Abu Dhabi is set over a series of natural islands, with Saadiyat Island linked to the main island by bridge. Renowned for its beaches and clear turquoise waters, home to Hawksbill turtles and dolphins, Saadiyat is favoured by discerning clientele for its natural beauty. Add to that attentive service, luxurious accommodation and the finest of restaurants and you have the casual yet refined elegance of the St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort.

20 minutes' drive from the airport.

Connected to Abu Dhabi's main island by a bridge, Saadiyat Island is just seven minutes' drive from downtown Abu Dhabi.

The 376 chic and stylish rooms and suites are decorated with a cool Mediterranean flair. Each has a balcony and includes air conditioning, shared butler service, flat screen TV, iPod docking station, complimentary WiFi and a refreshment centre. Bathrooms have been thoughtfully designed using glass and marble to give a real feeling of light and space, and feature double vanities, a rain shower and separate bath. Superior Rooms have views of the courtyard/city, while Partial Sea View Rooms offer a glimpse of the sea, and Premium Sea View Rooms enjoy stunning Arabian Gulf views that can be enjoyed from the comfort of a relaxing bath or from your furnished terrace. There are also five categories of suite: we recommend the Ocean Suites with their separate living room and dining room, and a choice of one or two bedrooms, or the Majestic Suite which has two bedrooms, an open-plan living/dining area, an oversized terrace with sun loungers and a private pool with spectacular views of the ocean, both perfect for families.

Oléa, the resort’s all-day dining restaurant, offers delicious Mediterranean dishes from live cooking stations and an unmissable dessert counter, while Sontaya’s floating pavilions, contemporary Asian-style décor and varied menu of Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian soups, noodles and curries make it truly special. Prepare to discover something fresh and new at Buddha-Bar Beach Abu Dhabi; on the beachfront, serving lunch and dinner al fresco, plus a world-famous selection of cocktails from master mixologists, accompanied by live entertainment and DJs, Buddha-Bar Beach Abu Dhabi is ‘the’ place to be seen.
