Rixos launches all-inclusive 5-star experience for Abu Dhabi

Sometimes all-inclusive hotels get a bad reputation for low quality and non-luxury surroundings. Turkish hotel chain Rixos is trying to change all that with a stunning hotel in the Persian Gulf. Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi is a stylish beachfront hotel where luxury accommodation is a top priority.

Room: The rooms are spacious and decorated with a Turkish beach theme: lots of Aegean colours, mosaic tiles and cool glass. You can look forward to an exceptionally comfortable bed, L’Occitane bath products, a refrigerator stocked with your favorite beverage and high-speed WiFi. Some rooms have sea views, others face the garden and some have direct access to the enclosed plunge pool, perfect for a private evening swim.

diet: While some all-inclusive venues skimp on quality, Rixos goes out of its way to offer endless meals and snacks as well as high-end alcohol. The breakfast buffet includes Turkish delights such as hummus and simit baked in front of you, Indian paratha, plenty of fresh fruit, a variety of egg and cheese options, and waffles and pancakes. The freshly squeezed juice bar is conveniently located next to the gym. For dinner, Aja features a sushi bar, Chinese noodles and teppanyaki, where the chef’s mastery makes everyone smile. Seafood lovers can enjoy a multi-course meal at Mermaid, including a range of appetizers, a wide selection of fish and an excellent wine list. L’Olivio will satisfy your Italian food cravings with excellent pizza, pasta and steak options. People’s serves meals right on the beach and Turquoise is the perfect spot for a buffet dinner with basically something for everyone.

family: Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island is very family friendly. While many kids will want to spend the day at the beach or splash in the heated outdoor pool, there’s also a great kids’ club. Younger kids have their own mini water park and playground, and can take part in cooking classes or afternoon arts and crafts. There are also daily sports lessons for children, including tennis, basketball and boxing.

Health enthusiasts: While some people like to spend the whole vacation looking at the sea while reading a book, others insist on doing more activities. The hotel has a well-equipped gym and several tennis courts. If group fitness is your thing, there are eight classes a day, including crossfit, TRX, and tabata. The only thing not included is the spa. However, it is well worth spending an afternoon enjoying a relaxing massage or classic hammam treatment.

Place: The fantastic waterfront location means most guests never leave the hotel. But if you want to explore some nearby attractions, you’re just a short drive from Ferrari World, home to the world’s fastest roller coaster. If you need a break from the sun, you can also spend an afternoon at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, the world’s largest indoor theme park. Less than 10 minutes from Louvre Abu Dhabi. Art aside, the museum has some unusual offerings, including live yoga classes and the chance to kayak around the building for a fun sunset experience.

The ultimate in Middle Eastern hospitality, this Rixos hotel is the place to go for a holiday of complete relaxation or a thrill or two. All your friends and family will feel cared for by an always welcoming staff and top-notch amenities.
