Inspired by the century-old legacy of New York’s Astor family, The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi is the city’s first true beach resort. Located on the pristine beach of Saadiyat Island, adjacent to Louvre Abu Dhabi and framed by the Saadiyat Beach Golf Course, this is the ideal destination for the discerning, well-traveled connoisseur. The resort’s guestrooms, all with private terraces, offer panoramic views of the sea, golf course or resort gardens. There are six restaurants and bars, ranging from Mediterranean-influenced Oléa to Sontaya, which serves modern Southeast Asian delicacies. Buddha-Bar Beach Abu Dhabi, the world’s first permanent destination for the concept, brings exquisite Asian-fusion cuisine and cocktails, along with a weekly calendar of outstanding live entertainment that includes internationally renowned guest acts, while MAZI Abu Dhabi introduces the concept of modern Greek dining to the region. The resort also boasts a world-class golf course, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, four swimming pools, a pristine stretch of white sand beach that’s a nesting site for hawksbill turtles, and the signature Iridium Spa, which uses luxury skincare lines for its bespoke wellness rituals.
