Tranquility is often in short supply, but at Banyan Tree Al Wadi resort in the United Arab Emirates, its the natural state of being. Situated in the rolling desert sands, this five star resort affords you the opportunity to stay busy, or remain blissfully relaxed at your private villa pool. The entire facility is beautifully appointed, as evidenced in this HomeDSGN post and gallery. Whether engaging with the wildlife or rejuvenating in the luxurious spa facilities, you’ll leave with lifted spirits.
