vibrant colours of Iran and home comforts of the Middle Eastern cuisine.
