在貝都因人的家园深处,起伏着英国探险家威弗瑞笔下的阿拉伯沙漠之王Liwa沙漠,在沙漠的中心有一座阿布扎比王室的行宫。盖斯尔阿萨拉安纳塔拉沙漠度假村(Qasr Al Sarab)犹如一座海市蜃楼,静静地躺在阿拉伯半岛上的“空白之地”,迎接从人类文明远道而来的宾客,随时准备以一场史诗般地沙漠之旅将到访者的灵魂久久地挽留在沙漠深处。
这座位于Liwa大沙漠深处的酒店度假村距首都阿布扎比两小时车程,从迪拜驱车前往要三个小时。当越野车飞奔在广袤的沙漠,两傍金色或卡其色的沙丘在日光下变换着色彩,沙丘里寂静得只能听到越野车飞驰的呼啸声,Qasr Al Sarab之旅已经开始了。
In the depths of the Bedouin's homeland, lies the king of the Arabian deserts, Liwa Desert, one that was written by the British explorer Sir Wilfred. In the center of the desert is a royal palace of Abu Dhabi. The Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara is like a mirage quietly lying on the "Blank Land" of Arabian Peninsula, greeting guests from the faraway civilization, ready to keep the souls of the visitors with an epic desert tour.
This hotel resort lies in the depths of the Liwa Desert and is two hours drive from the capital Abu Dhabi and three hours drive from Dubai. When the off-road sport car flew by the vast desert, the golden or khaki dunes on both sides changed colors in the sunlight, so quiet are the dunes you can only hear the racing sounds, and the Qasr Al Sarab trip has already begun.
海市蜃楼般的宫殿
A Mirage-like Palace
Qasr Al Sarab在阿拉伯语中是“海市蜃楼般的宫殿”之意,是阿布扎比政府为弘扬阿联酋历史文化传承而于2006年开始兴建的酒店度假村。酒店于2009年正式开业,由来自泰国的知名度假酒店品牌安纳塔拉酒店集团管理。王室们常会到此小住或接待重要宾客,所以它是阿布扎比王室名符其实的行宫。
酒店的建筑设计由南非Northpoint建筑设计师事务所主理,不管是空间规划还是外立面的处理上,都强调空间的开放性和与周围环境的共融,加之茂盛的绿化,整个度假村就如一片散落在沙漠山谷中的绿洲。
当车停到酒店大堂门口,便有传统贝都因人打扮的门童上来打开车门,卸下行李。穿过三进式的过厅,来到Al Liwan酒店大堂,便进入了阿拉伯宫廷般的世界。齐特琴师演奏着悠扬的阿拉伯乐曲,阿拉伯香氛淡淡地弥漫在空气中,阳光透过窗棂和屏风柔和地散射到复古的黑木家具上,一杯椰枣酸奶和上等耶枣被送到面前洗却旅途的疲惫。
酒店一共有140个单间客房、14间套房、42间别墅以及10间皇家行宫别墅。客房还原传统的居住体验,前后均面对如画般的沙漠景观,每间客房都配备本土风格的阳台或露台,而别墅客房还带有私家泳池和私人用餐区。客房由低调而精致的中东织品装饰,天花上悬挂着珠宝镶嵌的银铜吊灯。在超大双人浴池中浸泡半小时,躺在铺设有高纱支床单的特大双人床上,一边品尝微酸的阿拉伯咖啡,一边欣赏窗外金色的沙漠景致,此番享受真像阿拉伯人一样美哉!爽哉!
Qasr Al Sarab means "a mirage-like palace" in Arabic. It is a hotel resort that the Abu Dhabi government had began to build in 2006 in order to promote the historical and cultural heritage of the UAE. The hotel was officially opened in 2009 and managed by the Anantara Hotel Group, a well-known resort hotel brand from Thailand. The royal family often comes here for holiday or uses it as reception for important guests, so it is the authentic Abu Dhabi royal palace.
The architectural design of the hotel is managed by South Africa's Northpoint Architectural firm. Whether it be space planning or the treatment of facades, they emphasize the openness of space, and the integration with the surrounding environment, coupled with lush greenery. The whole resort is like a stretch of oasis in the desert valley. When the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel lobby, bell boy dressed in traditional Bedouin clothes came to open the door and pick up the luggage. Through the three-round hall, you came to Al Liwan the hotel lobby and entered the Arab court-like world. The musicians played melodious Arabic music, the Arabian fruity fragrance was in the air, and the sun shone on the retro dark wood furniture through the window. Now a cup of date yogurt and quality dates were sent to you to take away the fatigue of the journey.
The hotel has a total of 140 single rooms, 14 suites and 42 villa rooms and 10 royal palace villas. The rooms are restored to the traditional living experience, both sides facing the picturesque desert landscapes, each with a local style balcony or terrace, and the villa rooms also have a private pool and a private dining area. The rooms are decorated with low-key and exquisite Middle East fabrics, with bronze and silver chandeliers inlaid with jewels. Soaking in the large double bath for half an hour, lying on a large double bed with high yarn count sheets, enjoying the slightly acidic Arabian coffee and the golden desert view outside the window-it's simply beautiful!
