Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas is a contemporary beachfront sanctuary on Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island, blending modern Arabian architecture with natural elegance and cultural resonance.
Set along a pristine 9-kilometer stretch of white sand, this five-star resort offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, just minutes from the Saadiyat Cultural District—home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and other world-class institutions. The resort’s design features modern Arabic architecture, towering palm-lined walkways, and tranquil water features, creating a seamless connection between built form and the surrounding coastal landscape.
The property includes:
– 327 rooms and suites and 13 private beach villas, each styled with contemporary interiors and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of the Arabian Gulf.
– A strong eco-conscious ethos, with design and landscaping that protect the nesting grounds of the endangered Hawksbill sea turtles native to Saadiyat’s shores.
– Seven dining venues, including Turtle Bay Bar & Grill and Si Ristorante Italiano, each designed with distinct architectural identities and open-air layouts.
– Zen the Spa, a wellness retreat with Moroccan and Turkish hammams, and a design language that emphasizes natural textures and soft lighting.
The resort’s layout encourages exploration, with meandering garden paths, open courtyards, and beachfront lounges that invite guests to unwind in a setting that feels both expansive and intimate. Whether for leisure or events, Saadiyat Rotana offers a compelling blend of cultural proximity, environmental sensitivity, and modern luxury.
