The only Ultra All-Inclusive retreat on Saadiyat Island, you can dine on delicacies from Italy to Asia at six elegant restaurants; sip drinks at a series of beautiful bars; enjoy the fun of its beach, aqua park and wave pool; and even indulge in the ice room, Jacuzzi, and private outdoor pool of its Turkish-inspired spa.
