Reservations are now open for eight new villas at Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa, a retreat by Kerzner International.
Opening on 1 October 2024, the new desert pool villas draw inspiration from the Bedouins and reflect a raw and minimalist aesthetic.
Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa first opened in 2004. This newest addition sees a collection of eight villas available in one- and two-bedroom configurations, catering to couples and families.
Each villa features expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces with private pools, sun loungers, outdoor fireplaces, and spacious living and dining areas. The design of each villa takes advantage of the surrounding desert landscape, framing vistas through expansive windows and private courtyards, ensuring a seamless connection to the outdoors.
Each villa’s circular ceiling features a sky oculus and clerestory windows. Throughout their stay villa guests will have the support of their dedicated personal concierge, who will curate their stay and itinerary to ensure a bespoke luxury experience.
“We’re incredibly excited to unveil the Desert Pool Villas, which truly embody the heart and soul of Bab Al Shams,” said Jacques Le Roux, General Manager of Bab Al Shams.
“Guided by Kerzner International’s vision of curating exceptional places and experiences, these villas are more than just a new addition; they represent our dedication to creating immersive experiences that honour the rich heritage and natural beauty of the Arabian desert,” said Le Roux.
“With the launch of the Villas, we are not only providing our guests with unparalleled privacy and comfort but also inviting them to escape, relax, and reconnect with nature through a curated blend of luxury, adventure, and wellness, whilst enjoying the warm hospitality that Bab Al Shams is known for,” he said.
Guests at the property can engage in a number of experiences including dining at Anwā, taking spa and wellness treatments, breakfast in hot air balloons, horse-riding, camelback trekking, falconry, nature tours and other nomadic desert excursions to become immersed in Arabian history and culture.
Bab Al Shams is located a 45-minute drive from Downtown Dubai.
The property is part of Rare Finds within the Kerzner International stable, which also includes One&Only, Atlantis and Siro in its portfolio of brands.
