Highlights

Full-service spa

Why choose it

Exceptional desert setting inside a large private reserve.

Keep in mind

Long and expensive logistics compared with conventional resorts.
Not beachfront and not a classic all-inclusive resort format.
Limited dining variety compared with larger resorts.
Some high-value experiences, including helicopter flights, cost extra.
