"As the first hotel to open on Saadiyat Island in 2011, this resort offers a pristine private beach and contemporary neutral design with tasteful Arabian touches. It is best known for its swimming facilities—four pools including the capital’s largest infinity pool lined with towering palm trees—and the wintertime rooftop Shala Lounge is a top sundowner spot with flatbreads, dips, and expertly crafted cocktails. Make time for Argentinian-Lebanese fusion at Mate, and be sure to add a cup of the grassy national namesake beverage and some old-world empanadas to your order." - Ann Marie McQueen, CNT Editors
