Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa Announces Exciting New Facilities including Ayurveda at Timeless Spa, Campsite Dinners and Augmented Day Packages as Major Travel Trade Show Approaches Dubai, United Arab Emirates: As the regional hospitality industry gets geared up for Arabian Travel Market (ATM) next month, Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, remains the #1 hotel in the Middle East. Be it its #1 ranking on Tripadvisor or its ranking of 12 in the Travelers’ Choice Awards 2014 for ‘Top 25 Hotels in the World’, the resort continues to win accolades from a variety of different credible sources, bringing further prestige to the region’s hospitality industry. In order to ensure that it remains at the top, Al Maha continues to enhance its offering and has recently introduced signature SoftouchAyurveda treatments at the Timeless Spa. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian "Science of Life", is the oldest known health system in the world, stating that the skin is the mirror to inner health and the body manifests everything that happens inside. The traditional Ayurvedic treatment packages now available at the resort are, therefore, designed to heal body, mind and soul. The resort has recently improved its day packages, which are designed with the discerning guest in mind and are tailor-made to showcase what sets the desert resort apart, be it the exciting activities that guests can enjoy only at Al Maha or the stunning spa facilities where one can indulge and rejuvenate, or even enjoy a wonderful meal conjured up by the resort’s award-winning chefs. Corporate packages at the resort have also been improved. Companies can now enjoy a completely different off-site experience that could include a dune dinner or participating in exciting desert activities such as falconry, archery or a desert safari. Activities, lunches and dinners can all be tailor-made depending on the requirements of the company. Embracing the culinary cultures of the East and West, dining at Al Maha has come into its own this past year, with the resort now offering a truly international experience, exciting to the palate, yet simple, honest and 'homemade'. Using the finest organic ingredients sourced from around the world; from free-range eggs and Halal meats to the freshest hand-picked fruit and vegetables, the resort provides a standard fit for any highly-awarded restaurant. Under the watchful eye of highly skilled chefs, the resort’s recent culinary successes include its signature Afternoon Tea, and the Al Maha Bedouin campsite dinner venue ideal for intimate gatherings or themed events. It can be transformed into anything the client wants. On many occasions, traditional seating, lighting and décor have been added, in addition to the building of entertainment stages to showcase musicians, dancers and bands. “At Al Maha we are all about going above and beyond. The overall experience, be it the exclusive outdoor activities, fully inclusive stay and personalized service make Al Maha a once-in-a lifetime experience. But one that guests keep reliving. We create guest loyalty by listening to our guests and anticipating their needs. We are always ready and prepared, flexible and accommodating. The little touches such as taking care of all inbound and outbound transfer and travel arrangements, our attention to fine detail, immediately acting on guest preferences, building great relationships with our agents and tour operators all help to keep guests satisfied and coming back for more,” said Arne Silvis, general manager, Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa. Al Maha was also ranked #9 in Top 25 Hotels for Romance in the World, and #12 in Top 25 Luxury Hotels in the World. The award-winning resort also continues to hold the #1 position in the Middle East in the following categories-Top 25 Luxury Hotels, Top 25 Hotels for Romance and Top 25 Hotels.
