PB hotel design editorial

Saadiyat Island was conceived as Abu Dhabi's cultural district — the address chosen for the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi — and it is into this charged, aspirational landscape that the St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort was delivered in 2011, spread across a long stretch of natural beach with the Abu Dhabi skyline visible in the distance. The architecture, executed in a warm Mediterranean-Andalusian register, presents cream stucco facades, terracotta-tiled rooflines, and corner belvedere towers that give the 378-room property a resort grammar closer to the Algarve than the Gulf — a deliberate softening that distances it from the gleaming verticality of the city across the water. Internally, the interiors balance two distinct moods. Guest rooms deploy teak-panelled walls with louvred screens, ceiling fans set within coffered surrounds, botanical-print headboards in sage and gold, and dark mahogany bench seating — the overall atmosphere closer to a refined tropical resort than an urban palace. The all-day dining restaurant pivots sharply toward contemporary confidence: exposed dark-timber ceiling beams, limestone floors, white banquette booths with leather-upholstered chairs in burnt orange, and a wall of full-height glazing that frames the Gulf like a painting. At dusk, the long reflecting pool running through the palm-planted gardens mirrors the lit pergola pavilion beyond it, the whole composition settling into the kind of easy, unhurried grandeur that Saadiyat's planners always intended this shoreline to carry.

The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi Reviews

"We stayed at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel truly lives up to its five-star rating. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the beach is outstanding, with clean white sand and a stunning sea. We especially loved the atmosphere — despite the hotel’s high-end standards, it feels incredibly peaceful and welcoming, allowing you to truly relax, unwind, and completely switch off from everyday life. The hotel staff deserve special recognition. The level of service is truly exceptional: the team members are attentive, friendly, professional, and always ready to help and make every guest’s stay as comfortable as possible. We would especially like to thank Sous Chef Lalit Mohan Bisht for his professionalism, genuine care for the guests, and excellent work, as well as Assistant Manager Marco Nasika and the entire restaurant team. It is the attitude of the staff and their attention to detail that create the special atmosphere of hospitality that makes a stay at St. Regis so memorable. A special thank you also goes to lifeguard Sahan for his kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism. It is truly appreciated when employees go beyond simply doing their job and genuinely care about the comfort and safety of their guests. We really enjoyed the breakfasts as well: an excellent selection, high-quality food, and wonderful service. The entire property is beautifully maintained, and the pools and beach are perfect for both a peaceful getaway and a family vacation. The location on Saadiyat Island is another major advantage. It is home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Abu Dhabi, with crystal-clear water and a wonderful atmosphere for relaxation. The St. Regis Saadiyat left us with the warmest memories. It is a magnificent hotel with exceptional service and, most importantly, wonderful people who make every stay truly special. This is definitely a place we would love to return to again. Highly recommended!"

"We had a fantastic stay at the St. Regis Saadiyat Island. The service was exceptional throughout. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive and genuinely welcoming. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and very comfortable, and the whole resort is maintained to a very high standard. Breakfast was a real highlight. Easily one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had anywhere in the world. Amazing choice, excellent quality and great service. A wonderful hotel made even better by the people who work there. We will definitely be back."

"Wow wow wow! We have stayed at some amazing hotels, but this one takes the top spot. It was truly an incredible experience from start to finish and that’s down to the incredible staff they have at St Regis. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and they made it so special, going above and beyond. Our room was upgraded to a suite, he received about 6 birthday cakes and Happy Birthdays from the one in the bedroom with balloons on arrival, at dinner, drinks at Buddha Bar to even one after our massage in the spa- it was so special. He has a nut allergy and Anisha at Cafe Ginori said everything was cross contaminated, she went out of her way to get the chefs to bake him fresh croissants, and hand deliver them on a birthday trolley with candles to our room. She then had 2 fresh croissants waiting for us the next day at breakfast and gave us a departing gift of sweet treats with a photo printed she took with us - Anisha is incredible. The staff by the pool were equally as amazing - special shout out to Tushan, Aman and Prakash who made our stay so special with fruit platters, 10/10 service, and just lovely people to speak to. Tushan even made sure that he passed on it was my partners birthday to the staff at where we had our dinner reservation, so they would do something special. Lastly, our dinner at Sontaya was gorgeous and a special shout out to Vera who was an amazing waiter and served us the most delicious dinner. Would highly recommend booking to stay here - we can’t wait to come back! What a magical place."
