The Mysk Al Faya Retreat in Sharjah offers a luxurious tented hotel experience, where you can enjoy an island and a sea all to yourself
The retreat is part of the 'Sharjah Collection' by Mysk by Shaza, emphasizing the Arabian lifestyle.
Located on a small island off the east coast of the UAE in Kalba, access is exclusively via the hotel's boat.
🦀️ This island is a famous local ecological reserve, and on the beach, I saw groups of crabs. However, do not touch these little crabs as they are strictly protected animals. Taking a boat ride through the mangroves, you might be lucky enough to encounter turtles and gazelles among other wildlife. The island also has a turtle rescue center that regularly releases healed turtles back into the sea.
⛺️ The resort has a total of 20 luxurious tents, rugged on the outside but modern and comfortable inside, with views of the beach and turquoise sea from the bed. Each tent comes with a private pool and terrace. Watching the majestic sunrise in the morning, you almost have the entire beach to yourself.
🚣♀️ Guests can participate in activities such as kayaking and archery, and there are various amusement facilities for children, making it very suitable for family vacations.
🍴 The hotel's Al Qurm restaurant offers sea views and a rich selection of local flavors and international cuisine, with a diverse breakfast to start the day right.
🚢 The small town of Kalba is built along the coastline, and taking a boat ride in the evening to gaze at the sunset over the city, with delicious food accompanied by beautiful scenery, is truly intoxicating.
