Banyan Tree Al Wadi
Amid stretches of desert sand in tranquil Wadi Khadeja, an oasis of peace awaits at Banyan Tree Al Wadi. A sanctuary surrounded by the evergreen ghaf tree, it is the first desert resort in the United Arab Emirates to offer all-pool villas.
The elegant fortress-like façade of Banyan Tree Al Wadi holds true to traditional Arabic architecture, blending harmoniously with the rolling desert dunes. Consisting of 101 pool-villas, the tented pool-villas emulate the nomadic tent style of Bedouin tribes, while the deluxe pool-villas depict the traditional mud brick architecture of Ras Al Khaimah.
Calm your mind and draw in the peacefulness of your surroundings. Enter the peaceful sanctuary of Banyan Tree Spa Al Wadi. Amidst the sensual Asian floral scents, unwind your body as you discover your inner harmony with the range of soothing therapies.
Banyan Tree Al Wadi offers exciting experiences that are simply unmatched. From the Rainforest spa experience to the world-class falconry mews, horse and camel stables, this destination offers the best of the Emirates. Enjoy pure romance and relaxation at the private beach club or tee off at Al Hamra with its 9- and 18-hole golf courses.
An Arabian wildlife experience awaits within the nature reserve, home to local desert fauna such as Arabian gazelles, camels and oryxes, offering guests a unique opportunity to interact with and observe these gentle creatures up close.
