Anantara Al Sahel Villa Resort

Located within the celebrated Arabian Wildlife Park on Sir Bani Yas Island, the 5-star Al Sahel Villa Resort is sustainably designed and run, and offers 30 luxury villas with the chance for guests to get uniquely close to nature. The resort shares its island home with over 10,000 free-roaming animals and guests can enjoy guided treks to nearby salt-domed hilltops to discover this destination`s amazing wildlife diversity. Villas are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings of the park by using local tones and materials, and offer guests the opportunity to perhaps spot a grazing gazelle from the comfort of their furnished terrace. They feature traditional wooden furnishings, ceiling beams and local handicrafts, and come with all mod cons, including: a private bathroom with separate bath tub and rain shower; window seats; individual air conditioning; flat-screen TV; free Wi-Fi and a coffee machine. There is a swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and also the Anatara Spa, where guests can relax in the steam rooms or enjoy treatments inspired by ancient Bedouin culture and desert traditions. Guests who want to work out can head to the well-equipped gym staffed by personal trainers, and there are also watersports available, including diving and snorkelling. For dining, the Savannah Grill, specialises in dishes from the African continent and offers plenty of succulent grilled meats, plus there are five other dining choices at sister resorts across the island. A conference centre for up to 550 people completes the facilities.
