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 first visit to this hotel and it really could not have been any more perfect. The staff are all welcoming, friendly and so helpful. The breakfast buffet is all you could ever want and more and the restaurant decor is beautiful. Amir at the pool was there every morning to help with absolutely anything, such a friendly and joyful person. We loved the fact that there was an adult pool and it was pretty much empty the whole time we were there. Cheikh at the Pool bar also looked after us every day with milkshakes and lunch, nothing was too much trouble and always had a smile. The beach is pure heaven and we were lucky enough to see dolphins. We visited Mare Mare - excellent, Offside - excellent and Sal which was superb. Keep up the great work Jumeirah Saadiyat you really are the best. Read less

In Ferbuar and March 2024, I spent wonderful weeks at the excellent Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort. For the third time, by the way! The resort has become a favourite place for me in recent years. From the moment you arrive, you feel very welcome! The reception crew know how to fulfil almost every wish with a smile on their faces and are patient and empathetic. Thanks to ALL !!! for the wonderful stay...especially to Ms Hager. Last year I already wrote a detailed report. Today I would like to write about the Offside Gastropub...The informal atmosphere, the friendly service, thank you Camilla and Levi and of course all the staff and especially the kitchen...the food is always tiptop! (as everywhere in the resort!) I loved the Ceasar Salad and the fresh mussels. These, like all the other dishes, are highly recommended. Delicious and freshly prepared and served with lots of love! I will gladly come back... Read less

We have stayed at the Jumeriah Saadiyat twice our last holiday October 2023. We are a family of 5 we returned with friends and their children too so a total of 10. Just getting round to writing our review now. This is an excellent hotel (we have stayed in the Jumeriah in Dubai several times and booked Majorca too). Attention to details is very good for a larger hotel. Buffet is very good, service also excellent. Eddison is always so lovely to see by the pool, nothing is ever too much trouble. Beach beautiful too, we highly recommend. Read less
