Simply Abu Dhabi XXX

6 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I With two kilometres of private beach—the city’s longest private beach—a Talise Spa and health club, plus even an adult-only pool, the hotel is an oasis of calm and serenity, yet offers the joy of a family holiday in reach with a kids’ pool and an abundance of (water) activities. The guest rooms are elegant, spacious and designed as open plan, without taking too much attention away from the view. The hotel’s lush gardens edge the sandy beach, providing pockets of privacy and peacefulness. The subdued colour palette mixes well with the honey-coloured wood and beams in the ceiling accented with Arabian touches delivering a strong sense of place. The property delivers the perfect blend of heritage and vision. Subtle hints to its location are made through the artwork, from framed pictures to wall-covering pencil drawn murals inspired by sand dunes, blue skies and Dubai’s heritage of pearl diving and Bedouin traditions. Modern-day details are the purest triumph—a vanity and his-and-hers wardrobes in the bathroom and for those booking the Royal Suite; a private cinema room within the floor plan. Luxurious suites The suites range from Family Suites, Ocean Suites, and Presidential Suite to Royal Suite—all with magnificent views.
