TAKE THE DESERT PLUNGE

Mercury levels in the Empty Quarter can reach frightening levels in summer, but the heat won’t bother guests checking into a One Bedroom Anantara Pool Villa at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara. With rates from as little as AED 1,999 per night, these luxurious abodes feature atmospheric views over the dunes, butler service and private plunge pools. The package, which includes buffet breakfast for two, is available from May 15 to September 30.
