Jumeirah’s first eco-conscious, single-use-plastic-free, earthy-yet-luxurious beachfront resort offers a front-row seat to 400 metres of sweeping white Arabian Gulf sands, beautiful scenery and undisturbed wildlife.

Every aspect of the design has been influenced by the beauty of pristine Saadiyat Island, including its ultra-swanky rooms and suites, and slick two- to four-bedroom duplex pool villas. There’s something for the young and young at heart with three infinity pools, on-site kids’ and teens’ clubs, and the UAE’s first Bodyism Wellness Centre. And, with the beach here being one of the capital’s most private, you’ve found the perfect recipe for a refined slice of majestic island life.
