BANYAN TREE AL WADI, RAS AL KHAIMAH – A BLISSFUL DESERT HIDEAWAY!
Amid stretches of desert sand in tranquil Wadi Khadeja, the protected enclave of the evergreen ghaf tree, lies the new exclusive resort Banyan Tree Al Wadi. The Banyan Tree Al Wadi is the first desert resort in the United Arab Emirates to offer an all-pool villa concept, complete with Asian-inspired hydrotherapy spa facilities, a private beach club, and a dedicated nature reserve within the resort grounds, all located a mere 20-minute drive away from an 18-hole championship golf course.
Banyan Tree Al Wadi
This oasis of indulgence offers a contemporary adaptation of traditional Arabic architecture amidst miles of rolling sand dunes, creating a comfortably seamless experience of staying in the desert. A tribute to the heritage of the region – from the tented design inspired by local tribes and nomadic lifestyle, to traditional mud brick buildings – each villa also features elaborate Arabic touches of lattice woodwork, stylised motifs, intricate carvings in Arabesque design and high ceilings. All 101 villas offer a tranquil view of the desert oasis for quiet contemplation, while the external area of each villa features a private pool enveloped by verdant gardens. The Tented Pool Villa also features a dedicated spa treatment room, and an outdoor shower amidst lush surrounds.
