The 66-room resort overlooking the Rub al Khali desert, otherwise known as ‘The Empty Quarter,’ offers a full range of recreation and sports facilities with a focus on the desert wilderness.
According to hotel manager Mel Barisic, family travel can prove a challenge in the warmer months, trying to balance the needs of the whole family.
He said: “Everyone needs a holiday, especially families! Money and logistics are often the biggest factors in organising a family break, and we’ve designed a new package that gives everyone the space needed to enjoy the hotel and time together.”
Guests have free access to four floodlit tennis courts, a volleyball court, fitness facilities with a swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and steam room along with children’s pool and playground area during their stay.
A selection of restaurants and lounges – including an internet café – round out the food and beverage choices to make a family getaway complete.
