Charm your loved ones this Valentine’s Day as the magic of love emanates through Banyan Tree Al Wadi.
Desert Romance Package
Step into the tranquil surrounds of your plush Al Rimal or Al Khaimah villa and be drawn by breathtaking views of the wide desert plains. Luxuriate in the heated waters of your private pool or spend some quiet moments together lounging on the day-bed.
As the night winds down, the romantic ambience of a dinner feast by candlelight set in the quietude of the desert, contained within the privacy of your villa and served by your personal chef and wait staff, promises to make the night simply sizzling.
On Valentine’s Night, dine by bonfire and be seduced by the crisp scent of cold winter air and the luxurious spread of barbeque delights, complete with a glass of sparkling beverage. The low notes of the solo oud player sets the mood for an evening of romance while discreet yet attentive service by informed wait staff allow for sweet nothings to be exchanged. Salute the night sky with the release of a Thai lantern, a traditional practice carrying wishes heavenwards.
Return to a pleasing turndown service complete with a rose-petal bath with a bottle of sparkling beverage and incense-scented bedroom. Be greeted by the morning sun and delight in a room service breakfast of truffle lobster egg benedict or sunny-side foie gras-flavoured minute steaks, berries and vanilla cream, bread and butter pudding french toast with nutella and berries, and a choice of juices and coffee or tea.
