Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island
A low-rise resort laid out along Saadiyat Beach, where paths wind between the wings and the sea is never more than a few steps away.
The buildings stay low, so the sky feels big. Jumeirah spreads out along Saadiyat Beach, with walkways linking the wings and the sand running the full length of the resort. Even on busy days, the sunbeds rarely feel crowded.
There are large pools, a kids' club and a beach restaurant that ranks among the most popular on the island, so you can easily spend a whole day without leaving the sand. Bring a good book and a hat.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island
We picked it for families and couples who want space. Children have the club and the pools, parents get a few hours to themselves, and the beach is the real thing.
The resort is spread out, so you walk a lot between room, pool and restaurant. The city is a drive away, which makes it a place to settle rather than a base for sightseeing.
