The UAE named the best place for a beach holiday

Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi was named the best place for a beach holiday in the Middle East.

Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island has been named the Middle East’s Leading Beach Destination for the 11th time by World Travel Awards and has confirmed its place in the #BestBeach Middle East ranking.

The island is home to the best five-star resorts: Jumeriah at Saadiyat Island Resort, Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas and The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort.

The island is also a protected area where guests can admire wild animals in their natural habitat. Arabian gazelles are often seen near the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, and on the coast visitors can encounter the caretta, an endangered turtle that nests every season on Saadiyat Island’s pristine beaches.

In the island’s cultural quarter, guests can visit the famous Louvre Abu Dhabi, which features magnificent architecture and an extensive art collection open to the public, and Manarat Al Saadiyat, a place designed for creative expression and offering a wide range of cultural events, interactive exhibitions, art classes, social events and performances all year round.

Saadiyat is also a wellness and rejuvenation center with top-notch spas for yoga and health promotion. Saadiyat Island Spas is an innovative, comprehensive suite of health, fitness and beauty services.
