Global luxury hotelier Jumeirah Group has opened doors on the Saadiyat Island Resort – a seaside wellness getaway located in Abu Dhabi.

Created by Australian architecture firm DBI Design, the 293-room beachfront hotel features seven restaurants, 15 treatment rooms, three outdoor pools, and multiple fitness facilities, as well as a tennis court, golf club, and the UAE's first Bodyism Wellness Centre.

Wellbeing amenities in the spa include saunas, hydrotherapy pools, steam and salt rooms, and a traditional Arabic rasul (mineral-rich mud bath).

Commenting on the announcement, José Silva, CEO of the Jumeirah Group said: "The opening is a significant landmark in achieving our strategic expansion goals worldwide and is our sixth Jumeirah hotel to open this year.

"We are confident that Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort will further enhance Abu Dhabi as a distinct and diverse tourist destination, and we look forward to welcoming guests from the local community as well as international travellers."

The building, which has been under development since 2015, is Jumeirah’s 16th property to be added to its Middle East portfolio.
