Discover the extraordinary with Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara’s new adults-only infinity pool


October 17th 2023: Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, the epitome of serinity, is delighted to unveil its latest masterpiece – a 25 meters new adults-only infinity pool.

Scheduled to welcome guests in November, precisely as the cooler season sets in, the infinity pool is the latest development for the resort, as it continues to elevate itself as the most unique and tranquil Arabian escape.

In addition to the breathtaking surroundings and direct sunset views from the pool, an experiential food and beverage menu featuring signature drinks will be served, complemented with lounge music.

Nestled within the vast expanse of the Empty Quarter, the world’s largest uninterrupted sand desert, this new addition will offer guests unparalleled views of the flame-coloured dunes, adding a fresh dimension to the majestic palace’s exceptional collection of the main pool and 53 private pool villas.

Designed to absorb the region’s distinctive custom, the interiors of every suite and villa are inspired by the simple grandeur of an old desert fortress and boast locally hand-crafted furnishings. Guests can immerse themselves in rich carpets and embroidered fabrics which evoke ambient warmth and an inescapable sense of romance.

During every stay, diners can experience a plethora of restaurants across the resort. Cosmopolitan dining against breath-taking natural backdrops can be found at rooftop bar and restaurant, Suhail - a spectacular spot for sundowners and enjoying the finest grills under the stars, while Middle Eastern and international delights await at Al Waha.  

For guests content poolside, Ghadeer offers relaxed dining during the day then transforms into a candlelit retreat with a global menu throughout the evening. Naseem Pool Bar offers relaxed daytime dining, and tea, coffee, whilst fine snacks are served at Al Liwan lobby lounge.

For a traditional Arabic experience amongst the sand dunes of the Liwa Desert, complemented with starry skies, and the flickering light of the bonfire, Al Falaj welcomes guests to a traditional Bedouin setting. The menu features a selection of mezzeh, roasted whole lamb, Arabian mixed grill and Arabic sweets handmade by Qasr Al Sarab’s own Oriental pastry chef. On the other hand, Dining by Design is considered as one of the most romantic and charming experiences, perfect to celebrate a special occasion in the sand dunes.

Located just 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi, and 2 hours 30 minutes from Dubai, Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara transports guests to a remote and timeless oasis, enveloped by the golden embrace of the desert.
