Al Khaimah Tented Pool Room, Banyan Tree Al Wadi, UAE

This concept resort is located between the Arabian Gulf and the Al Hajjar Mountains, less than and hour’s drive from Dubai. All the luxurious villas have pools and are designed in a traditional Arabic style – the hotel has an Asian-inspired hydrotherapy spa, dedicated nature reserve, private beach club and an 18-hole championship golf course.

We love the Bedouin-esque Al Khaimah Tented Pool Rooms which look out over the endless desert.

Bathrooms are spacious and have floor-to-ceiling windows.
