How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara: This luxury resort in the United Arab Emirates is a lavish dream nestled off the beaten path, offering a truly exclusive experience for discerning travelers.
The Resort's rooms are impressively decadent. Hardwood floors covered with intricate rugs, rich velvet furniture, Egyptian cotton linens, and elaborate lighting all confirm not a single detail has been overlooked. A variety of lodgings are offered, from pool access rooms to spacious two-bedroom Royal Villas with 24-hour butler service. Each room is flooded with natural light, emphasizing the rich color palate, indigenous fabrics and original Middle Eastern art.
Outside these walls, sun bleached sands and azure pools project a dreamy simplicity. Go for a stroll along the beach or take advantage of a host of island activities. Nature hikes and snorkeling are close at hand, or take a guided tour of the wildlife reserve by four wheel drive vehicles and discover exotic animals, or ride a beautiful Arabian horse at the Sir Bani Yas Stables. Why not pick up a few sensational items in the hotel's own Souk bazaar? Retreat to the comfort of your air conditioned room or refresh with a drink at the pool bar? Then, enjoy local seafood and wine pairings while digging your feet into the sand at your own private candlelit beach side 'dine by design' table.
