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 at Saadiyat Island Resort 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).

Great stay from start to finish. We were greeted by Willy at the check in and he made our experience really memorable. He was very helpful in how to spend the time there, and even came back to ask how was our stay and helped us checkout. The resort is directly on the saadyit beach, amazing escape and great rooms, clean and modern.

Amazing location. The beach is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Best part of the holiday. I had a very high expectation of being here, as at other Jumeirah hotels, it’s all been excellent. Arrival - Private transfer lovely, we thought great start. Arrived at hotel. No one came and greeted us or collected our luggage. Which would have been ok if that’s what had happened at their previous resorts. Reception was not very welcoming, it was evening and quiet. Didn’t feel welcome. Rooms nice. We had two rooms, which were at each end of a corridor and not close to us. Resort nice but too busy to cater for people wanting to eat out at the lunch time pool restaurant. Gym good Adult pool nice but a shame my daughter wasn’t old enough by a year! But seriously the beach is amazing and they keep it clean. Would I go again? Mmm Saddiyat Island yes, hotel - don’t know.

What a view from the room—did we just land in heaven? A white beach stretching into turquoise, almost holy waters. Take a long walk along the shore, feel the breeze on your face, and sip the signature Jumeirah service in every food and drink you enjoy. The room was wonderful, with a great bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud of feathers. The little details really make the service luxurious; they even thought of your cables, with a clever holder to keep everything tidy. The amenities were literally so sweet—chocolates and treats that made the stay even more special. What a wonderful stay—it truly made me feel like a princess. Read less
