The dunes begin where the motorway ends, and so does the noise. The new desert retreats have understood that their guests are not buying treatments; they are buying the absence of stimulation — the silence, the cold night, the unreasonable number of stars.

It is the natural counterweight to Dubai's vertical life, and a cousin to the private islands buyers are chasing across the globe.
