Desert Islands Resort & Spa is designed to be a one-of-a-kind luxury escape from the everyday, set against a seductive natural island backdrop. As such, we have developed our luxurious enclave to cater to every whim. Explore the grounds of our spacious seaside retreat and discover all the hidden gems we've sprinkled amidst the island landscape to ensure that each day spent with us is as relaxing or fun-filled as you like.
Boutiques
The resort houses two boutique shops, each offering the finest local fabrics and handicrafts, specially designed clothing, and an international array of reading material. From fine local silks to handcrafted jewelry designed by local artisans, as well as other apparel and handicraft items, guests can treat themselves to some of the region's most sought-after collectibles without having to leave the comforts of the resort.
Fitness Centre
Our state-of-the-art fitness centre is open 24 hours, allowing guests to maintain their fitness regimen at their convenience. The main fitness room has an area dedicated to cardiovascular exercise, providing a variety of machines, each in close sight of TV monitors for entertainment. Freeweights and other strength training machines are also available, as well access to a separate yoga/aerobics room. Guests may even use the centre's iPods upon request.
Kids Club
Let the kids watch movies and play games at our Kids Club while you venture to the spa or enjoy a romantic picnic lunch for two. With multiple rooms, the Kids Club features activities for both young children and teens, including a game room with a billiards table, ping pong table, computers with games and learning activities, flatscreen TV with a large selection of movies, reading materials, basketball court and other organized educational, sports and crafts activities – and even a "nap room" for younger children.

Our library includes special guest workstations and comfortable seating with coffee tables for your work or midday snack. Guests can also take advantage of our collection of reading material.
Meeting Rooms
Kick-start an executive retreat at one of our wifi-equipped conference rooms, in which seating can be arranged in boardroom, classroom, theatre or U-shaped style. A wide selection of audiovisual and presentation equipment is available for organizers or conference presenters, including portable LCD screen and DVD player, digital data projector, conference phone cabling and handsets, whiteboards and flipcharts.
Swimming Pool
Just steps away from the sea, our freeform infinity-edge swimming pool on the beach is the centrepiece of our resort's grounds. Families and couples alike gather to soak up the island sun, plunge into the refreshing waters and gaze over the clear waters of the Arabian Gulf. Sipping a refreshing fruit juice elixir from the Pool Bar under an umbrella provides escape from the sun, while individual cabanas give our guests the ultimate in privacy to unwind and laze the day away.
