Even many of the world’s savviest travellers think of the United Arab Emirates as the land of sand and skyscrapers. But you and Anantara know different.

Retreat to the desert if you please, residing with Anantara in the dramatic beauty of the Empty Quarter. Or trade your desert palace for a water villa on Dubai’s iconic Palm. Base yourself amidst mangroves and travel to downtown Abu Dhabi within minutes. Or choose a villa in a wildlife sanctuary, where gazelle roam free, making visits to your terrace.

Anantara offers you an array of luxury hotels in the UAE to explore from. Pick your pleasure. At each one, local gurus help you carve out your own Arabian adventure.
