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 pools (we count four), 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).

We cannot rate this hotel highly enough, from the grounds to the hotel itself. We first stayed in 2019 shortly after it opened and it is as imaculately kept five years on. The staff were so genuinely friendly and quickly remebered our names. We could go on and thank a list of people, those in particular were Amir poolside, Marie in Whites restaurant and Mr Raju manager of Whites restaurant. We really wanted to keep this hotel a secret and have only posted a review once before many years ago. We hope to visit again soon. Read less

I have recently spent 7 nights at this stunning, luxuries hotel where the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. I was half board basis and the quality of food was exceptional. I started the day with a superb breakfast buffet with ample food choices. The buffet food for dinner was restaurant quality and again ample choice My deluxe ocean view room was perfect. The bed, duvet and pillows were extremely comfortable and I was impressed with the relax mode lighting option. All this set on a pristine beach with crystal blue waters that match the Maldives had me wanting more. Needless to say, I have booked again for next year. Without any hesitation Jumeirah Saadiyat Island gets a 10 out of 10 from me. Read less
