Swap the City for Sand: Qasr Al Sarab’s Easter Weekend Escape

3 mins

Think infinity pool dining, dune-side egg hunts and sunrise yoga just two hours from Abu Dhabi, this is Easter reimagined in the vast calm of the desert

This Easter, Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara invites guests to the stillness of the Empty Quarter, where rolling dunes and fortress-inspired architecture set the scene for a memorable weekend.

Just 2 hours from Abu Dhabi, the resort offers a considered programme of dining, wellness and family experiences.

Dining takes centre stage this Easter at AMANIE, an adults-only setting beside the infinity pool. A multi-course menu showcases seasonal ingredients, served against uninterrupted desert views. Available on April 5th for both lunch and dinner, the menu is priced at AED 595 per person.

For a more relaxed alternative, Ghadeer Terrace offers an al fresco Easter dinner from 6:30pm – 10 pm on April 5th, with sweeping dune views that create an easygoing atmosphere for families and friends.

Throughout the resort, expect seasonal touches. At Al Liwan, handcrafted Easter eggs and truffles will be presented alongside a chocolate guessing game, with the winner announced on the 5th.

For younger guests, the weekend offers a series of creative, interactive activities, from arts and crafts to Easter-themed games. The highlight is the Qasr Egg Hunt, taking place across the 4th and 5th of April from 10:30am to 5pm. Expect colourful eggs to be hidden throughout the resort, each revealing small surprises and the chance to win more significant rewards.

Prizes include a 2-night stay in an Anantara One Bedroom Villa with breakfast for 2, a 60-minute spa experience for 2, a dinner for 2 at Al Falaj, or a complimentary activity of choice. Alongside these, each discovery brings instant treats, from ice cream to signature refreshments.

A dedicated Kids’ Egg Hunt on April 5th, also running from 10:30am to 5pm, is tailored for children aged 2 to 12 years.

For those looking to extend the experience, Qasr Al Sarab also presents a UAE Residents Staycation offer, inviting guests to trade the pace of the city for the vast serenity of the Empty Quarter.
