at Saadiyat Island Resort
Contemporary-luxe beach resort with strong eco-credentials. Bohemian-inspired decor, natural materials, low-rise architecture that blends into the dune landscape. Equally at home for honeymooners and families.
Ask for a Garden Terrace room if you want direct beach-level access; the extended daybed terrace is among the best spaces on the property
Why It Matters
One of the very few Gulf resorts to win World's Best New Resort Spa (World Spa Awards). The 2,700 sqm Talise Spa built around a grand Moroccan hammam is genuinely exceptional. Add hawksbill turtle nesting on the beach, direct access to the Louvre Abu Dhabi (5 km), and eight private villas with private pools and optional in-villa spa treatment rooms — it earns its reputation.
A five-star beachfront resort sitting on 400 metres of protected white sand on Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat Island. It's a touch more secluded than competitors in town, which gives its 293 rooms, suites, and eight private villas a genuine sense of calm. Rich earthy tones, minimalist interiors, and sustainability credentials (single-use plastics eliminated throughout) set this apart from the average Gulf mega-resort.
