Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Virgin rating

The hotel

This sparkling Jumeirah resort sits on arguably the best stretch of sand on Saadiyat Island, a unique eco-destination which balances luxury with sustainability. It’s easy to see why they’re keen to preserve this beautiful patch of the UAE, with its nesting turtles, visiting dolphins, and twisting mangroves creating a refreshingly unspoilt holiday setting for thoughtful travellers. But, being in tune with initiatives like using reusable water bottles, doesn’t equal missing out on today’s luxuries – and Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort comes with an over-the-top menu of infinity pools (we count three), spa treatments (which are taken in a space with a sumptuous Moroccan hammam twist), and plentiful bars and restaurants (with seven venues created to let you wine and dine your nights away together).

This was our second stay at Jumeirah Saadiyat Island and sixth in Abu Dhabi. As much as we love England, it’s nice to escape the damp and dreary days!

This was our second stay at Jumeirah Saadiyat Island and sixth in Abu Dhabi. As much as we love England, it’s nice to escape the damp and dreary days! From the moment we were picked up at the airport, we had the most amazing experience. The hotel is luxurious, spacious and very clean! However, the best part of the experience was the team, from Marie’s warm welcome to breakfast, Sai at the pool area and Zayn’s ice creams, everyone is attentive and kind. My wife was busy in the UK and I was a bit apprehensive going traveling with our 6 year old son, but we both had the most amazing and relaxing time. We look forward to coming back next year as a family. 🫶 Read less

We have just returned from a 7 night stay and this hotel is outstanding. We have been lucky to stay in other Jumeirah properties in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and I can safely say this is now our favourite.

We have just returned from a 7 night stay and this hotel is outstanding. We have been lucky to stay in other Jumeirah properties in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and I can safely say this is now our favourite. The staff are a credit to the hotel. They look after the guests so well and really are what made our stay so wonderful. A special thank you to Paul who checked us in. All the staff at the White Restaurant especially Raju, Satesh, Rashiel, Gourab and our favourite chef Vijay. They went above and beyond especially with our daughter Neive who has a number of food allergies. She loved her soya milk pancakes each morning. They even arranged breakfast for us to take to the airport when we had an early morning check out. The pool and beach staff are also fantastic. They provided us with water, fresh fruit and ice lollies each day to keep us cool in the heat. Special mention to Edison who we enjoyed chatting to each day. We had the pleasure of meeting Jamal (General Manager) at the drinks reception and he was lovely and took time to speak to our daughter and showed her videos of all the wildlife on Saadiyat Island. Unfortunately we didn’t spot the dolphins this time but we will definitely be back to stay at this wonderful hotel. Thank you for making our holiday so amazing. We loved it. Read less
