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. Downtown Abu Dhabi is a short taxi ride away with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy.

We live in Abu Dhabi and decided to stay at St Regis for the National Day long weekend. The hotel is incredible with top class facilities, including white beach with clear water, infinity pool and food options. Service was exceptional across especially at the breakfast buffet. A special should out to Mirza at the breakfast restaurant Olea - he is super attentive and CUSTOMER OBSESSED. He would go out of the way to cater to our family needs. If you need a crash course in Customer First , please request Mirza to be your server for the day. It will be the highlight of your stay. Would definitely visit again !!! Read less
