Edition #2 of Luxury Travel Journal OOO Calls for Regenerating in Style
Accenting pristine nature and protected wildlife with luxury living and culture offerings, Saadiyat Island Abu Dhabi is no ordinary escape
Between the literal translation of its name – Island of Happiness – and its reputation as the leading beach destination in the Middle East, Saadiyat Island Abu Dhabi is a no-brainer if you’re staying put this summer. Big projects and bold ambitions reign on this 27 km² island, translating into seemingly countless opportunities for staycationers looking to immerse in nature, expand their culinary horizons, join the party crowd, play a round of golf, or simply take a little time for dolce far niente.
Saadiyat Island, however, remains unparalleled owing to its art and culture scene. Collectively, Louvre Abu Dhabi and Abrahamic Family House make Saadiyat Cultural District an address where intellectual curiosity is both encouraged and satiated.
Still, it’s easy living in a tropical idyll – complete with soft sand, shady palms, a warm surf, and a cold drink – that most getaway dreams are made of, and Saadiyat Island has such elements to spare.
From Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel And Villas, the region’s first beachfront golf course teases the Tuscan coast and its rolling hills. The boutique resort of Nurai Island echoes the amenities and activities of the Maldives, inviting guests over for a sliver of paradise.
Elsewhere, Saadiyat Beach Club brings home the refined indulgence of the Hamptons. As for the sweeping white sand and turquoise waters of Soul Beach? Think Bondi Beach, but without the jet lag. And with luxury resorts like Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort and The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort hugging the coastline and boasting uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf, this is your cue to pack up and experience it all — without the fuss of travel, of course.
