what a wonderful location for a family reunion. Excellent food, perfect sized bungalow with privat pool in the middle of a 240 km2 desert reserve. Anaïs was an amazing and competent field guide showing us around pointing to many animals, only a guid can detect. Thank you.

Perfect stay in a heavenly place with service that goes above and beyond!

We (my 16year old daughter and myself) just returned from a 4-day stay at Al Maha (April). This hotel really is a favorite. The villas are perfect (we had nr 17): enormous bed, comfortable couches, windows letting the amazing view, a huge bathtub and strong shower and the plushest and softest towels we have ever seen. The private pool boasts beautiful views of the desert and the Oryx and the gazelles walk by your pool nibbling from the surrounding bushes that ensure your privacy. Peace and quiet and beautiful scenery wherever you go. We enjoyed the camel ride to see the sunset, the archery, the nature drive and horseback riding. The only thing that surpasses the beauty of this place is the kindness and smile of the people that work here. A warm welcome by Moika on day one; extreme kindness and humor of Michael (thank you for the archery lessons and organizing a room for our daughter to study the day of our departure), the smile of the gentlemen who did our room and above all Prakash and his team at the restaurant. The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the cocktails divine (we especially loved the lemon mint cooler and tropical wave). I will not name a few of his staff as I do not remember everyone's name, but each one brought hospitality and service to the next level. We also loved the fresh scented towels before every meal. Thank you for a perfect stay in a perfect place. We can't wait to be back. Read less

One of the best hotels in the world.

This incredible location is matched only by the superb accommodation and ultra attentive staff. The staff are so friendly, helpful and professional whilst exuding happiness in their role and obvious desire to provide guests with the best possible experience. We cannot wait to return once the climate allows and would rate the Al Maha as one of the best hotels we have had the pleasure to stay in. Many thanks to Whinnie and all the reception team for their welcome and attentiveness. Mr Prakash and his team for the finest F&B beautifully served with attention to detail. I must point out their particular focus on providing guests with a perfect culinary experience. Aniruth, an outstanding mixologist produced an incredible ‘Camel Punch’ cocktail which will last in my memory forever due to not only the taste but the dedication shown to create such a masterpiece. From the management to the Rangers (who gave us an unforgettable falconry experience) this hotel has the dream team who combined to deliver a luxury experience that we can’t wait to repeat.

最高の時間でした

Apr 4, 2025 GrandTour16500888293 Tokyo Prefecture, Japan

アルマハでの滞在は、まさに夢のような体験でした。ラクダに乗って夕陽を眺めに出かけたり、早朝には鷹狩りの講座に参加したりと、非日常の素晴らしい体験が盛りだくさんでした。お部屋のプライベートプールには、野生のガゼルが姿を見せてくれることもあり、大自然の中で過ごす贅沢なひとときに心から癒されました。夕食もとても美味しく、ディナー会場にふらりと現れた猫も愛らしくて、思わず笑顔がこぼれるような最高の時間を過ごせました。温水のプールもとても心地よく、滞在中は常にリラックスできました。そして何より、担当してくださったWinnieさんには本当に良くしていただきました。明るく温かいお人柄で、アニバーサリーのサプライズまでご用意いただき、心に残る素敵な思い出となりました。Winnieさんのおかげで、楽しさも感動も倍増しました。また近いうちに、ぜひ再訪したいと思える特別な場所です。 Our stay at Al Maha was truly a dream come true. From riding camels into the sunset to attending an early morning falconry session, every moment was filled with unforgettable experiences. One of the most magical surprises was seeing wild gazelles appear by our private pool—such a rare and beautiful sight that made us feel completely immersed in nature. The dinner was absolutely delicious, and to our delight, a charming cat appeared at the dinner venue, adding a touch of joy and warmth to the evening. The heated pool was wonderfully relaxing and made our entire stay even more comfortable. Most of all, we are deeply grateful to our wonderful host, Winnie. She was cheerful, kind, and incredibly attentive throughout our stay. Thanks to her thoughtful arrangements, including a lovely anniversary surprise, our experience became even more memorable. Her presence truly doubled our joy. Al Maha has become a place we hope to return to again very soon. Read less

Wonderful place with top notch hospitality

Apr 2, 2025 Simon J

Beautiful place with very friendly staff! We stayed in suite 40 during Eid break, which had a wonderful view of the desert and was very private. Kero made sure that we had a smooth check-in and check-out process, so thank you! Also, we'd like to thank Ryno, who was our activity manager. We did 4 activities with him and every single one of them… Read more
