From the moment you check in to the moment you leave, the experience is like no other on this 6 Star secluded luxury desert resort.

We really wanted to experience a desert resort and The Ritz Carlton exceeded all our expectations.

The villa was stunning with a view of the desert for evening sunsets from the pool. You could not be disappointed with the size, there was times I thought my husband had gone missing! (Or maybe it was selective hearing !)

First night we dined in The Farmhouse and food and service were fabulous, my only qualm was the lighting could have been dimmed in the restaurant.

Next day we headed off to breakfast on our bicycles and then cycled around the resort, to then visit the stables and say hi to the beautiful horses, camels, Falcons and owls!

This enticed us to book in a morning desert horse ride, which I couldn t recommend highly enough, although you are riding Arabian race horses so best make sure you are an experienced rider. The view at the top was sensational!

We also experienced The Rainforest in the spa, this was a wonderful 1 hour of relaxation at our own pace, a series of showers & saunas to then spend time in the Vitality Pool!

We received a wonderful surprise for my 40th Birthday, where the lovely host Aquino organised to pick us up in a buggy and take us for photos around the resort, including the top of the tower and presented me with a birthday cake and wine to celebrate. It was so beautiful!! We were then dropped off to our room to enjoy the sunset, whilst Aquino edited our photos and created a wonderful video of all the moments he captured of my hubby and me for my birthday, it was a very special treat and we are so grateful to have this memento of our trip!

For anyone wanting to experience the desert in luxurious style, this is the place for you! I can not recommend it highly enough!
