Opened in January 2010, Banyan Tree Al Wadi is in a stunning location in the desert, set against the backdrop of the Hajjar Mountains. Banyan Tree Al Wadi is 20 kilometres outside Ras Al Khaimah city centre, a 45 minute drive from Dubai airport.
Each of the 101 Pool Villas is air conditioned, luxuriously furnished along an Arabian theme and has a private garden, pool and sundeck. The Tented Pool Villas are more Bedouin in style with canopied ceilings and are larger in size.
Despite being in the middle of the desert Banyan Tree Al Wadi is not short of facilities and boasts its own private beach, 20 minutes away from the main resort, where you will find the Beach Club and various water sports. Other facilities include a choice of restaurants, nature reserve, falconry centre where guests can take the first falconry course in the Middle East, Banyan Tree spa with a large hydrotherapy facility and golf course (20 minutes drive). Unlike most desert options you can easily spend a week here.
Please note. As yet not all facilities are functional . The full resort is due to be completed by June 2010.
During your stay in Dubai, a desert safari is an unforgettable and highly recommended experience. Enjoy the thrilling 4WD ride, under the guide of experienced drivers, to the peaks and valleys of the dunes. Watch the sunset over the sand dunes before heading to a campsite in the heart of the desert for a delicious BBQ dinner, whilst being entertained by an enchanting belly dancer. A desert safari can be arranged from any of our featured Dubai hotels. Ask us for prices.
