‘Eco-conscious’ resort opens

01 January 2019

Jumeirah Group, a global luxury hospitality company and a member of Dubai Holding, has announced the opening of Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort in Abu Dhabi, the group’s first luxury “eco-conscious” resort.

The resort overlooks 400 m of sand dunes and provides a luxurious, family-friendly and environmentally-sensitive holiday destination, just 10 minutes drive from Abu Dhabi city centre.

Saadiyat Island is undergoing a remarkable transformation into a world-class leisure, culturally connected and residential destination.

The resort is only 10 minutes away from Yas Island, famous for hosting the annual Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Yas Mall (the second largest mall in the UAE) and a variety of world-class theme parks including Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World and the recently opened Warner Bros World.

Located on 9 km of white sand beach on the shores of the Arabian Gulf, the resort offers each guest a front-row seat to beautiful scenery and undisturbed wildlife.

The hotel comprises 293 well-designed modern, sunlit rooms that overlook the open ocean, six panoramic suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies, plus eight private two-, three- and four-bedroom villas with their own private pools. It also includes three outdoor infinity pools, a kids’ pool and the very first Bodyism Wellness Centre in the UAE.

The resort’s lavish 2,700-sq-m spa features a grand Moroccan hammam and 15 treatment rooms with male and female facilities.

The resort offers a variety of restaurants and lounges while golf aficionados can enjoy the close proximity to Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, the Arabian Gulf’s first beachfront course.

“This resort is a place like no other. Located next to one of the most spectacular beaches in the Arabian Gulf, every aspect of the resort’s design has been influenced by the beauty of this location,” says Linda Griffin, Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort general manager.

“Our commitment to protecting the natural sand dunes and sea around this hotel means that we are also continuously trying to minimise the impact that guests have on this environment by bringing in our own environment-friendly solutions and working with partners who are dedicated to employing sustainable, ethical practices in their businesses,” says Griffin.
