EMIRATES PALACE HOTEL, ABU DHABI

Both capital city and largest of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi lies on the central western coast of the Arabian Gulf. Like its neighbour Dubai, the Emirate has seen rapid growth in the past few years, though its history is relatively short having developed from a small fishing village. Revenues earned from oil have allowed Abu Dhabi to transform itself into a destination of fine hotels, parks and gardens, shopping opportunities and leisure facilities.


An enchanting landmark that’s a wonder to behold for all who venture through its magnificent gates:

An Abu Dhabi oasis of splendour! The resort is an unparalleled Gulf beach resort choice for the traveller in quest of the ultimate fusion of lavish Arabian luxury. The name ‘palace’ befits the opulence of this impressive resort, whose grand design and hues reflect the rich architectural heritage of Arabia – the ensemble crowned by a 60m dome and 113 smaller domes, each encrusted with mosaic glass and gold finishing. One hundred hectares of landscaped gardens fringed by over a kilometre of pristine sandy beach, provide an exclusive oasis-like backdrop to this stunning resort. The latest refinements in contemporary luxury pervade all aspects of Emirates Palace. They include such impressive features as the latest in-room multimedia systems, an extensive selection of fine dining venues for all tastes, two resort pools, one with lazy river and slides, the other a relaxation pool with swim-up bar, tennis, water sports, designer boutiques, kids club and a superb Anantara Spa. A truly elegant and stunning resort!
