The hotel

This sparkling Jumeirah resort sits on arguably the best stretch of sand on Saadiyat Island, a unique eco-destination which balances luxury with sustainability. It’s easy to see why they’re keen to preserve this beautiful patch of the UAE, with its nesting turtles, visiting dolphins, and twisting mangroves creating a refreshingly unspoilt holiday setting for thoughtful travellers. But, being in tune with initiatives like using reusable water bottles, doesn’t equal missing out on today’s luxuries – and Jumeirah Saadiyat Island comes with an over-the-top menu of pools (we count four), spa treatments (which are taken in a space with a sumptuous Moroccan hammam twist), and plentiful bars and restaurants (with seven venues created to let you wine and dine your nights away together).

We have stayed here a number of times and for us it’s on the best beach in the UAE… seeing dolphins as well on some visits. Great rooms, lovely views, excellent service and early check in after an overnight flight. Spa and treatments excellent. We tried SAL for the first time and enjoyed it for lunch but we’re surprised it was the same menu for dinner. We enjoy eating outside so we’re disappointed this was no longer possible at Mare Mare. The beach bar at Saadiyat beach club is a nice place to watch the sunset and an easy walk from the hotel. Am sure we will return. Read less

Wondeful stay... Relaxing by the ocean, wonderful clear warm water, white sand, great staff, wonderful food, excellent choice of restaurants, the spa is awesome, hostess Hansen, so helpful and super therapist Molka thank you! Amazing massage. The hotel is beautifully kept, we ate mostly at White as enjoy buffet style and the chefs here were amazing, many great hostesses but especially Marie who welcomed us everyday, always smiling, so professional and so kind and gracious she truly went the extra mile to help us. Also the manager Naeem at White, this guy is a total credit to this hotel, what an excellent role model to his team, literally clearing tables himself to help his team, setting an super example. (I have also sent an more detailed feedback to White restaurant) Lovely coffee shop in the lobby, great cakes, incredible sunset views from this hotel and also it is close to the airport, and all of the sightseeing places, not far, The Grand Mosque, The Presidential Palace, Galleria Mall etc. Highly recommend this hotel... we had a super relaxing stay, thanks to all of the staff, including all of those behind the scenes, the amazing chefs and kitchen staff, cleaners etc.. truly a team effort that enabled us to have a super holiday.
