– A considered approach to remote working, set against the landscape of the Empty Quarter open to UAE and GCC residents until 30 September 2026 from AED 1,080++ per night, inclusive of pet-friendly stays

Set deep within the dunes of the Rub’ al Khali, Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara introduces its Desert Workcation Retreat, reimagining remote working within one of the region’s most expansive natural landscapes. With a pet-friendly approach*, it allows for longer, more flexible stays, where time away need not mean leaving companions behind.

Located approximately 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi, the resort provides a setting where daily routines are reframed by open space and uninterrupted desert views. Here, work and time away from it are allowed to coexist more fluidly, shaped by the pace of the surroundings rather than a fixed schedule.

Mornings begin with the quiet of the desert, before shifting into a working rhythm supported by in-room or in-villa setups, uninterrupted connectivity, and access to meeting facilities when required. The retreat includes complimentary printing services and unlimited coffee, creating a practical foundation for longer stays without disrupting the sense of place. 

Designed with families in mind, the experience integrates remote learning support through the resort’s Kids’ Club, where supervised sessions are complemented by curated activities, ensuring children remain engaged and immersed while parents focus on their day.

Beyond working hours, guests are able to step into a range of desert experiences, from dune drives and camel trekking to more self-directed exploration, offering a natural shift between focus and pause throughout the day.

The Desert Workcation Retreat includes savings of up to 30 percent on rooms and up to 40 percent on Villas inclusive of breakfast, along with 20 percent savings on dining and spa experiences. 

Additional benefits include guaranteed upgrades*, 24-hour check-in and check-out, and complimentary access to leisure facilities such as paddle and tennis courts. 

Available for a minimum stay of three nights, the offer is open to UAE and GCC residents until 30 September 2026, with rates starting from AED 1,080++ per night. 

*Pet stays are subject to prior confirmation, availability, and applicable terms and conditions.

*Upgrades are limited to Anantara Suite.
