Now that the weather is perfect for outdoor daycations, we’re turning our attention to unique experiences within Dubai. One such option is Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, which has panoramic views of the Arabian Desert and unmissable glimpses of natural wildlife.

The resort is ideal for spending the day away from the hustle and bustle of the city and connecting with the UAE’s incredible natural landscape. The pool package is perfect for those who wish to unwind and dine on an indulgent three-course meal at Al Diwaan.

You’ll get a full day of access to the Timeless Spa infinity pool, locker & changing room and gym, as well as a signature lunch at the restaurant with soft drinks included. All of this comes at just Dhs300 per person for the day.

If you’re looking to indulge in some ‘me-time’, book in for the spa package which comes with a unique experience at Timeless Spa. You’ll be able to enjoy all of the above, including lunch, as well as a 60-minute treatment for Dhs500 per person.

Or, for those of you searching for a little more adventure on a daycation, there’s the desert activities package. Choose two options from an array of educational and exciting experiences, including horse riding, camel trekking, archery, a dune drive or falconry. You’ll also get pool, gym and locker access plus the three-course lunch for Dhs995.

The art of falconry is something that Al Maha specialises in, offering guests the ultimate opportunity to discover history of falconry and its importance in the Gulf region from one of the expert guides. This is your chance to get up close to these birds, as well as a Thorny Eagle and a Desert Eagle Owl.

Of course if you want to extend your trip into a staycation, that’s even better. Marriott Bonvoy members can enjoy Dhs400 resort credit or Dhs200 for non-members, when booking a full board package before January 2021.
