Banyan Tree Opens First Resort in UAE

THIS IS WHERE I NEED TO TAKE MY SELF FOR VALENTINES DAY

The desert resort consists of 101 tented villas designed with inspiration from the area’s Bedouin tribes, each with their own “oasis” – a private full-size pool.

The property has a beach and access to a championship 18-hole golf course. It’s located 12 miles outside the city of Ras Al Khaimah in the northern most Emirate, and 45 minutes from the Dubai International Airport. At the resort, visitors can take part in decidedly Middle-Eastern pastimes: falconry, camel riding, desert drives, or floating the river on traditional “dhow” Arabic sailing vessels.

The 10,000-square-foot Spa Al Wadi features 10 tented treatment pavilions. As with all Banyan Tree resorts, each therapist is trained at the Banyan Tree Spa Academy in Phuket, Thailand. Come March, the spa will offer an almost anti-desert experience in its “Rainforest hydrothermal circuit” – perhaps it’s needed after those desert drives.

  16. Just now seeing this, this place is gorgeous….I mean absolutely breathtaking.

  17. We just got back from our vacation to Phuket and really wish that we didn’t have to leave so soon as we really loved it and will definitely visit once more! We stayed at Siam Inn which we can surely recommend. We rented a scooter at $50 for 7 days, it was by far the most cost effective and a convienent way to go and it was alot of fun too! The National Park is definitely worth while taking a tour. Also eating places in Phuket Island to visit are Thai Food Heaven-romantic, delish and cool. Book a table with your feet in the pool!
