Desert Retreats & Jungle Villas: Stunning Luxury Stays in Bali and Dubai

The Udaya Resorts and Spa in Ubud, Bali immerses guests in wellness and tranquillity amid lush tropical gardens, offering a peaceful escape with its iconic flower bath spa rituals. Meanwhile, Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, stands alone in the vast Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, where Bedouin-inspired elegance meets world-class desert safaris and private plunge pools.

At The Udaya, the standout Pool Villa blends traditional Balinese design with modern indulgences. Spread over 150 sqm, it features a king-size bed in an airy open-plan layout, private tropical pool, and an outdoor stone bathtub set in a semi-private garden. Guests enjoy eco-friendly luxury toiletries, a complimentary stocked minibar, and daily floating breakfast served in the villa pool. Rates typically range from USD 250 to 400 per night.

Al Maha’s Bedouin Suite spans 75 sqm and captures Arabian charm with handcrafted décor, camel-hued interiors, and sweeping desert views. The suite includes a king-size bed, a private temperature-controlled pool, and a wooden deck perfect for sunset lounging or stargazing. Guests receive 24-hour butler service, full-board dining, and two desert excursions per day, with rates starting at around USD 1,000.

Ubud, in central Bali, is known for its calm, cultural heart. Just minutes from The Udaya, guests can explore the iconic Tegallalang Rice Terraces or shop vibrant artisan goods at the Ubud Traditional Art Market. Within town, the sacred Monkey Forest and the lotus-filled grounds of Pura Taman Saraswati offer cultural immersion. Regional adventures include sunrise treks up Mount Batur or ritual purification at Tirta Empul Temple. Bali’s tropical climate stays warm and humid all year, but April to October offers the driest and most comfortable months to visit.

Al Maha lies deep within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, about 65 kilometers southeast of central Dubai. Safari drives and camel treks wind through golden dunes teeming with native wildlife. City day trips reach the glittering Burj Khalifa and the vast Dubai Mall with ease. For nature-lovers, the Hatta Mountain Reserve provides hiking and kayaking near Oman’s border, while culturally curious travelers can explore Sharjah’s museums. The UAE’s desert climate means hot dry summers and mild, comfortable winters, with November to March offering cooler conditions ideal for outdoor activities.

Insider Tip: At The Udaya, schedule a flower bath in the Kaveri Spa late afternoon, just as golden light filters through the trees; and request a floating breakfast the day before to choose the best menu. In Ubud, arrive early at the rice terraces to avoid the crowds and the heat. At Al Maha, book sunset camel rides for unbeatable views and keep binoculars handy for oryx sightings right from your suite’s pool deck. For city excursions, hit Dubai after 4 p.m. to avoid midday heat and enjoy the skyline lighting up after dark.
