Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort will open its doors on November 11, 2018 on the shores of Abu Dhabi.
Surrounded by natural beauty, the contemporary beachfront resort occupies a stunning location on Saadiyat Island, overlooking 400 metres of protected sand dunes. The resort's prime location on the island results in an experience where world class art and culture seamlessly cohabit with mangroves, dolphins and turtles - the original 'guests' of Saadiyat Island. In keeping with its location, the 293 room hotel values sustainable tourism and will be free of plastic straws and single-use plastics bottles.
Just 10 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi and 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport, Saadiyat Island is undergoing a transformation into a world-class leisure, cultural and residential destination, eventually housing the world's largest single concentration of premier cultural assets. These will include Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, the Zayed National Museum and the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which opened last year to international acclaim.
Linda Griffin, GM of Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort, said: "This resort is a place like no other, located footsteps from one of the most beautiful protected beaches in the Arabian Gulf. Every aspect of the resort's design and intended guest experience has been influenced by the beauty of this location. Guests can embrace sunrise yoga, find a secluded spot to watch the sunset, or relax in one of three infinity swimming pools that merge into the sand dunes and, during the turtle nesting season, there will be a special opportunity to see the Hawksbill turtles on the 9km sweeping beachfront. This will be island life at its best."
The property's 293 rooms include eight villas with private pools, 64 suites, and six panoramic suites offering floor-to-ceiling glass walls which can open-up to take advantage of the sea breeze. Guests can enjoy expansive sea views or extended patios and outdoor space from the rooms which overlook the pristine, unspoilt beach and tranquil waters. Throughout the resort the stylish contemporary architecture is decorated with marine themed touches that bring the outside world to life.
