Just because the UAE summer is in full swing doesn’t mean you have to stay indoors. In fact, it’s the ideal time to embrace the quiet and indulge in a luxurious escape that’s worlds away from the bustle of city life. Enter Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, a peaceful desert sanctuary situated just outside Abu Dhabi, offering the perfect balance of culture, comfort, and calm.
Inspired by traditional Bedouin villages, Al Wathba blends rustic charm with refined luxury. Think palm-shaded courtyards, sun-drenched terraces, and endless dunes stretching in every direction. Whether you’re lounging poolside or wandering the tranquil walkways, there’s an unmistakable sense of serenity in the air.

Until 30 September, Al Wathba, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, is offering two exclusive all-inclusive summer packages, each designed to elevate your staycation experience.
The Ultimate All-Inclusive Escape is for those looking to go all out. Enjoy unlimited house beverages at the stunning Al Mesayan rooftop lounge and the Panache Swim-Up Bar, all-day snacks, a fully stocked mini-bar, and a choice of leisure activities, including archery and the FlowRider wave simulator. To top it off, unwind at the Saray Spa, where expert therapists offer everything from massages to hammam rituals.

For something a little more laid-back, the All-Inclusive Desert Retreat provides a full-board dining experience across the resort’s signature restaurants, complete with house beverages during meals and refreshing non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day. Spa access is also included, making it a well-rounded retreat for couples, families, or solo travellers.

So, if you’re looking to trade airport chaos for golden sands and tranquil sunsets, this is your sign. With five-star service, stunning desert views, and curated experiences for every type of traveller, Al Wathba delivers a summer staycation that truly feels like an escape.
