Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara
United Arab Emirates
Qasr Al Sarab rises among the flame-coloured dunes of the Empty Quarter near Liwa. The desert setting defines this Anantara resort, where terraces and balconies look onto an expanse of sand rather than a city skyline. Accommodation includes rooms, suites and pool villas. Rooms offer garden terraces, balconies or sun terraces, while villas add private plunge pools and sundecks. The Royal Pavilion villas sit apart from the main resort for greater seclusion. Activities bring guests into the surrounding landscape through camel trekking, desert walks, drives, fat biking and archery. Back at the resort, the spa includes a Moroccan hammam, treatment rooms and relaxation spaces, with a separate wellness and meditation centre. Children have their own splash pool and club facilities. For adults, dining under the desert sky gives the landscape another role in the stay, particularly as the dunes change colour towards evening.
