Telal Resort

Telal Resort Al Ain is a luxury boutique resort in the heart of a natural Arabian oasis in the vast landscape of the Remah Desert. Among the ever-changing dunes that serve as the resort’s serene backdrop, you will find some of the region’s rarest species of antelope including the Domani, Reem and Arabian Oryx. Similarly, birds such as Houbara, the mute, swan, ducks, and the Canadian goose can be spotted. Accommodation is in 7 Heritage Rooms, 3 Heritage Suites and 14 tented style private villas, each individually styled with a private pool. In the Heritage Rooms, stone tiled floors, plaster walls and palm weave covered ceilings set the scene for the intricately carved, dark wood four-posters. Bathrooms are huge with twin vanity units, double-sized walk-in showers, and separate baths. The rooms are built around a shared courtyard with hammocks and traditional floor seating around open fire pits which are lit as part of the nightly turn-down service. The spacious villas are ideal for families and friends travelling together.

The resort’s Emirati restaurant, Desert Gate, serves healthy Middle Eastern-influenced cuisine. Romantic private dining options include Twilight, a dune-top cabana. Enjoy the spa, gym, and infinity pool, with activities ranging from horse and camel riding, ziplining, falconry, sandboarding, archery and wildlife safaris. Telal does not serve alcohol but guests are welcome to bring their own to enjoy in their rooms.
