The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi Celebrates Eight Years – Abu Dhabi

To commemorate its eighth anniversary of serving countless guests across the property, The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi will host eight days of celebration with exciting offers available at its dining and spa facilities.

Marwan Fadel, general manager, said: “Over the past eight years, we have established this resort as a leader in the hospitality industry, setting new standards of excellence for the competitive Middle Eastern market. The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi has enjoyed the privilege of being the first property to bring many new concepts to Abu Dhabi and the region. Not only were we the first St. Regis Resort, but ours is the first Iridium Spa as well to launch in the region. We are home to the first permanent location in the world for the famed Buddha-Bar Beach concept. And, most recently, we opened the doors to the first MAZI to open outside of London and this exclusive venue is the pioneering restaurant in the MENA region to introduce modern Greek cuisine. It is truly an honor to be at the helm of the resort’s operations at such an exciting time.”

It is a time of revelries and with the anniversary special offers that will run from December 20th until 27th , there is now more reason to celebrate at the beachside resort.

The celebrations begin at the Mediterranean-influenced restaurant, Olea that is ideal for a relaxing dining experience with family and friends owing to its lavish indoor and alfresco seating options. Those who book a table for four for any of the venue’s sumptuous buffets during the birthday week, excluding December 24th and 25th , need only pay for three people.

The award-winning Asian restaurant – Sontaya – joins the celebration by offering two complimentary passes to the resort’s luxurious pool and beach for every four people at a table. Meaning ‘sunset’ in Thai, Sontaya is a popular choice for Abu Dhabi residents due to its enchanting ambience offered by the floating pavilions and terraces that overlook shimmering pools.

A festive-inspired afternoon tea will be served at the plush lounge all month long, featuring a selection of indulgent pastries like almond stollen, spiced gingerbread loaf and yule log in addition to the customary assortment of savory delights and scones. Guests celebrating the resort’s anniversary with this afternoon tea experience are in for a treat as they will receive a festive-themed favor bag.

With the endless dinners and parties that you will be attending in the festive season, it comes as no surprise that your body will need some time for pure relaxation. The Iridium Spa offers this with its incredible hammam experience by following the treatment with a complimentary 30-minute massage. Available throughout the celebratory week for a special price, this purifying ritual begins with the application of concentrated olive soap, infused with Argan oil that softens the skin, while the steam helps to open the pores and clear any congestion. The vigorous exfoliation with Kessa mitts awakens your mind and body, and is followed by back, head or foot massage to ensure complete bliss. The package includes full access to the spa’s wet facilities that includes a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room.

Setting the stage for an uncompromisingly exquisite stay, each of the intimate guest rooms and grand suites at The St. Regis Saadiyat Resort, Abu Dhabi combines Mediterranean-influenced architecture with expansive views of the glittering Arabian Gulf or the breathtaking resort from private balconies. For stays booked between December 20th and 27th , the resort will offer a complimentary room upgrade depending on availability. 

Combining timeless sophistication with an unrivaled luxury, The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi is the city’s first true beach resort.
