ABU DHABI / GULF TIME
This Eid Al Adha, discover a side of summer shaped by sweeping desert horizons, stillness and extraordinary beauty at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, where the vast majesty of the Empty Quarter sets the scene for a seasonal escape unlike anywhere else in the region.
Here, days begin with sunrise over rolling dunes and unfold at a gentler pace, from camel trekking across amber sands and archery, to cooling swims, long leisurely lunches and deeply restorative spa rituals inspired by ancient Arabian wellness traditions.
As evening falls, lantern-lit terraces, desert breezes and star-filled skies transform the landscape into something quietly magical.
For families seeking adventure, couples craving seclusion or travellers simply longing to switch off and reset, Qasr Al Sarab’s summer escapes offer an unforgettable way to celebrate Eid.
Dune Oasis Escape
Designed for families and couples seeking a slower, more restorative summer escape, the Dune Oasis Escape pairs the beauty of the Empty Quarter with thoughtful touches that elevate every stay. Guests can settle into elegant rooms and suites overlooking sweeping desert vistas, begin each morning with breakfast at leisure, and enjoy added privileges including children under 12 staying and dining with compliments, 20% savings across dining and spa experiences, and a complimentary room upgrade to the next category, subject to availability.
Flexible 24-hour check-in and check-out further allows guests to embrace the rhythm of the desert at their own pace, while resort credit on selected room categories booked directly offers even more opportunity to shape a stay around exceptional dining, restorative wellness or unforgettable desert adventures.
Dune Villa Escape
For those drawn to greater privacy and a heightened sense of indulgence, the Dune Villa Escape offers a more secluded way to experience Qasr Al Sarab. Set within the resort’s private pool villas, each stay is shaped by uninterrupted dune views, cooling dips in the own pool at sunrise, and personalised touches curated by a dedicated Villa Host. Daily breakfast, 20% savings on dining and spa experiences, complimentary stays and dining for children under 12, and flexible 24-hour check-in and check-out come together to create a stay that feels both effortless and deeply considered, while selected villa categories unlock additional exclusive privileges designed to make every desert escape all the more memorable.
Whether choosing the Dune Oasis Escape or the more secluded Dune Villa Escape, guests can enjoy these thoughtfully curated summer stays over Eid Al Adha and through to the end of August.
