Conde Nast Traveler, the world’s #1 travel magazine, has recently judged Al Tarfa Desert Sanctuary Lodge & Spa as one of the World’s Top 140 New Hotels. “Of the thousands that made their debuts… we checked into the most promising–incognito–measuring up the services, trying out the beds, and sampling the food. The 140 properties that passed our scrutiny, make up the largest Hot List yet, proving that the standards for excellence haven’t slipped; in fact, they have only risen.” -From Conde Nast – May 2009 Issue.
