Step inside the Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas and you’ll be greeted by a sense of cool and calm. It starts in the hotel’s spacious lobby area which is clad from top to bottom in marble and glass, before extending out to the palm tree-lined swimming pool and gardens, with the white sands of Saadiyat Beach and the Arabian Sea beyond. It is a feature of the elegant guestrooms and suites too, where cream and white, clever lighting, floor-to-ceiling windows and coastal-themed canvases set the scene of a true sanctuary and one which is an absolute pleasure to be in; the furnished balcony helps with that too. Though this is a family-friendly Abu Dhabi hotel, with a superb Aladdin’s cave kids’ club and cinema for little ones, as well as their own splash pool and slide, it’s a large enough resort for couples or honeymooners to find their own romantic spots, particularly as children are catered for elsewhere in designated areas. So, dip into the spa for a relaxing massage or find yourself a sun lounger on the beach, perhaps grab a cocktail by the pool or get the blood pumping with one of the many outdoor activities available onsite, as Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas doesn’t leave you wanting.

Dining
Seven separate restaurants, private meals on the beach and an in-room dining service make up the tempting gastronomic experience while staying at Saadiyat Rotana Resort and Villas. With such a plethora of options available, meal times really do feature as a highlight of any trip, with Italian favourites served up at Si Ristorante Italiano and Bar; surf and turf at Turtle Bay Bar and Grill; sushi, tapas, Asian and European-inspired classics; even an onsite gastropub, just for good measure. You can enjoy all of this, and plenty more, either within one of the individually themed restaurant spaces, each with their own ambience and menu, or poolside, perhaps by the beach under the shade of a gazebo; the choice is yours, and it is all prepared to a moreish high standard from morning till night.
