Premium Saadiyat Island
Ottoman-palace-meets-Mediterranean beach resort. Grand, family-friendly, and unapologetically over-the-top. Think jewel-toned interiors, courtyard fountains, DJ sets by the beach bar, and roller-skating poolside bartenders.
Book à la carte restaurants as soon as you arrive — availability fills up fast, especially for Aja's Teppanyaki show
Why It Matters
Michelin Key 2025 and Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2025 winner. The only Ultra All-Inclusive property on Saadiyat Island — and the first all-inclusive concept in all of Abu Dhabi. Hawksbill turtles nest on the beach; dolphins are spotted regularly from the shoreline.
Abu Dhabi's only Ultra All-Inclusive resort sits on a private stretch of white-sand beach on Saadiyat Island, overlooking the Arabian Gulf. The architecture draws from Ottoman palaces — marble floors, jewel-toned rooms in emerald, sapphire and pink, mosaic feature walls, gold hardware — giving it the feel of a palace that never quite left the 16th century. But don't let the opulence fool you: this place is built for serious resort living, with six restaurants, six bars, the largest spa on the island, a kids' aqua park, and a wave pool all bundled into the all-inclusive rate.
