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).

It is always a relaxing vacation at Jumeirah Saadiyat Island Resort. The entire staff is very service oriented and always willing to fulfill all wishes even without additional charge. The hotel itself is beautiful and you can always find a calm spot even with sometimes having kids around you. The hotel is family friendly but also perfect for someone without kids, a very good mixture. The beach is insane and probably the most beautiful in entire UAE. We have been there for the third time and for sure will come back soon. Read less

Very grateful to “Hager” from the guest relations he was very special and careful in his attention to the smallest details the guest needs. The entire staff is cheerful and cooperative, especially the receptionist, Yassin, for his treatment, professionalism, and good manners. Prices are considered high, but the visit will not be forgotten and will not be the last 👍🏻 Read less

Saadiyat has the best beach in Abu Dhabi, so that greatly contributed to me having a good stay at the Jumeirah. The rooms are beautiful and modern, but service could have been better.

The staff at the breakfast was not particularly friendly nor efficient, and the person who did my checkout appeared grumpy and didn’t even ask how my stay was. However, the staff at the SPA were very friendly (and the massage was excellent), as well as the Filippino staff at the Coffee Shop. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to service and friendliness of the staff Read less
