On a serene stretch of pristine white sand where the iridescent waters of the Arabian Gulf gently meld with the Abu Dhabi coastline, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island is a tranquil escape from the UAE capital. A haven where Arabian gazelles roam freely and frolicking dolphins beckon travellers into the sea, stays here immerse guests in a world of endless experiences and opportunities.
Anyone ready to discover the allure of the enchanting surroundings of Saadiyat Island would do well to check into one of the property’s 288 guestrooms, where suites come replete with a lush garden or your own pool for whenever you wish to enjoy a dip. Choose the Two-Bedroom Suite with a private pool and you will be greeted with emerald hues, white marbled floors and a beautiful outdoor area where comfy sunbeds and a pool await. Or why not elevate your experience with a stay at one of the 12 villas at Club Privé by Rixos Saadiyat Island; a home-away-home where up to 10 friends and family can luxuriate on shores of the Arabian Gulf in more than 300 square metres of elegance and comfort.
If you’re travelling with little ones, three of the resort’s 11 categories of rooms and suites cater specially to a family’s needs. The Two-Bedroom Family Room is all about shimmering turquoises and Aegean blues against crisp white and cream furnishings. What’s more, kids can hop out of bed and jump straight into a pool enclosed by swaying palm trees.
Having a splash in the pool isn’t the only activity for little ones. The signature Rixy Kids Club sets junior jetsetters up with a programme of exciting escapades including the water wonderland of the aqua park, which features water slides, a wave pool and water sprinklers. If they prefer to stay on terra firma, kids can express their creative side with an art class or release their inner athlete with a game of football or dodgeball. There’s even a Rixy Disco where they can show off their moves during a dance-off. Even older kids can get in on the fun with Teens Club offering gaming tournaments and the chance to learn new skills at entertaining workshops.
While the children are taken care of, mum and dad will find a plethora of experiences to enjoy during their stay. Keep on top of your workout progress with a session in the state-of-the-art gym or embrace the new HIIT craze Tabata with a masterclass at the property’s Exclusive Sports Club before taking to the water for Aqua Fitmat and paddleboarding. Or make an appointment for an indulgent treatment at Anjana Spa. The largest spa on the island, the award-winning wellness centre offers a wealth of rituals, signature treatments, a traditional Turkish hammam and the innovative Snow Room for a day of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Eleven distinct culinary venues welcome gourmands to test their taste buds upon a delectable selection of gastro options. Chic all-day dining concept Turquoise and à la carte restaurants like L’Olivo Ristorante and Mermaid Restaurant tempt guests to sample Italian and Mediterranean cuisines; a trip around Turkey can be tasted at the Silk Road-inspired Orient Restaurant; while Aja Restaurant serves up Teppanyaki action alongside sake, sushi and live entertainment. For those seeking a more casual hangout, call into the kaleidoscopic People’s Restaurant for lunch before sipping on alfresco drinks at Âme Beach Bar or a nightcap at luxurious Bar Lounge.
As part of the ALL Inclusive Collection, guests are treated to premium, elevated services and curated activities, as well as an unlimited supply of exquisite dining and free-flowing beverages. With all whims and wants ready to be satisfied, all guests have to do is relax: Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island has everything covered.
