ANANTARA DESERT ISLANDS RESORT & SPA Luxe

We recently stayed for a couple of nights in this very unique place. Already the journey is an adventure and our child loved it. The island is beautiful and well maintained. We were very warm welcomed by the team and felt like home from the first second. Big thanks to all the teams for making our stay very memorable. The front office team is fantastic, nothing is too much you ask for. Also f&b outlets are great, you should definitely try all different options and travel around the 3 hotels. The Arabic food in the pool restaurant during evenings is outstanding, so tasty. Service overall is fantastic. Also housekeeping team is very attentive and professional. We also did massages in the spa - amazing experience like in all Anantara reports. The resort is great and the pool fantastic for kids, also small ones. The safari is a must and other offers are also great. We felt like in mini Africa with a touch of Arabia and it was super relaxing. Definitely can recommend this for families for a getaway long weekend. What finally made a difference was definitely the staff! Thank you all for making our stay a very memorable one. We shall be back soon.

I booked the resort for my dad's birthday. Everyone was extremely helpful and service oriented. they did everything they could to make his birthday very special from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed. Also the villa that we were upgraded to was fabulous. thank you Anantara Desert Islands team for making this an unforgettable experience for my family and I!

We booked to go later in the year once the weather had cooled a little, however circumstances meant we had to change our date and bring the stay forward. The hotel was super helpful arranging the change, although it did cost more in the end. We took the 12 midday boat and check in was quick and efficient. We relaxed by the pool during the afternoon, the pool are is quite small and I can imagine it might be a bit cramped during busy season. However during the hot season it was lovely and quiet. Staff were attentive and helpful. We had dinner at Olio, lovely food and good service. The wildlife drive was great, we took the 6:30am slot and saw LOTS of animals, including the cheetahs and giraffes very close up.

A truly incredible weekend away. The far travel from Dubai was worth it - great staff, setting and amenities. Loved being secluded as we felt like we were the only people on the whole island at times!
