A new kind of desert escape is coming to Dubai’s mountains. Ennismore, the fast-growing lifestyle hospitality company, and Dubai Holding have joined forces to launch Caravan Hatta by Our Habitas — the brand’s first property in the UAE and the newest addition to Hatta Resorts. The project, opening December 2025, marks a milestone in Dubai’s ongoing effort to position Hatta as the country’s leading eco-tourism destination.
Set within the dramatic Hajar Mountains, Caravan Hatta will blend minimalist design with nature’s raw beauty. Fifty bespoke Airstream-style caravans, crafted with low-impact materials and organic textiles, will be perched above Hatta Dam and the valley below. Each unit opens onto a private wooden deck — a place for quiet mornings, reflection, and mountain air.
At the heart of the retreat lies The Lake House, a striking communal space built around an infinity pool with panoramic mountain views. Here, guests can gather, share stories, and connect through experiences inspired by the heritage and healing traditions of Hatta. A holistic wellness program will offer sound baths, yoga and meditation sessions, and hot-and-cold therapies featuring a barrel sauna, outdoor cold plunge, and open-air hot tub.
Days unfold in rhythm with nature: kayaking and paddleboarding on the lake, hiking or biking along mountain trails, and as the sun sets, stargazing from the observatory deck under the clear desert sky.
Evenings will revolve around open-air dining, with Ennismore’s culinary team curating food trucks and live barbecue stations that celebrate regional flavours under a canopy of stars.
For Our Habitas, known for redefining experiential luxury through community and conscious living, Caravan Hatta marks the brand’s debut in the UAE — following its successful Caravan AlUla in Saudi Arabia. The project builds on the partnership between Dubai Holding and Ennismore, which began in 2023 and has already introduced Delano Dubai and Banyan Tree Dubai at Bluewaters.
Set amid the rugged serenity of the Hajar Mountains, Caravan Hatta by Our Habitas aims to redefine the desert retreat — one that is rooted in nature, shaped by community, and designed for the modern traveller’s need to reconnect.
