Jumeirah Is the Official Hospitality Partner for NOMAD Fair’s Debut in Abu Dhabi
Jumeirah Saadiyat Island takes centre stage as the city’s cultural story unfolds
Saadiyat Island has always felt like a masterpiece of nature. Its white sands and turquoise waters hold the kind of energy that draws in not only visitors but also creatives. Just ten minutes from Abu Dhabi’s city centre, this stretch of coast has become the capital’s cultural heart, home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and soon to be joined by the Zayed National Museum, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and the Natural History Museum opening later this month. Together, they make it clear that Abu Dhabi is the place to be for those who appreciate art, heritage, and innovation — and at the heart of it all sits Jumeirah Saadiyat Island.
This month, the brand becomes the official hospitality partner of NOMAD Fair as it makes its Middle East debut at Abu Dhabi Art Week. Taking place in the decommissioned Terminal 1 at Zayed International Airport from November 19 to November 22, the event offers a memorable setting. And for select guests at Jumeirah Saadiyat Island, there’s the added perk of exclusive access to experiences beyond the official programme, such as collectors’ previews, panel discussions and other private events.
Known for reimagining how art, architecture, and design are experienced, NOMAD fair finds its only original showcase, Shifting Terrains, inside the Jumeirah Saadiyat Island’s lobby itself, curated by its founder, Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte. After viewings, guests can retreat to their sea-facing suites, sip a coffee at the beach, or unwind at the property’s award-winning spa.
Guests staying at Jumeirah Saadiyat Island are invited to take part in the creative exchange, getting exclusive access to patron previews at both NOMAD and the Abu Dhabi Art Fair at Manarat Al Saadiyat. It’s like a backstage pass to the region’s most exciting cultural week, with the added luxury of knowing that downtime at the beach is only a few steps away.
Whether the goal is to discover the next big name in contemporary art or simply to soak up the island’s beauty, Jumeirah Saadiyat Island is where you need to be to witness Abu Dhabi’s cultural spirit truly come to life.
