Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa: The Elegance of Sir Bani Yas' First Resort

The Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa was the first luxury resort to open on Sir Bani Yas Island, serving as the gateway to the majestic Arabian Wildlife Park. Located in a setting of untouched beauty and tranquility in Da‘sah, it combines modern comfort and impeccable service with privileged access to the island's rich wildlife.

Rooms and Suites with Spectacular Nature Views

The rooms, suites, and villas are designed in a style that reflects Arabian culture and offer breathtaking views of the Gulf, the wildlife park, or the lush garden. The interiors are spacious and equipped with all luxury amenities, ensuring a serene refuge after a day of island exploration.

Wide Range of Adventure and Relaxation Activities

The resort excels in offering a wide variety of activities. In addition to the popular 4x4 safaris to spot giraffes, cheetahs, and oryx, guests can engage in diving, snorkeling, archery, or completely relax at the exclusive Anantara Spa, which offers treatments inspired by local traditions.

Culinary Diversity in Evocative Settings

The gastronomic offering is diverse and high-quality, with restaurants like The Palm (international cuisine with sea views) and Amwaj (fresh seafood). Guests can also enjoy a unique dining experience with the Dining by Design option, allowing them to dine in romantic and isolated locations on the island.

A Sanctuary of Luxury and Sustainability

The resort is not only a luxury destination but also a pillar in the island's conservation project. Its location offers the perfect balance between exclusive comfort and a deep respect for the natural environment, allowing guests to feel part of an exceptional sustainability project.
