Anantara Al Sahel Villa Resort: Laundry, Dry Cleaning & Pressing
Guests of Anantara Al Sahel Villa Resort, the safari-style villas inside the Arabian Wildlife Park, can use Laundrykhalas as their laundry service. Sir Bani Yas Island is over 250 km west of the city, so every laundry pickup is set up in advance on WhatsApp and passes through the resort's front desk or jetty. Our dry cleaning and washing happen on the mainland.

Plan the laundry around your game drives
Safari days are dusty by design. Here is what guests at Anantara Al Sahel Villa Resort tend to send us, and when it is worth sending.
Will everything be home in time for my flight?
Choose your departure. We count 3 hours at the airport for an international flight, and the long journey off the island is added to that.
Reaching Zayed International Airport from the Jebel Dhanna coast is a three-to-four-hour taxi ride, and the island crossing comes before that.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Packages are set by Anantara, so check what yours covers. Our laundry is a separate booking on WhatsApp and is paid for separately, with the price shown first. Some guests are surprised to find the two are not linked at all.
- Nothing is bought through the resort for us
- Hand the bag to reception or the jetty point
- Villa hosts know when bags leave the island
Access runs through Anantara and the island operator, so ask the resort. We only handle the laundry, and we stay on the mainland side of the crossing, which is why a clear message to us matters.
- Our drivers collect at the resort's handover point
- The hour is agreed with you on WhatsApp
- No promise is made about access or crossings
The resort arranges travel to the island, so contact Anantara. For laundry, the crossing means everything is booked ahead and timed with you.
- Distance from the capital: well beyond 250 km
- Cleaning follows our usual 24-hour list
- The return day is confirmed in the chat
Use +971 50 384 1660 on WhatsApp, answered all day and night. It is not the resort's number, and we are not part of Anantara.
- Say you are at Al Sahel and give your villa number
- Receive a quote before any handover
- Orders from AED 30 travel free both ways
It lies off the Western Region coast, far west of the capital. We cover it by arrangement, through the resort's own handover point, so a quick message comes first.
- Mainland neighbours: Dhafra Beach Hotel and Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort
- No fuel or distance fee in the Western Region
- The pickup time is fixed in the chat
A 12kg bag is AED 99, under AED 9 a kilo. A 6kg bag is AED 60, and each kilo beyond 12 adds AED 12. Families often split one big bag between them, as the park clothes of four people fill it fast, and swimwear and towels fit in around the edges.
- Towels and swimwear can share a bag
- Bags are weighed when they reach us
- Fragrance-free washing costs nothing extra
Every piece is cleaned, treated and pressed by hand, so pricing is per item. Shirts begin at AED 15, which is less than many expect. For casual clothes, washing by weight costs far less.
- Two-piece suit AED 50, evening dress AED 65
- Park shirts can simply be washed
- You see the total before collection
The cleaning can be same day, but the crossing back cannot be rushed. Items reaching us before 12 noon are cleaned that day, and the return slot is agreed with you first.
- Tell us the day you leave the island
- A jacket pressed alone is AED 25
- Delivery to reception or the jetty point
Yes, Al Yamm works the same way, through its own reception. Name the resort you are staying in when you write to us, and the sisters on the island share one rate list, so nothing changes if you move between them mid-stay.
- The prices are the same on both
- Each handover is agreed in the chat
- Our drivers stay on the mainland side
