Three hundred and seventy-seven rooms on Saadiyat Island — Abu Dhabi's cultural island development with the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the upcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. The St. Regis butler standard beach resort with 9-mile Saadiyat Beach.
"377 rooms on Saadiyat Island with 9-mile beach. The St. Regis butler beach-resort answer with Louvre Abu Dhabi proximity."
The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort opened in November 2011 on Saadiyat Island — the man-made island off Abu Dhabi's coast that the UAE government has developed as the country's cultural island, with the Louvre Abu Dhabi (opened November 2017), the upcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and the upcoming Zayed National Museum — as one of the first major luxury hotel openings on the cultural island. The 377 rooms across the property's main building have substantial Arabian Gulf views from the upper floors and direct access to the property's allocation of the 9-mile Saadiyat Beach.
The 377 accommodations split between the entry-level Superior Rooms (with city or partial-Gulf views), Sea View Rooms (with direct Arabian Gulf views), the Premier Sea View Suites with substantial private balconies, the Junior Suites with butler-served Club access, and the multi-bedroom Suites including the Royal Suite (the property's flagship single accommodation). Every room gets the St. Regis Butler — the brand's signature service feature — and the post-2011-opening contemporary modern interiors with substantial Emirati craft accents.
The grounds — the property's 200 metres of private beach allocation on Saadiyat Beach (one of the more expansive luxury hotel beach allocations in Abu Dhabi), three swimming pools, the comprehensive Iridium Spa, the fitness centre, the on-property water sports programme, and the multi-restaurant complex — make St. Regis Saadiyat comprehensively-equipped. The Saadiyat Beach is one of the few protected nesting beaches for hawksbill turtles in the UAE; the resort runs turtle-conservation programming during nesting season.
Dining is at multiple restaurants. Olea is the headline contemporary Mediterranean. Sontaya is the Asian. The St. Regis Bar is the cocktail venue with the brand's signature Bloody Mary variation. The wine programme is comprehensive. Service is the consistent global St. Regis butler standard delivered by a heavily UAE team. The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort is the cultural-island Abu Dhabi answer for travellers who want the substantial-beach setting with the brand's signature butler service and proximity to the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
The Abu Dhabi anniversary at the St. Regis Saadiyat. Book a Sea View Suite. Olea Mediterranean fine-dining; the Iridium Spa programme; the morning beach access; the Louvre Abu Dhabi day visit. The combination of the cultural-island setting and the St. Regis butler standard produces the polished Saadiyat anniversary.
The Abu Dhabi honeymoon at the St. Regis Saadiyat. The 9-mile beach; the Louvre Abu Dhabi proximity; Olea dinner; the St. Regis butler service. Different from the iconic-palace Emirates Palace setting — for couples who want the cultural-island beach-resort experience.
The St. Regis Saadiyat's substantial private beach allocation, the Sea Hawksbill turtle-nesting programme (an actual conservation programme children can participate in during nesting season), the multi-bedroom suites, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi proximity work well for cultural-and-beach family Abu Dhabi trips.
