Banyan Tree Desert Spa and Resort, Al Areen

This soon to be opened spa and resort will be the only all-villa private pool resort in the Arabian Gulf and one of the Middle East’s most luxurious hideaways.
The resort boasts 78 luxuriously appointed villas. Each villa, a delectable mix of traditional Arabian and contemporary design, provides a peaceful haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.
With private open-air and jet-pools, oversized infinity bathtubs and sprawling master bedrooms, set amidst beautifully manicured gardens and water features, the villas are the ultimate in desert opulence.
Perfect for the spa connoisseur, the resort boasts the Middle East’s largest spa and hydrotherapy area (10,000 sq. m.), a world first in terms of size, design and treatments. Guests will benefit from the combination of Arabian aromatherapy know-how and the ancient wellness philosophies of the Far East.
The resort offers no fewer than six international restaurants and lounges, providing the diner with a tempting range of possibilities. Taking pride of place is Saffron, the resort’s signature Thai restaurant which floats majestically on a lake.
Banyan Tree Al Areen offers some of the finest conferencing and banqueting facilities in the Middle East, making it the perfect choice for any occasion, from weddings to corporate retreats. All function rooms are beautifully appointed and fully equipped with the latest technology.
