Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi

Enjoy the best of both worlds at this resort on the Abu Dhabi coast: you’re close enough to the city for exciting days out and urban explorations, but you’ve also got access to the shimmering sands of Saadiyat Beach. Spend your days here lounging by the gentle waves of the Arabian Gulf, or by one of the five swimming pools where towering palm trees swish in the sea breeze. For more active pursuits, the property is adjacent to an 18-hole championship golf course, and has its own fitness centre and 25-metre lap pool. 

Inside this modern hotel you’ll find contemporary bedrooms with a touch of Emirati glamour, many with ocean views and their own private balconies for watching the sun set over the sea. The hotel draws locals for its excellent dining options: Maté is famous for its Argentina-inspired brunch, while The Café is known city-wide for its excellent Middle Eastern cooking. There’s also cake and coffee in The Library, and fresh seafood cooked Italian style at Beach House.
