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.

Even small things like the staff walking around w a basket of croissants offering the guests sitting down makes such a huge difference and adding to the 5star experience. Thank you.

From the very first moment, the reception team at St. Regis Saadiyat showed exceptional professionalism and warmth. After a long journey, the fast and seamless check-in was a true relief. The reception staff went above and beyond, making me feel genuinely welcome. One of the highlights of my stay was the outstanding breakfast service, available until as late as 1pm – something almost impossible to find in other hotels. For me, this was exceptional, as it allowed me to truly relax, enjoy a late morning, and make the most of my vacation. Special thanks to Mr. Hassan at the restaurant for his kind service, for introducing the daily varied menus, and for serving me a truly delicious Mexican taco. Elegant rooms, superb dining, world-class facilities, and such thoughtful details make this hotel a true gem. I will gladly return! 🌟 Read less
