Resort on Sir Bani Yas
A curious gazelle sniffs the vases on the porch of Anantara Desert Islands Resort and Spa. And a few paw prints in the sand betray her visit in the morning. Not only gazelles, but also the rare Arabian oryx runs freely over Sir Bani Yas, an island just off the coast of Abu Dhabi.
The Desert Islands Resort is the perfect base to explore this island. Guests are surrounded by nature. But it's definitely not camping here. You will stay in luxury accommodations overlooking the sea or the resort's gardens. The earth tones of the suites are in style with the surroundings: pure nature. The villas are a short distance away, secluded for the ultimate 'on a desert island - feeling'.
Tips & Tops from Anantara Desert Islands Resort and Spa:
- Surrounded by so much beautiful nature, the activities are not confined to the resort. There's plenty to do outside the resort too
- Wildlife hikes or a mountain bike tour, you can't get any closer to nature
- If you want to see every corner of the island, get into a 4WD, preferably early in the morning, when the animals are not yet hiding from the warmth of the day to come
- The resort has its own horse stables, riders can go into nature on horseback. Various routes have been set up across the island
- The island can be reached by plane or water taxi
- There is a choice of five different restaurants, but a dinner for two on the beach is also possible
