For travelers seeking unparalleled opulence in true Emirati style, the desert oasis of Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, now offers the chance to stay in complete privacy amid the dunes at the all-new, four-bedroom Sahra Villa and two-bedroom Al Sarab Villa complete with its own private majlis (sitting room).
Located a few minutes’ drive from the resort, in a secluded area offering unobstructed views of the fiery-red dunes of the Empty Quarter, both villas are part of the exclusive villa compound designed to offer utmost privacy and discrete service.
The 5,263-square-foot Sahra Villa is a palatial hideaway furnished in noble hues that can accommodate up to eight adults in its master bedroom and three twin bedrooms, each with its own private terrace. The villa also boasts a private swimming pool with a cabana and sprawling indoor and outdoor living spaces including a magnificent terrace, inviting guests to stretch their eyes across the endless dunes.
