Everything
about Al Maha is designed to provide guests with a unique
experience. Driven through the dunes to the resort, guests
are welcomed into a central building constructed in traditional
Arabian style.
The lobby,
with its cool stone floor and natural light is at the centre
of the main building, adjacent to which is The Gallery shop
selling unusual art, antiques and resort-branded goods.
The Library can be a quiet place of reflection and solitude
and where guests can enjoy the numerous original artworks
or perhaps play a game of chess. It can also be used as
a unique conference facility seating up to 20 people and
utilising the latest in audio-visual equipment.
The Men's and
Ladies' Majlis are places for conversation surrounded by
antiquity - The Lounge and its veranda are places for meeting,
reading or simply watching the indigenous animals at the
nearby waterhole.
Beyond this,
the traditionally styled courtyard affords comfortable seating
on wooden terraces and uninterrupted views of the surrounding
plains, set to the murmur of a gently sparkling foliage.
From the courtyard, guests can access The Dining Room -
where large doors open onto the veranda and inside, the
atmosphere is one of informal elegance. The Bar is also
to be found off the courtyard - here, guests relax in beautiful
seating surrounded by fine arts and antiquities.
Outside, the rich earth colours of the walls and buildings
contrast magnificently with the crystal waters of the main
swimming pool.
