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 Saadiyat Island 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).

This hotel is beyond outstanding. I don't know where to start. It is just a few steps away from the most incredible beach – turquoise calm waters, white sand, beautiful rooms. It has a Lebanese and Italian restaurant that are so fresh and delicious, we stayed for a while and never found anything we didn't love on the menu. And then, the staff... They are so kind, attentive, and always willing to accommodate any requests to make sure you're happy. I can't recommend this enough. Read less

Absolutely amazing staff and hotel! Location wise it is further out but for the quality of the beach and service, it is well worth it. Sun sets are beautiful and so were the evening walks on the beach. Good variety of restaurants and the staff go out of their way to help.

A beautiful hotel with equally beautiful rooms. Positioned on the gorgeous sands of saddiyat island , this hotel has it all. The one thing that set the standard was their staff, so many to mention and they were all fantastic but some of them names that stood out were Grace, Nasim and Sai from the pool bar, Edison, such a lovely guy would always help you out and stop for a daily chat, Nehal from Tean- amazing food in this restaurant, and Titli, Ye Min and Jaoued from Mare mare. So many more including all the life guards, beach staff, breakfast staff and housekeeping. Thanks for an amazing stay. We will be back. Read less

This was one of the best stays ever for our little ones. The staff was incredibly attentive, with a remarkable eye for detail. I would like to thank all the chefs for the delicious meals. My husband and I are both very particular about the quality of food, and I can confidently say that every dish was both flavourful and of excellent quality. A heartfelt thank you also goes to the restaurant team, especially Shan (whom my child asked for the moment we arrived), Saqlain, Gourab, and Naeim. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy calm, stress-free breakfast and dinners, as they did everything possible to make each meal easier for us. The service was impeccable. I’d also like to thank the Kids Club staff, who were absolutely lovely with the children and always came up with creative and engaging activities. A final big thank you to the person who ensured our room was always perfect and every day a special detail. And last but certainly not least, Hager—thank you so much for the beautiful surprise on our wedding anniversary. I was truly touched by all the thoughtful details. Thank you for making it magical.
