"Classical columns, private terraces and an art-filled wine cellar combine to create a version of luxury aimed at aesthetes who never truly switch off." - Ty Gaskins
"Grandest of the all-star line-up of luxury resorts that hug the white sands of Abu Dhabi’s most beautiful beach, it is all winding, palm-lined walkways and palatial Mediterranean-inspired architecture. Inside, the heady scent of jasmine collides with the smell of oud wafting from glamorous guests and the freshly brewed Arabic coffee poured from curved, golden pots upon check-in. This is a big resort, with 376 guest rooms, as well as private residences on its grounds. And yet, it manages not to feel overwhelming, with its many quiet corners, private stretch of idyllic beach, and five swimming pools. Plus, it has perhaps the best breakfast spread I have ever encountered—served until 1 pm, allowing guests to enjoy leisurely beachside mornings and take their time sampling several plates (trust us, you’ll want to). From $272. —Sophie Prideaux" - CNT Editors

"Boasting a glorious private beach, stellar dining, and unobstructed views of the open sea, this resort is especially family-friendly with the Sandcastle Kids' Club, two dedicated pools plus outdoor and indoor lap pools, and an extensive Athletic Club. Rooms are decorated in classic neutrals accented with gold and turquoise and feature deep bathtubs worth lingering in. Dining highlights include faultless Thai at Sontaya, an evening beach vibe with sushi at Buddha Bar, and sprawling breakfasts or brunches at Olea (served until 1 p.m.), while the Iridium spa is notable for a signature four-hands massage that combines Balinese, Swedish, Lomi-Lomi, and Thai techniques with aromatherapy." - Ann Marie McQueen, CNT Editors
"A beachfront resort on Saadiyat Island minutes from the city center, prized for its Persian Gulf views and signature bar culture—home to a local twist on the Bloody Mary called the 'Arabian Snapper' infused with za'atar—and set to add an Italian café outpost to broaden its dining offerings." - Travel + Leisure Editors
