Overview
Ultra-all-inclusive on Saadiyat
Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island is an ultra-all-inclusive Ottoman-Mediterranean palace resort on Saadiyat Island's protected hawksbill-turtle nesting beach, about five minutes from the Louvre Abu Dhabi and close to Yas Island. Its all-inclusive, all-exclusive plan covers dining, drinks, activities and entertainment across around ten restaurants and bars — an all-day international buffet at Turquoise, Italian a la carte at L'Olivo and casual beach dining at People's among them, with Asian and Mediterranean venues and included drinks throughout. Around 366 rooms and suites pair with the Club Privé enclave, where Club Villas share a pool with a 24-hour butler and Club House dining, and Villa Privés have their own private pool. The Anjana Spa is the largest on Saadiyat Island, Turkish-inspired with a hammam, an ice room and a jacuzzi, and the grounds hold three outdoor pools and a wave pool, beach yoga and volleyball on the protected sand, and kids' and teens' clubs with daily entertainment. Saadiyat Beach is one of the emirate's most important sea-turtle nesting sites, giving a seasonal nature angle to the cultural setting beside the Louvre. On the protected turtle beach, around 25 to 30 minutes by road from Zayed International, it is the capital's ultra-all-inclusive family anchor in its museum district.
