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 visit St. Regis, Saadiyat Island, at least twice a year and have done so for the last 10+ years - it has never failed to provide the most excellent service from the moment of arrival to departure there is no decline in standards. The hotel is clean and standards are to an exceptional height. Their new restaurant - Sophia - delivers exceptional mediterranean cusine in an ambience befitting their latest new dining extravaganza. The staff at the Sophia managed and supervised by Govin,Levane, Cyrel and Amir are extremely helpful and the chefs Anand and John deliver food adventures that deserve to be explored. Not to be forgotten in Jun the mixologist who will serve you some of his excellent cocktails produced from ingredients that will surprise you - including onions! Of course the Olea restaurant is the hub for eating with a buffet style that is exceptional and offers more options than you could ever wish for, and if that wasn't enough just speak with Chef Lalit who will ensure that your every culinary wish is catered for. Chef Ali produces the best ever tenderloin steaks and staff in this area such as Shan , Shin, Abdul and many others are so welcoming and helpful. If the great outdoors are what you are looking for there is the beach and the pool areas for both family and adults only. The staff here such as Panda, William, Madhu and Francis go the extra mile for all their clients each and every day. This hotel has become our home from home where relaxation and a feeling of serenity and well being are allowed to flow over you each day of your stay. Read less

This was our first time at a St Regis hotel and I suspect it will not be our last. We will probably be back to this one actually! It is a stunning hotel with service that goes above and beyond. Excellent food selection and a breakfast that goes on till 1pm! Few names to call out for excellent service. In Olea - Shan, Alfina, Manisha and Kyi. In the pool area - Madhu. There were 4 of us and we had interconnecting rooms. Bright and spacious with balconies. The bathroom was great and the shower was the best I've seen in a hotel. The pools are nice and the beach is lovely. There are activities that can be done in the sand area - rock climbing, archery, swings, beach volleyball - so you won't get bored. The Athletic Club is a few mins walk from the hotel. The facilities are really good. We played squash one night - the courts are good. There is also an outdoor tennis court, indoor lap pool and sauna and steam. There are also St Regis residences so if you do need anything, there is a Spinneys in the complex and some other restaurants and shops. If you plan on venturing out, it's not far into downtown Abu Dhabi. I went to Galleria Mall on Al Maryah Island, which was very impressive. Last thing - the hibiscus drink in reception (made by the barman in the Manhattan Lounge) is absolutely delicious! Read less

Perfect ambiance for a night out. We had pandan chicke, pad thai, green curry and nasi goreng. For desert, we had mango sticky rice and asian pavlova. Tin and Adit were so helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. They gave us the best food ever.

Special mention to Adil (Transport) Angelica(reception) and Hausman (pool)… to all the staff who serviced our room every day thank you. The beach is exceptional - real sand - unlike the mess they have created in Dubai. A return visit is on the cards in 2026. Thanks again to everyone at the hotel for treating my family with such grace and courtesy. Read less
