The story
Nine kilometres of Blue Flag beach and a Louvre at the end of the driveway
Nine kilometres of beach, certified Blue Flag and entirely private to the resort: Saadiyat Rotana makes its case on width before any other consideration. The island itself is Abu Dhabi's museum district — the Louvre Abu Dhabi sits three kilometres from the main building, teamLab Phenomena just as close — and the resort's family-facing DNA (its Aladdin's Cave kids club, lazy river and cinema zone are among the most comprehensive in the emirate) means wedding guests of every generation find themselves well looked after.
The 327 rooms and suites are complemented by 13 private beach villas, each with its own pool and a standard of seclusion that makes them natural choices for the wedding couple's accommodation or for VIP guests. The event spaces — one ballroom and three banquet venues, all equipped with high-technology audiovisual systems — are deployed with flexible configuration, meaning they scale well from an intimate dinner to a full multi-table reception. With seven dining venues available, rehearsal dinners and post-wedding brunches can vary considerably in register, from the Italian formality of Si Ristorante to the relaxed terrace of Turtle Bay Bar & Grill.
