WORLD TRAVELLER X DESERT ISLANDS RESORT & SPA BY ANANTARA<br />
Tucked away inside the nature reserve of Sir<br />
Bani Yas island, Desert Islands Resort &<br />
Spa by Anantara lures the most discerning<br />
travellers with its rugged beauty, thriving wildlife<br />
and Emirati-style splendour.<br />
Just a two-hour drive from Abu Dhabi, this<br />
family-oriented retreat is part of the three luxurious<br />
Anantara resorts that grace Sir Bani Yas island – the<br />
others being the tranquil beach getaway of Anantara<br />
Al Yamm Villa Resort, and the Arabian adventure<br />
inspired Anantara Al Sahel Villa Resort.<br />
Sink into plush bedding that envelops you in soft<br />
Egyptian cotton, wake up to stunning sea views,<br />
and cool off under the stylish rain showers. Floorto-ceiling<br />
glass doors allow natural light to cast your<br />
room in a soft glow and open up to a private balcony,<br />
where you can spend the day lounging with a good<br />
book. The Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara<br />
recently introduced its all-inclusive discovery<br />
package, which invites guests to unwind in one of<br />
the opulent rooms, suites or villas. Meals and drinks<br />
are included, as well as your choice of one activity per<br />
night stayed.<br />
For a delectable meal, Amwaj restaurant draws<br />
upon the island’s sea riches to create scrumptious<br />
seafood dishes that will make your taste buds<br />
tingle. Here, you’ll enjoy the flavours of the ocean<br />
in more ways than one, with its fresh-out-of-theocean<br />
plates and stellar setting overlooking the sea.<br />
Meanwhile, Al Shams Restaurant & Bar serves up<br />
Arabic favourites straight to your poolside lounger.<br />
It’s so good you’ll want to take the flavours with you<br />
back home and with Spice Spoons, you can. The<br />
step-by-step class offers you a peek into authentic<br />
Arabian cooking techniques so you can whip up<br />
local delights in the comfort of your own home.<br />
When you tire of lazing under the sun, hop in<br />
one of the safari Jeeps and set off on an exciting<br />
adventure as you encounter rare, free-roaming and<br />
exotic wildlife in the island’s reserve, including the<br />
prized Arabian oryx.<br />
The Arabian Gulf’s sparkling waters will<br />
eventually beckon you to discover its stunning reef,<br />
while the magnetic charm of an Arabian stallion<br />
promises an unforgettable and liberating gallop<br />
through the desert’s sandy golden dunes. History<br />
buffs can also join an archaeological site tour to<br />
marvel at the uncovered remains of the UAE's only<br />
discovered Christian monastery.<br />
Revive yourself with the resort’s signature spa<br />
treatment; the Desert Islands Retreat. A gentle<br />
full-body exfoliation with desert sands followed by<br />
a 90-minute desert fusion massage is the perfect<br />
ending to this action-packed retreat.<br />
Stay amid natural beauty<br />
Dive in and discover<br />
a world of wonders<br />
Unwind and enjoy<br />
the gorgeous vistas<br />
