DSCVR Partnership: Embrace island living at Saadiyat Island’s most luxe resort.
The picturesque shoreline of Saadiyat Island has long been a draw for day-trippers and staycationers visiting Abu Dhabi. Nestled in the heart of the action lies the exceptional Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas, which is more than just a place to lay your head. From destination dining to sumptuous staycations, here are five ways to kick back and experience a touch of island life this summer.
Luxurious Living
Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas offers a collection of 306 luxurious suites and villas, boasting ample space and a relaxed ambience. Each of the rooms is characterised by a contemporary design and comes fully equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions, Nespresso machines, and a well-stocked minibar. With a comfortable bed, plush robes and slippers, an open-plan marble bathroom and a substantial terrace – there’s no better place to embrace island living.
Pool & Beach
When embarking on a Saadiyat getaway, there is no better experience than the island’s pristine natural beaches. Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas’ palm-fringed infinity pool and private beach are exceptional, providing an idyllic setting for basking in the sun on cosy sun loungers. The breathtaking views and the crystal-clear waters create an ideal environment for a blissful day of swimming and chilling. A natural habitat for dolphins and turtles, the Blue Flag-certified beach offers a luxurious escape that brings guests back to nature.
Lunch at Beach House
If al fresco dining is your thing, head to Beach House for a meal backed by a picturesque seaside setting. Inspired by the Mediterranean, this laid-back restaurant presents a fusion of Italian, Spanish, and Middle Eastern flavours across a seafood-focused menu. Expect pasta, risottos, and a variety of main courses, such as beef tagliata and a bountiful seafood platter. With its captivating view of the Saadiyat waters, Beach House provides a relaxed and serene ambience, making it the perfect island escape.
Sundowners at Shala
Inspired by the Sanskrit word for ‘home,’ Shala was conceived to foster a community of like-minded individuals. Lounge and sip on soulful cocktails and the flavourful menu as you bask in the panoramic view of the sparkling sea and sun-kissed Arabian sands. Shala Beach Lounge offers a menu of diverse cuisine that is thoughtfully curated and designed for sharing. The rich design aesthetics of the rooftop venue marry the four elements of nature – fire, water, air and earth into one barefoot haven. Expect a long bar, a fire pit, and cosy furniture made out of natural wood complimented with white fabrics.
Dinner at Maté
Maté offers a unique culinary journey that combines elements from Argentina and Lebanon, transcending mere food and drink. Step into an inviting atmosphere where the interior design effortlessly blends comfort with sophistication, creating an energetic yet serene ambience. Maté’s signature dishes are masterfully prepared on an open-fire brick grill and charcoal embers. Notable highlights from the menu include Yerba Maté Smoked Beef Tartare, Ember-Cooked Scallops with Burnt Avocado, Charcoal-Grilled Sweet Potato drizzled with Brown Butter, and the Wagyu Tomahawk, theatrically flamed and sliced tableside to elevate the culinary experience.
