Qasr al Sarab rejoices in a spectacular setting in Rub’al Khali, Abu Dhabi’s Empty Quarter and the largest uninterrupted sand desert in the world. This resort is the embodiment of exquisite Arabian living; resplendent and sumptuous, it is the realisation of a Middle-Eastern oasis.

Infused with all the warmth, richness and splendour of Emirati culture, guests can behold evocative views of rolling desert dunes from either a balcony or terrace, and relaxation in plush, comfortable abodes. Royal Pavilion Villas are a highlight at the resort, and the most prestigious of accommodation types. Paying homage to one of the world’s most ancient and revered cultures, these villas resemble secluded fortress palaces in the midst of a beautiful soaring landscape.

Dining at the resort is diverse and rich, offering dishes curated from all over the globe. Witness a spectacle of cooking at Al Waha, translating into ‘The Oasis’, where live cooking stations present classic dishes from the Middle East along with a host of world favourites. Al Falaj is inherently Arabian, capturing the true essence of Arabic fare; think cold mezzeh, Omani lobster and lamb kofta. Indulge in a symphony of meat dishes at Suhail, accompanied with a wine from the restaurant’s award-winning wine list. Situated by the poolside, Ghadeer is relaxed by day and transformed into a romantic retreat at night, with local and Mediterranean-inflected cuisine. Al Liwan serves delectable treats ranging from Arabian coffee and mint teas to pastries, locally-Liwa dates and even flavoursome shisha.
