An award-winning concept with a presence in Dubai, SAL Saadiyat Island has taken up residence in the capital.
Regulars at Burj Al Arab already know it — when it comes to the ultimate in poolside luxury, SAL is the place to beat thanks to private cabanas, a menu inspired by the Iberian Peninsula, and a 100-metre infinity pool deck. Now, the award-winning concept reminiscent of lifestyle destinations in Capri or Saint-Tropez has debuted an outpost at Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort, bringing its take on French Riviera chic to Abu Dhabi’s well-heeled. And like its predecessor, SAL Saadiyat Island is set to deliver a sophisticated and relaxed dining experience, this time in a stunning beachfront setting.
Visitors can expect an exquisite culinary experience that features SAL favourites – think King Crab & Homemade Trenette Pasta and Sea Salt Crusted Sea Bass – while soaking in the uninterrupted views across the clear azure waters, pristine beach, and stunning sunsets of Saadiyat Island. Housed in a contemporary mirrored venue, reflecting the beautiful surroundings and blending seamlessly with the environment, SAL Saadiyat Island is the ideal setting for relaxing and socialising, boasting a dedicated infinity swimming pool and its own section of beach for those wanting to make a day of it.
“Jumeirah has earned an exceptional reputation in the dining scene, and we’re proud to be leading in that space as a luxury hotel group,” says Spencer Ayers, Senior Vice President of Jumeirah Group. “With some of our signature restaurants receiving international recognition from Michelin and Gault&Millau, and SAL becoming one of Dubai’s must-visit lifestyle destinations, our success in curating exceptional dining destinations is a testament to our commitment towards delivering distinctive experiences for our guests.”
Taking the reins at SAL is Head Chef Vincenzo Nigro. He joins the venue with two decades of experience, having worked with some of the world’s best-known luxury hotels across Australia, Mauritius, Russia and the UAE. Set against an alluring backdrop of azure waters, SAL joins a line-up of award-winning culinary experiences at Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort including Levantine-inspired restaurant Tean and beachfront Italian eatery Mare Mare.
