Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Hajar Mountains and beside the waters of the Arabian Gulf, the Banyan Tree is located amid a vast nature reserve, home to local desert wildlife such as Arabian gazelle, camel and oryx, offering guests the opportunity to both interact with and observe these gentle creatures up close.
The first desert resort in the United Arab Emirates to offer an all-pool villa concept, complete with an enormous Asian-inspired hydrotherapy spa, a private beach club and an 18-hole championship golf course. Each of the resort’s 101 luxuriously appointed pool villas, plus 32 at The Beach Club, reflect the rich heritage of the region, complete with the finest furnishings and amenities.
All the adventure guests could ask for is on offer at the Activity Centre, from classes in desert flora and fauna to riding, archery, hiking and trekking, camel safaris and bike trails plus interactions with traditional falcons and indigenous owls at the world-class falconry centre, The Mews.
Children from four years are kept busy in the kids club with an array of exciting, fun and educational activities, such as bedtime stories under the stars and camel milking.
Just 20 minutes away, The Beach Club also offers guests 32 Beachfront Pool Villas, restaurant, bar, spa, sports such as snorkelling, waterskiing, wake-boarding and sailing in the shimmering waters of the Arabian Gulf. Schooner-chartering, fishing and scuba-diving trips can also be organised.
