“This is a 5-star boutique experience, that much is clear. The private villas with their individual pools set a tone of Arabian luxury, but the uncommon feature is the access to a full polo estate. It's a tranquil escape only twenty minutes from Dubai's center, blending wellness with a unique sporting atmosphere.”
