Saadiyat Island Abu Dhabi has a lot to recommend it, including:

This article gives you a preview of three beachfront resorts on Saadiyat Beach.
1. Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas
Located beside the picturesque Kai Beach, the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas is synonymous with sophisticated luxury.
The five-star resort marries contemporary design with traditional Arabian architecture, providing guests with an experience that's as rich in comfort as it is in culture. With over 300 meticulously designed rooms offering panoramic vistas, guests are assured a visual treat, whether they're looking out at the Arabian Sea or the hotel's verdant gardens.
The resort pool is remarkable. It is a sprawling expanse of clear water set against a backdrop of Saadiyat Beach and the vast Arabian Gulf, framed by manicured gardens and swaying palm trees.
No stay at Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas would be complete without exploring the hotel's culinary offerings. With diverse options like.
The Middle Eastern flavours of The Café
The authentic Italian delights of the Beach House
The Argentinian cuisine with a Lebanese twist at Maté
Cocktails at the bohemian-inspired Shala Beach Lounge
Tea or coffee with home-made chocolates and pastries at The Library
Every room, suite and villa exudes elegance and space. From the lavish Park Ocean View Suite to the sprawling Royal Villa Three Bedroom with two private pools, exemplary attention to detail is evident. Essential amenities like free Wi-Fi, digital keys and free parking ensure a hassle-free stay, while the in-house Camp Hyatt for children ensures the little ones are entertained.
The Atarmia Spa, with its array of treatment rooms and dedicated fitness facilities, including a 25-metre lap pool, promises rejuvenation. For fitness enthusiasts, the state-of-the-art gym awaits, and for golf aficionados, there's the 18-hole championship course at the nearby Saadiyat Beach Golf Club.
2. Jumeirah Saadiyat Island
Jumeirah Saadiyat Island is on the same stretch of beach as the Saadiyat Beach Club and is, in fact, just a three-minute drive or a seven-minute walk away from the island's premier beach club. This five-star resort spans 400 metres of protected dunes. Relax on the beach and watch out for dolphins and sea turtles.
The resort seamlessly blends its interiors with the island's natural vistas. The lobby's focal point is an installation of more than 100 droplets of hand-blown Bohemian crystal. It evokes visions of the vibrant marine life of the island.
Families will love their stay in the resort. The staff has planned activities for children of all ages, from beach outings and movie nights to educational games. It also has a dedicated playroom tailored for young guests.
These ensure maximum fun for children and ultimate relaxation for their parents, who can then spend the day relaxing and getting pampered at the spa, where there's a Moroccan hammam, hydrotherapy pools, a steam room, a salt room, and an Arabic rasul room.
Another day, you can spend playing beach volleyball and tennis or kayaking and paddleboarding. No need to go anywhere as the resort has seven food and beverage outlets:
White, all-day dining restaurant
Mare Mare, Italian restaurant
Offside Gastropub, authentic pub experience
The Pool Bar, light bites and drinks
The Lounge, rooftop dining
TEAN, Levantine-inspired grills
Majlis Saadiyat, coffee and pastries
The resort offers many accommodation options, including one-bedroom suites, family rooms, ocean view suites, and duplex villas, and even an opulent five-bedroom beachfront duplex. Every room is meticulously designed and furnished, with plenty of natural light and gorgeous beach and ocean views.

Each of the 327 rooms and suites and the 13 beach villas embodies casual elegance, designed to echo the resort's premium waterfront setting. Noteworthy features include Rotana's signature bed, a 49-inch flat-screen TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, and daily housekeeping.
