The Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Turns a Desert Mirage Into a Proper Retreat
Not everyone heads to Dubai with mall shopping and indoor skiing on their minds, or if you do, you quickly get tired of it. For this reason, more and more retreats are being built outside of the city, either in lush green environments like the Westin Golf Resort near Abu Dhabi or flat out in the desert, like the soon-to-open Anantara Resort at Qasr Al Sarab.
Due to open on October 25, the Anantara is 90 minutes away from Abu Dhabi and three hours from Dubai in the Liwa Desert, and boasts 206 rooms, although some are flat-out palatial villas with private pools and commanding views over the sand dunes. Face it: if you're coming all the way out here, you're coming to relax and just go between a hammam, a chaise lounge and your hookah all day (and night) long.
As an opening offer, the Anantara is offering a stay four nights, pay for three deal beginning at $350 a night. If you can get some friends together and all are game for a mini-splurge, then we suggest breaking in the 3-bedroom villa for a total of $2,389 a night; assuming you have two people sleeping in each bedroom, that's only $398 per person, and it includes breakfast and the all-important private pool and patio.
Maybe invite us along? We've survived a night in the desert before, and that was without a pool, so we can surely do this.
