The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort

Jump to:

Standing on a stretch of white sand within easy reach of cultural highlights like the Louvre Abu Dhabi, The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort offers a luxurious base for exploring the city. Its Mediterranean-inspired buildings sit within sprawling manicured gardens that open up directly onto the broad beach and clear, cerulean waters of the Gulf. You’ll find three outdoor pools to choose from on the sun-soaked grounds — including an adults-only pool and a children’s pool with waterfalls, caves, and toys — as well as plenty of loungers to unwind on with a book or a cocktail.

The facilities inside are equally impressive. At The St. Regis Athletic Club, you could work out in the gym, join a studio fitness class, swim in the indoor pool, or enjoy a game of squash. Alternatively, treat yourself to a rejuvenating treatment at The St. Regis Spa. The hotel also has six superb bars and restaurants on site, serving an array of local and international cuisine.

Rooms and suites are spacious and modern, all with private balconies or terraces where you can admire the views over the gardens or the shimmering Gulf. You’ll additionally have access to a 24-hour butler service to attend to any requests you may have, day or night.

OUR OPINION:

Everything about this hotel oozes luxury, from the first-rate facilities to the personal butler service. We love how its location gives you direct access to the beach while also putting you close to the city’s top museums.

Rooms

You have an array of Mediterranean-inspired rooms and suites to choose from, all featuring spacious marble bathrooms and a 24-hour butler service. Each also has a private balcony or terrace with views over the beach or gardens. Inside, the design palette reflects the hotel’s surroundings, with splashes of ocean turquoise and sunset red adding vibrancy to sand-hued whites and browns.

To give your stay an extra touch of luxury, you might like to opt for a specialist suite. For example, the Majestic Suite comes with its own private pool on the terrace, while the Spa Suite features a couple’s massage room and hammam.

Location

The hotel is located directly on a wide, white-sand beach on Saadiyat Island, overlooking the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club and the turquoise waters of the Gulf. Staying here puts you within a ten-minute drive of the Cultural District — home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi — and 20 minutes from the Corniche and Yas Island. The airport is a 25-minute drive away.
