An oasis of serenity amidst the golden sands, Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa is set to launch a collection of highly-anticipated Desert Pool Villas. Opening on October 1, 2024, the Villas continue the cathartic narration that seamlessly blends natural surroundings and modern luxury hospitality in the heart of the desert.
Drawing inspiration from the Bedouins, the Desert Pool Villas have been thoughtfully designed as ‘Sands of Serenity’, embodying a raw and minimalist aesthetic. This contemporary addition perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Bab Al Shams, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the peaceful embrace of nature, where tranquillity reigns and the allure of the desert is celebrated in its purest form.
The collection includes eight villas, available in one- and two-bedroom configurations, offering unparalleled privacy, catering to couples and families seeking an exclusive getaway. Each villa features expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces with private pools, sun loungers, outdoor fireplaces, spacious living, and dining areas. Every detail has been carefully designed to highlight the free-flowing desert landscape through expansive windows that frame the horizon and private courtyards that ensure a seamless connection to the outdoors. Every villa’s circular ceiling, featuring a sky oculus and clerestory windows, invites natural light into every corner, which shifts beautifully throughout the day as it is illuminated by the sun and the moon. 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. 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. 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.” says Jacques Le Roux, General Manager of Bab Al Shams.
To further elevate the experience, guests can indulge in a variety of inimitable adventures and encounters. From tantalising their senses with the finest of Oriental flavours at Anwā to surrendering to the holistic wellness treatments that rejuvenate the soul at the spa. For those seeking adventure, the resort’s range of thrilling nomadic desert experiences will uncover the fascinating Arabian history hidden beneath the glittering dunes. When combined with the renowned hospitality of Kerzner International, these experiences promise to leave guests with unforgettable memories, capturing the essence of the desert in all its beauty and mystery.
