Abu Dhabi · Saadiyat Island
Saadiyat's own protected beach runs 9 kilometres past the resort's front door.
Saadiyat Island sits just off Abu Dhabi's own coast, a short causeway ride from the city. Zayed International Airport is 30 kilometres away, about 20 minutes by road; downtown Abu Dhabi is closer, about 10 minutes. The resort sits on the island's own protected beach, a few minutes further along the same road from the Saadiyat Cultural District, where the Louvre Abu Dhabi already stands and the Zayed National Museum and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi are still being built.
Every room and suite opens onto a private balcony, over the Arabian Gulf on the higher grades and over the resort itself on the rest, with a chaise longue to sit on. Inside, the floors are Calcutta marble, and the furniture mixes chiselled stone, petrified wood, teak, woven cane and resin rattan with leather and glass — turquoise, red and coral against a base of sand, brown and white. Ceiling fans turn over the air conditioning, and ceiling-height windows keep the light in the room even after the sun is off the balcony.
Every room here has a butler, in the brand's own tradition, the whole length of the stay. Evening turndown and a newspaper come with it, on request. The Manhattan Lounge pours its own version of the brand's Bloody Mary, first mixed at the St. Regis New York's King Cole Bar in 1934 — zaatar in place of the original recipe's own spice, and renamed the Arabian Snapper for it. A concierge arranges the golf, the spa and the tennis courts, and the transfer in from the airport.
The Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. The course runs 18 holes, par 72, along Saadiyat's own coastline — the Arabian Gulf's first golf course built directly on a beach, designed by Gary Player. Tee times run from 6 in the morning until 8 at night, with a driving range, a putting green and a golf school on site.
The St. Regis Spa. The spa runs 12 treatment suites, open every day from 11 in the morning until 11 at night, appointment required. Men and women have separate lounges, and a steam room sits beside them.
The St. Regis Athletic Club. The gym is open 24 hours a day, every day, at no charge — cardiovascular and strength equipment, with personal training on request. Two lit outdoor hard tennis courts sit beside it, rackets, balls, towels and cold water included; a hitting partner or a clinic can be arranged for a fee.
4 Pools. The indoor lap pool keeps the longest hours, 6 in the morning to 7 at night; the one on the beach runs a shorter day, 9 to 6. A separate pool holds the children, fitted with its own small waterfalls; another, reserved for adults only, is set apart with cabanas and jacuzzis of its own.

Superior Partial Sea View is the same 55 square metres, with a slice of the Gulf from the balcony.
Premium Sea View is 55 square metres too, with the Gulf in full from the balcony. All 3 come in the same 2 bed choices, so the decision is the view, not the room.

Ocean Suite is 130, the first grade with a sea view, its own dining room and a pantry.

Two Bedroom Ocean Suite keeps the sea view; Two-Bedroom Contemporary looks onto the gardens from a terrace and a patio; Two-Bedroom Executive keeps its own balcony and no other outdoor space.
Every room here has a butler, in the brand's own tradition, the whole length of the stay.
