Jumeirah Saadiyat Island

What the classifiers highlight

Down the coast from the Louvre Abu Dhabi, this beachfront resort leans on sustainability and restraint rather than spectacle: reusable water bottles at every stay, no plastic straws. Forbes points to the Mediterranean menu at SAL Saadiyat Island, king crab with trenette pasta among the standouts, and to paddleboarding and kayaking trips where dolphins sometimes surface.
