Liwa Hotel Abu Dhabi  

Perched on a majestic hill in Liwa Oasis above the town of Liwa Mezairaa, this family-friendly resort looks out over the lush oasis on one side and the vast Rub Al Khali (Empty Quarter) on the other. It’s roughly a 2.5-hour drive from Abu Dhabi and about 3.5 hours from Dubai, and sits approximately 14 km from the local town center.

Traditional architecture and a 10-hectare garden of luxuriant greenery give the property a striking desert-meets-oasis vibe. Rooms, suites and a villa combine classic design with modern comfort—expect TVs, mini-bars, showers and cozy touches like bathrobes and slippers. Many accommodations offer hilltop views that catch dramatic desert sunrises and sunsets.

Wake up to oasis views and unwind at the outdoor pool and spa center. Treatments include massage rooms, a sauna and a steam bath, while a fitness center keeps routines intact. Family-friendly extras include kids’ playrooms and a BBQ area. The tour desk arranges desert activities—camel and horse riding, sand boarding and safaris—and the hotel offers transfer services and on-site parking. Free Wi‑Fi, an elevator, concierge and laundry/dry-cleaning services are also available.

A conference hall and event support make the resort suitable for meetings and group gatherings. Free Wi‑Fi across the property helps guests stay connected.

On-site dining options include a restaurant, a bar for evening drinks and a café for coffee and light bites. Casual poolside barbecue options are also available for relaxed meals.
