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. Pamper yourself at the world-class Iridium Spa where you can tailor make your own experience. There is also tennis and squash for those that are more active.

The butler will take care of all restaurant bookings, is on hand for queries, and will even run your bath for you before u get up to the room! The beach is the centrepiece though. It is stunning.

As with most UAE hotels of this standard, the service is excellent in all departments. We went during Ramadan and the buffet restaurant was serving mainly Middle Eastern cuisine which got a bit boring, however the chef lalit and managers offered to make whatever we asked for. The Indian food in particular is fantastic. The Thai restaurant is also fantastic. Just a shame there aren’t more food options for vegetarians outside of the buffet and Thai. There was only one BIG let down. The pools were cold for most of our stay. The weather was windy and this was the reason but it was such a disappointment as you take a warm pool in the UAE as a given, especially at the prices being charged. Read less

We recently enjoyed a most fabulous 8 night stay at the St Regis during Ramadan. Everything was more than five star and we were treated like royalty. The hotel and its facilities are amazing and is situated on a pristine, white sandy beach, our favourite in Abu Dhabi. Our list of thank you’s is endless, but we just wanted to mention some of those wonderful people who looked after us. Front Office Elena - super efficient at check-in and so warm and friendly. In the Olea Restaurant Gratia, Shandra, Dede, Shin, Dea and Fernando - thank you for all your kindness and extra treats! You are a credit to the Hotel. Chef Lalit Singh overseeing all our needs with great professionalism - good luck with the arrival of your son in May. Yojan in the adult pool and all the guys at the beach. Our AMAZING butler service Christelle, Murtuza and Asadbek - our every need catered for in a most excellent and polished manner. Edwin in the Lemoni Garden - thank you for our marvellous sabrage experience and John in the Manhattan bar for mixing up those terrific bloody Mary’s. Finally Panda in the Santaya Restaurant. What an incredible team! We can’t wait to return. Read less

Zubair was the best at the guest experience. Didn’t stay at the hotel but it was very great with the services in the lobby. I came here for 3 days straight. He also was always there helping us when we needed him. The hotel lobby is Vern cozy and quiet. Great place!
