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).

He helped me so much in all aspects around the hotel from the beginning of the hotel on the start of my trip till the end of my trip the biggest impression of the hotel starts from the Bell boy because it’s the first thing you see when entering hotel and I must say that this bellboy was one of the best I have ever come across he was wonderful.

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.
The food continues to be absolutely outstanding—with an incredible variety and quality that never fails to impress.
A truly five-star experience in every way. We already can’t wait for our next visit!
