The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi

A superb alternative to downtown resorts set amongst calmer environs. Saadiyat Island is wonderful and the beach is one of the best in the Arabian Gulf. Couples looking for a private villa experience may want to look next door at the Park Hyatt.

Plan your trip

Stay at St. Regis Saadiyat

Sat in semi-isolation on the splendid nine-kilometre Saadiyat Beach – one of the finest natural beaches in the Gulf. The St. Regis was one of the first resorts to entice visitors to the natural wonder of Saadiyat Island and over the years has earned and maintained its reputation as one of the premiere places to stay in Abu Dhabi. While newer resorts may have joined it on the island the St Regis still stands proud. And so it should, every detail here feels well planned and thought through. Enjoy chilled out beats and eats at the onsite Buddha Bar Beach and then wander over a wooden walkway to the sand where you may catch sight of an endangered Hawksbill Turtle coming to nest. All this despite being 20 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi.

Location

Enviable. The beachfront resort is framed by the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club and next door to the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Saadiyat Island is 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Rooms

376 rooms set over eight floors. The rooms combine Mediterranean-influenced architecture with neat Arabian touches. Every class of room – from smallest to vast duplex Royal Suite Penthouse – has a private balcony from which to enjoy stunning views of the Gulf, or sumptuous views of the resort itself.

Who is it for

Families or couples looking for a leisure beach vacation within a short drive of the city. It's a great option for golfers and the beach is sublime, but it is a huge complex and lacks a personal touch somewhat.

Facilities & activities

Extensive, some of which are shared with the private residences behind the hotel. Relax at the Iridium Spa. Indulge in some seaside dining at one of six destination bars and restaurants. Play a round at the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. Or exercise at the The St. Regis Athletic Club one of the finest gyms in the city – with a 25 metre indoor lap pool.
