Qasr Al Sarab Resort and Spa by Anantara

We have stayed at a number of Anantara properties around the world and this is easily the best. Amazing service from EVERYONE, Amazing location and great f&b options. And not extortionate with pricing!! From the time we arrived to the time we left all the staff were amazing. Particular shout outs for Shifa and Jeremiah on arrival and Thiago in the steak restaurant who really looked after us. And the wonderful lady from Myanmar (Kiki) at breakfast! But everyone (gardeners, cleaners, porters, everyone!!) was great. Very well trained to always ask great questions and make guests feel welcome and at home. Amazing infinity pool and some great excursion options (camel ride, night hike up the dune, etc). If you get an chance to come here you MUST!

An unforgettable stay at Anantara Qasr Al Sarab. The resort is absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere is truly magical. All the staff were amazing, friendly, and highly professional, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, we arrived late due to getting lost on the way to the resort, and since we had only booked one night, we couldn’t fully enjoy the beauty of the desert as we had hoped. However, this has only made us more certain that we will return for a longer stay. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience.

Poor service almost ruined our beautiful staycation. We were 2 families who checked in for 2 nights. We took the half-board option and went for dinner at their Ghadeer Restaurant near the pool. We felt far from welcome at the restaurant. We wanted a table set up for 6 nearby the pool. Most tables were empty as we came in at around 9pm for dinner. Even then, the staff (especially 2) were least bothered and looked annoyed about us wanting to join and make a table at a particular spot. After several reminders (we were ignored and not attended to for about 10 minutes) they finally bothered to arrange the tables. Service was poor and this somewhat ruined our mood for the remaining period of our stay. We did address this issue to the restaurant manager Ms. Vardha who did her best to make our dinner a better experience but we were definitely bothered by the earlier experience. Food was amazing. Good portions and desserts were great. We also addressed these issues to Mr. Manish the next day. And he took his best efforts to ensure that we would not face any issues for the remaining part of our stay. The breakfast was great. The spread and service was great. There's an outdoor option as well. The rooms are very good and clean. The only problem we had was ... No power sockets near the bed. I would recommend everyone to have dinner at the Al Falaj desert restaurant for a memorable dinner (if the weather is pleasant). Great ambience and food. Even at checkout there was an issue. I was told there was a pending amount to be paid. I was confused because it was a fully paid booking from the Anantara website directly. I paid the 'balance amount' then but when I contacted reservations by email, I got a reply saying it was a mistake and it would be refunded. All these mistakes did not look good and it looks like there is a mismanagement issue at several levels. Special thanks to Mr. Omnath (stargazing spot drive) and Mr. Dame (great photo at the main gate after our checkout) from the buggy team.

This might be the most extraordinarily located hotel I’ve ever visited. Absolutely stunning. It’s located in the middle of nowhere in the desert and seamlessly integrated into the environment. The interior design and architecture are authentic and impeccable throughout. I recommend everyone try this experienc!

Qasr Al Sarab is truly one of the most beautiful and memorable resorts we have ever experienced. The setting in the heart of the Empty Quarter is breathtaking — endless dunes, stunning views, and a sense of peace and scale that is hard to put into words. The resort itself is impeccably designed and maintained, blending luxury seamlessly with the surrounding desert landscape. Every view feels cinematic, whether at sunrise, sunset, or under the night sky. What truly elevates the experience is the staff. The team is exceptionally attentive, warm, and thoughtful, always anticipating needs and ensuring comfort without ever being intrusive. Their care and hospitality made our stay feel genuinely special. The food was fabulous throughout our stay — beautifully prepared, high quality, and consistently excellent across meals and venues. From the accommodations to the excursions and overall service, everything exceeded expectations. Qasr Al Sarab is a remarkable destination, and we would absolutely love to return.
