Dubai’s Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa has been voted high among the top 25 best hotels in the world for 2015, according to travel website TripAdvisor.

The website’s annual Travellers’ Choice awards are judged on the basis of the quality and quantity of traveller reviews and opinions.

The winners include a wide range of hotels across the world, from opulent, luxury hotels to budget-friendly B&Bs.

“TripAdvisor’s community of millions of travelers has helped us highlight some of the very best hotels from around the world,” said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor.

“The list of thousands of award-winning properties is perfect to inspire travellers as they think about their 2015 travel plans.”
