Stick your neck out
Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara is a 64-room boutique resort designed to captivate the mind and relieve the body – quite a different experience to the standard beach resorts in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Set on the nature reserve island haven of Sir Bani Yas, just off the coast of Abu Dhabi, Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara is one of the most luxurious resorts in Abu Dhabi.
Anantara Desert Islands Resort offers views over the Arabian Gulf’s shimmering waters and the chance to explore an ancient landscape and discover magnificent Arabian wildlife.
Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara’s rooms utilise striking indigenous fabrics and original artwork and offer sea and desert views.
Anantara is now accessible in just 25-minutes by 3 times weekly flights from Abu Dhabi’s Al Bateen Executive Airport.
What’s so Special?
Fall under the spell of centuries of evocative Middle Eastern legends, explore 10-million year old landscapes and discover the diverse wildlife of this unique offshore island retreat, long known for its natural and rugged beauty.
Anantara offers a great range of activities and excursions, including kayaking, mountain bikes, guided walks, horse-riding (they have their own stables), a shoreline infinity-edge swimming pool and fantastic Anantara Spa.
Desert Islands Resort by Anantara is a great choice for a family holiday in Abu Dhabi because of the activities on offer and the resort facilities that include a Kid’s & Teens Club and Family Villas.
Bear in mind
The resort is 250 km from Abu Dhabi, followed by a 15-minute scenic boat ride – so it’s a bit of a journey getting there. The thrice-weekly 20-minute flights with Rotana Jet make the journey much quicker.
