The hotel

This Mediterranean, yet contemporary style resort, is nestled between Saadiyat Island’s white sandy beach and the famous Saadiyat Beach Golf Course. The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort is elegant and prestigious offering a fantastic array of quality services and facilities. Splash about in one of five delightful swimming pools, one of which is adults-only, whilst children have their own pool with a cave and waterfalls to explore. Pamper yourself at the world-class Iridium Spa where you can tailor make your own experience. There is also tennis and squash for those that are more active.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at The St. Regis Saadiyat for my daughter's birthday celebration. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Mario at the front office, who ensured everything would be perfect for our stay and it truly was. Our room was beautifully decorated, and to our surprise, there was a thoughtful birthday gift waiting for my daughter which was such a lovely touch. The wonderful team at the Kids Club surprised my daughter with a cake, making her birthday even more special and memorable. We dined at Olea for both dinner and breakfast, and the food was outstanding. The variety and quality were impressive, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout. This stay was full of thoughtful gestures and impeccable service. We felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. Thank you to everyone at St. Regis Saadiyat for making this occasion so special!

Another exceptional stay at the St Regis Saadiyat Island. This was our seventh visit and the St Regis with its extraordinary team always delivers amazing service and wonderful memories. From our seamless arrival, to our fabulous room with integrated butler, an athletics club with an extensive selection of equipment, to a remarkable array of fantastic worldly foods, fine wines and exotic drinks at the Manhattan Bar, beautifully cared for gardens, pool areas with cool waters to temper the dry heat served by smiling attendants and a beach with a warm salty sea to refresh the skin and heat the bones. Team culture is at the heart of the St Regis and whilst there are too many names to mention we’ve tried to capture as many as we could remember … Ansari (Housekeeping); William, Ogni, Oshen, Prakash, (Poolside); Shin, Abdul Rahman, Prajiti, Kyi, Christlle, Laxmi, Ocean, Wasim, Marco Nasika, Uwais (Olea restaurant); and Asadbeck (Butler Service). All these plus many more contributed to our terrific stay. Abu Dhabi has so much to offer. Until next time. Read less

We stayed at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort 5* from June 17 to 25, 2025. There were four of us and we took two rooms for two each. Luxurious, spacious rooms. The view from the balcony overlooking the sea is better: directly onto the hotel grounds with a family pool and the beach. But you will have to pay a little extra for it when you book. The view is also good in other rooms. Everywhere there are balconies with a table, chairs and a clothes dryer. Bathrooms with two sinks, a bathtub, a shower in the middle, with a window overlooking the sea. Beautiful and unusual. There are enough pools. One large family pool, maximum depth 1.7 meters. Another for adults. Olea restaurant with a chic buffet, a very varied assortment. Friendly, welcoming staff, always ready to help. All Al kard restaurants are paid, there are no discounts or promotions. We did not go to them, Olea was enough. Breakfast time from 7 to 13 hours, dinner from 18 to 23. Before breakfast we went to the beach, sunbathed, swam, while it was not too hot. The beach is open from 7 am until sunset, towels, drinking water in a bucket with ice are brought. The beach workers, pools, security always greet and help. The sea is clean, turquoise, there were small waves. In front of the entrance, a narrow strip of stones appeared from time to time, somewhere 1 meter wide. Further clean sand, gentle entrance, everything is super. Roe deer come to the golf course every day. Special thanks to the guys who clean the rooms, everything is fast, clear, professional. Thanks to the girl Elena from the reception who checked us in, she explained everything clearly, helped to choose the right room. Read less
