A 5-Star Desert Oasis That Will Exceed Your Expectations

Jun 26, 2025 vegasjsp Las Vegas, Nevada

After reading numerous reviews, we already had high expectations upon arriving at Al Maha, however, all of those high expectations were quickly exceeded! And it was all due to the amazingly warm reception, friendliness, professionalism and overall customer service we received from the entire staff. Roshan and the guest experience team went out of their way to help us get the most out of our stay. Carel, Shuan, Alex, Rose, Caleb and the entire activities team ensured we got the most our of our experiences; Archery, Falconry, Horseback Riding, Sunset Camel Ride – all of which were amazing. The entire staff also went out of their way to ensure that our 12 year old son had an amazing time…which he did. The property was amazing. As many reviews mention, gazelles and oryx roam freely. It was so cool to see them wander into your “yard” while you are in your villa/suite. I can’t say enough great things about our time at Al Maha. Just an amazing experience and we look forward to coming back! Read less

Excellent desert resort

Jun 21, 2025 rai4a Tokyo, Japan

We stayed in Al Maha for one night during our 1-week Dubai trip and regretted not staying longer. The resort is just fantastic and the service from the staffs made it even better. Our room/villa was at the far end of the property but we never waited long for the buggy to come. The heated swimming pool was our favorite place to hang out in the room especially during the night as it felt really nice to swim under the night sky in a serene environment. All of the meal we had - including the surprise cake - was great and the daily activities provided by the hotel were enjoyable. We saw many wildlife during our stay but fortunately not many bugs. The property is located quite far from any store/town but it is definitely worth a visit. All in all, a very memorable stay for us. Read less

Paradise!!

Jun 20, 2025 Rebecca M

Wow, just wow! What an amazing resort. We loved every minute we were there from the moment we arrived and were welcomed with a glass of fizz by the lovely Kero to the minute we had to leave. The resort is stunning - so peaceful and we couldn’t get enough of the views. The villas are idyllic - large, comfortable and with beautiful infinity pools. We loved watching the gazelle, oryx and many birds from the pool. The restaurant and food was incredible - food, views and such friendly, attentive staff. The Spa was quiet and we enjoyed a very relaxing massage there. And then there were the activities with the fabulous guides - a special mention to Anais who was so knowledgeable and taught us both about local fauna and flora and archery! But every guide we met was brilliant. Every single member of staff we met during our stay at Al Maha was exceptional, from the security guard who we met on arrival (our driver got lost), our villa’s cleaners, the kind staff who drove us around in buggy’s to save us a very hot walk, the restaurant staff, lovely Bharet at sunset drinks, the shop assistant, office staff, management, spa staff and the guides added to our stay. We were so sorry to leave this paradise and cannot wait to come back. We cannot recommend enough! Read less

The best resort ever

We came back to this mesmerizing resort after previous stunning experiences. This time we added another breathtaking experience strongly recommend ride on high dune bashing; this time our guide was Dushan! There was nothing short experience & excitement in his mindful driving! He is very attentive & knowledgeable, he also took us to see wild camels & share all knowledge about them; not only on time for all adventures that included evening camels' ride Sunset experience he made sure we are not missing any activity & experience. He was our man with all activities we took advantage of. We must recognize the best ever Chef Piotr who shared with us once again his culinary masterpieces out of this world in every aspect(!) from ingredients to presentation experience! Each dish was crafted with labour of love & mouthwatering experience! Those portion are way to big at least for us & we had to ask for smaller one - still big! We would like to recognize few staff members who served us during our staying as follow: Anjul always cheerful & attentive to serve & recommend interesting meal to try as part of menu experience, Athul the Supervisor was greeting us with smile & made sure all was provided to us smoothly; Frankly all staff at Al Maha has beautiful smile! Lorine always provided us before each with fantastic cool facial towel soaked with mint & eucalyptus, so refreshing smell; Cho Cho always made sure that our table was ready & we get mineral water on, very attentive, The F & B manager, Prakash always made sure that all service & each meal is delivered promptly & explained ingredients, he made sure that everything is in order in relaxing atmosphere on thr floor & at our table. We were overwhelmed with such royal treatment experience. We have to plan soon our next visit there! The housekeeping manager, Iliango, is the most senior in this resort & his service was impeccable to make sure that everything in our villa is perfect each & every day. Under his supervision the operation was smooth & nothing short of anything you van ask for. If you ever need any service from his department you can be absolutely sure that is taken care of to the highest level & I mean it !! The manager of operation Irfan is extremely dynamic professional who takes his role extremely serious & makes sure that our stay was nothing short of any experience Al Maha can offer. Enthusiastic energetic professional with impeccable social skills to run such operation. We were extremely impressed with Irfan in every aspect! He was definitely our man. His administration staff was attentive & made sure we are getting meal & activity on time. Winnie always made sure we will nor miss 5:30 am Falcons experience & our favorite owl Oscar encounters! Maria, the store manager has bubbling personality & excellent skills to run this operation & administration one. Very energetic & professional! We were pleased with Maria's service We are so grateful for each staff we interacted during our staying & sincerely apologize for not mentioning their names in this observation. Read less
