Simply Abu Dhabi XI

2 8 3 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I fully stocked bar connecting the media lounge and a game room with a champion-sized pool table. I’m wondering when I will ever make it outside to explore! Guests in the lower level‘s two bedrooms can easily dip in the lagoon or the private plunge Jacuzzi off their individual decks, each furnished with sun loungers and an outdoor shower. Designed for unparalleled seclusion and luxury, the master suite is situated for savouring the singular views of sunrise and sunset over the lagoon and the Indian Ocean. With fantastic books from Taschen combined with the attraction on your attention coming from the media and games room – you could literally spend a week inside before you ventured further outside than your veranda and the cooling embrace of the ocean at your step. Even dining wouldn’t be a problem, as the Viceroy will bring cuisine from any of the five distinct restaurants that offer European, Asian and Middle Eastern cooking. I wasn’t feeling like being a hermit though, so I left my newfound dream home and went out for lunch. Guests at the Viceroy can select casual or elegant dining options, all of which use the freshest produce, and the local catch from the sea, as well as the finest imported ingredients to create menus to please every palate. I wanted to be beside some of the enticing water that surrounds the resort and so I opted for lunch at Anguru, the Pool Bar & Grill, which is ideal for daytime dining.
