News | Al Maha Desert Resort Dubai joins Starwood’s Luxury Collection

Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa in Dubai has joined Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide’s Luxury Collection portfolio.


The 42-suite resort is renamed Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Dubai, with Emirates Group retaining ownership of the resort and Starwood assuming management of the property.

Designed and built following principles of environmentally sustainable development, Al Maha has been at the forefront of conservation-based hospitality in the Middle East for a decade. The resort was designed to recreate a Bedouin encampment spread across the vast dunes, featuring 42 suites with tented roofs, floor-to-ceiling windows, marbled bathrooms, private deck and pool.
