Jumeirah Saadiyat Island

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Star rating

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 just returned from our second stay at the Jumeriah Saadiyat Island. When we visited in September 2024 we said we would return and we did! The service we received was outstanding - special mentions to Marie, Naeem and Betty in White plus Rashid and Saleem on the beach who all looked after us exceptionally well. We had a wonderful room with sea view - we put a request in with housekeeping for a mattress topper and memory foam pillows which were delivered extremely quickly. All the restaurants were wonderful - the food exceptional with great service. We do hope that the Offside is open next time we visit. And pleased to say that will be back in September to see all the familar faces we have grown to know. Read less

Exceptional Support & Compassion – Thank You, Jumeirah and Jenny! I’ve always known Jumeirah to represent luxury and excellence, but during a recent experience, they showed me that their true strength lies in their humanity and customer care. Due to the ongoing issues in the Middle East, I was forced to cancel my upcoming trip—a situation that came with a lot of stress and uncertainty. What could have been a difficult and costly process turned into a smooth, reassuring experience thanks to the incredible support of Jenny, a member of the Jumeirah team. From the moment I reached out, Jenny handled everything with grace, understanding, and efficiency. She went above and beyond to facilitate a completely free cancellation, even though the booking was non-refundable and approaching quickly. Her empathy, professionalism, and personal touch made a world of difference. Highlights of my experience: • Jenny responded promptly and kindly, treating my concerns with genuine care. • She coordinated the cancellation seamlessly, ensuring I wasn’t charged a single fee. In a time when so many companies lean on rigid policies, Jumeirah—through Jenny—showed extraordinary flexibility and compassion. This was more than just customer service; it was hospitality at its finest. Thank you, Jenny, and thank you, Jumeirah. I may not have made it this time, but you’ve absolutely earned my loyalty for the next. I can’t wait to rebook when the time is right, knowing I’ll be cared for by people who truly understand what hospitality means. Read less
