Ultimate Valentine’s destinations

Arabian nights

If you're short of time but still desire an ultimate romantic respite that's a little closer to home, make your way to the Banyan Tree Desert Spa & Resort, Al Areen in Bahrain. Recreate the splendour of the Arabian Nights fantasy at this luxurious oasis that flaunts subtly elegant Arabian architecture.

The prestigious resort boasts the only all-villa private pool and jet-pool resort in the Middle East, with one of the world's extensive spa and hydrotherapy complexes. What's more, the resort has the added mystique of being set in amidst well-preserved forts, enlightening museums and one of the Gulf's oldest mosque.

The villas are by themselves cavernous and opulent thanks to Arabesque interiors, including a specially designed king-size bed, private garden, swimming pool and exquisite jet pool courtyard.
