Luxurious stay and being close to nature We had an awesome experience of staying here, we stayed for two nights in One bedroom pool villa and everything was well organized and value for money. The best was to watch animals roaming near your villa while you are enjoying being in the pool and having a drink to beat the summer. The villa pool needs a little bit of more privacy though, since you can see other guests in pool and they can see you as well. Our 2.5 year old son had an amazing time playing in water and watching animals. The hotel staff is very courteous and they take care of your requests very well. The villa was very big and the sofa in the front room could be converted in a bed which can accommodate two kids easily. Looking forward to be back soon, probably in winter.

Mini safari holiday in UAE luxury I have to recommend Anantara Al Sahel Villa Resort on Sir Bani Yas Island, UAE. For a long weekend out of the city it is a fabulous place. Utter tranquility and relaxation amongst the wildlife on this wonderful nature reserve. The individual 'villas' are perfect, sitting in your private plunge pool you can watch gazelles and peacocks constantly roaming by. All the staff are very professional, friendly and welcoming. You are free to roam between the 3 Anantara properties which are the only properties on this small island. The Nature Drive and Nature Walk are highly recommended and the Guides are most knowledgeable about the wildlife. I would definitely return for a second visit. Approx 3.5 hour drive from Dubai to the Jetty, plus 20 minutes by boat to Sir Bani Yas Island and a further 20 minutes by vehicle to reach the hotel.
