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).

Our sixth visit—and once again, it exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome set the tone for another exceptional stay. A heartfelt thank you to Suraj at reception, who greeted us with genuine warmth and handled all our requests effortlessly. The entire hotel team is consistently attentive, thoughtful, and always ready with a friendly smile. Their hospitality truly makes us feel at home. A special shout-out to Raju, Jonathan, and the wonderful team at the White restaurant for their impeccable service and graciousness. And of course, Amir and his beach crew were always nearby, making sure everything was perfect.

We already can’t wait for our next visit! The Patel family Read less
