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.

Our stay at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort was truly extraordinary from start to finish. Everything exceeded expectations, from the beautiful atmosphere and outstanding service to the warmth and professionalism of every staff member we encountered. A very special thank you to Haydi at reception, who genuinely made our stay a highlight. Her kindness, attention to detail, and sincere care made us feel incredibly welcomed and valued throughout the entire experience. It honestly felt as though she was personally committed to ensuring we had the best stay possible. She raised the bar exceptionally high, and I’m not sure how we’ll be able to stay anywhere else after this experience. The entire team was friendly, attentive, and consistently delivered service with a smile. Thank you for creating such memorable moments for our family. We will definitely be returning. Read less