賞沙漠日落 享阿拉伯美味
Enjoy the Arabian Cuisine by the Desert Sunset
这里的夜晚没有喧嚣的酒吧,最推崇的夜生活方式是爬上沙丘看夕阳渐渐消失在沙漠柔和的天际线下,静静感受沙漠余温,远处的酒店在夜幕中慢慢燃起点点星火,那种纯粹与恬静一定让你此生难忘。
酒店虽远在沙漠,但美食选择却极其丰富。Al Waha提供自助餐,烹饪新鲜的传统阿联酋风格的中东菜;位于屋顶的Suhail是高档的烧烤餐厅,提供世界各地最好的牛肉,还有酒店酒窖里120种佳酿(在阿联酋很多酋长国,只有酒店才能出售酒精饮品);而别有风情的Ghadeer餐厅位于绿洲泳池旁,提供地中海风格的招牌美食和水烟休息间。夜晚户外沙漠中的 Al Falaj 洋溢着古老风情,宾客躺坐在帐篷下的沙发上像古贝都因人一样用餐,品尝阿拉伯的传统冷盘,享受阿拉伯风味的烧烤。
如果还嫌不够特别,也可以体验酒店的私人定制用餐,用餐地点不拘一格,可以在金色的沙丘上,在绿洲中的水池边,一边享用私人管家伺候的浪漫招牌晚餐,一边欣赏繁星点点的宝蓝石夜空,逍遥自在,何等惬意。
The night life here is without the hustle and bustle of the bar, the most recommended nightlife style is to climb up the dunes to see the sunset gradually disappearing in the skyline. Feel the warm temperature and see the hotel in the distant slowly light up sparks of light. Such purity and quietude are unforgettable.
Although the hotel is in the desert, the food choices are extremely rich. Al Waha offers a buffet with fresh traditional UAE-style Middle East cuisine; the rooftop Suhail is an upscale barbecue restaurant offering the best beef from around the world, as well as 120 kinds of wines in the hotel cellar (in the Emirates, only the hotel is allowed to sell alcoholic beverages); and the gorgeous Ghadeer restaurant is located next to the oasis pool, offering Mediterranean-style signature cuisine and hookah lounge. In the outdoor desert at night, Al Falaj with an ancient style is filled with guests lying on the couch under the tent like the ancient Bedouin, tasting the Arabian cold plates and the Arabian style barbecue. If you want something more special, you can also try the hotel's private custom dining with unrestricted dining venues, where you can have it in the golden sand dunes or in the oasis pool side. Enjoy the romantic dinner with a private butler under the Sapphire blue sky, how lovely.
熱情与静谧的沙漠时光
The Quiet yet Exciting Desert Time
在度假村里,轻松安静的休闲绝不是唯一的选择,这里有精彩的沙漠活动。最具特色的要数观赏驯鹰术,猎鹰从驯鹰师的手臂上腾空飞向沙漠天际,盘旋数周后降落到你面前。据说顶级猎隼身价每只可达20,000美元,它们还有自己的空调房。萨路基犬在沙漠中猎捕野兔也同样经彩,不过能不能看到还得看野兔是否赏脸出席。如果你想亲自参与其中,骑骆驼探险、射箭、沙漠徒步、冲沙等都是不错的选择。
当然,标准的酒店休闲项目这里也应有尽有,别墅水疗、健身中心、儿童俱乐部、网球场、游泳池等。在炎热的午后,跳进清澈的绿洲泳池是不错的选择。泳池四周斑驳的椰树影投射到树荫下闭目养神的住客,体贴的服务员会时不时送上两片黄瓜给客人敷眼,或拿着Avene喷雾对着你被烈日暴晒后的皮肤轻按两下。泳池外便是瞪羚保护区,时不时有小东西站在树丛后向泳池内偷窥,或许是在羡慕这几步之遥的人间生活吧。
离开酒店时,夕阳已将沙丘浸染。当越野车驶离这片原始之丘奔向回程的公路时,一天零一夜的轮回仿佛从梦中醒来,梦中的绝美之境还在娓娓讲述着阿拉伯悠久的历史文明。什么是当今社会的奢侈品?其中一种一定是人类在急功近利地追逐现代化途中所追思和渴望的文化传承与血脉根源,而真正的奢华酒店应立于人类现代文明不易触及之地,提供反璞归真的生活体验。
再会,Qasr Al Sarab!
In the resort, relaxed and quiet leisure is by no means the only option. There are wonderful desert activities. The most distinctive one is falcon show, where you watch falcon flying off from the trainer's arm, circling a few rounds in the sky before landing again. It is said that the top hunting Falcon worths up to $ 20,000 each, they also have their own air-conditioned room. Saluki dog hunting hare in the desert is also fabulous, but you have to see whether the hare is present. If you want to personally participate in the activities, camel riding, archery, desert walking, dune bashing are also good choices.
Of course, you can also have standard hotel leisure program here, villa spa, fitness center, children's club, tennis court, swimming pool and so on. In a hot afternoon, jumping into the oasis pool is a good choice. Around the swimming pool, attentive waiters will occasionally send two pieces of cucumber for the guests as eye masks, or provide them with Avene spray for their sun-exposed skin. Outside the pool is protected area for gazelle, and from time to time there are small animals standing behind the trees peeping into the pool, perhaps they envy the fairyland inside as well.
By the time to leave the hotel, the sunset on the dunes is glowing. As the off-road vehicle sped toward the return journey, the experience here for one day and one night felt like a dream, telling a long story of Arab civilization. What is the luxury of today's society? One of them must be the search of cultural heritage and root desired among all modern pursuits. The real luxury hotel should stand in the place hard to be reached by the modern civilization and provide the experience of an innocent and primitive life.
Until we meet again, Qasr Al Sarab!
