Al Faya Retreat
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Al Faya Retreat is a five-room desert lodge in Sharjah, near the Mleiha UNESCO site, made by Anarchitect from two abandoned 1960s stone buildings, a roadside clinic and a grocery, reused as a minimalist boutique retreat with a saltwater spa. Shurooq's Sharjah Collection opened it in 2019, and the old rooms of the clinic and shop are now the suites, so the desert road it once served is still outside.
- 5 rooms
- Opened 2019
