For those looking for holiday inspiration, Amanda tagged her location as Al Maha, a five-star resort and spa located in 45 minutes outside Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Nestled among the iconic sand dunes of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the luxury resort offers private swimming pools and a sundeck seating area where you can soak up views of the scenery, including the Hajar massif mountain range.
