Pristine white sand leading into the iridescent waters of Abu Dhabi Creek, a swimming pool surrounded by gently swaying palm trees and unrivalled views of the white minarets of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Who could want a more picturesque setting for their Spring escape?
Nestled in the heart of the serene Khor Al Maqta area of Abu Dhabi, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr promises an oasis of activity and relaxation from an ideal location in the capital. A 20-minute drive to the family theme parks of Yas Island and the picturesque Abu Dhabi Corniche, the property — whose name means ‘door to the sea’ in Arabic — invites guests to get away from it all this Spring in one of its 366 spacious, elegant rooms and suites that come with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the Grand Mosque and creek.
For pure luxury, treat yourself to the Fairmont Gold experience, which includes private check-in, access to an exclusive library and reading room, full buffet breakfast, afternoon tea and sweets, evening drinks and canapés, and a private butler to tend to all your whims.
Gourmands have the pick of eight venues. For carnivores, head to the flame-lit walls of Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill and savour fine cuts of grilled cuisine, accompanied by an extensive wine selection. Or if you prefer traditional and authentic Italian dishes, make a date with Marco’s Italian.
Those with a taste for sushi can indulge in the ultra-modern Café Sushi, while gastronomes with a preference for Mediterranean cuisine with a side of Abu Dhabi’s cityscape should call into the antiques laden Mazaj Bab Al Bahr. If you’re looking for something a bit more casual, check into Bridges Bar for pub cuisine and football.
Spare some time to explore the surrounding area and you will find the entertainment hub of Al Qana that is home to the Middle East’s largest aquarium, mega VR and e-sports facility Pixel Gaming and adrenaline zone Adrenark Adventure. Or simply kick back by the pool or beach and soak up those spring rays alongside a cool cocktail.
Book the Spring Getaway offer and you will get 15 per cent off your stay alongside daily breakfast and a further 15 per cent saving on selected restaurants within the property.
