Abu Dhabi – Mubasher: Jumeirah Group revealed that it has opened the group’s first luxury “eco-conscious” resort, Jumeirah, at  Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island.

The resort fronts 400 metres of sand dunes, providing an environmentally-sensitive holiday destination, according to the group’s recent statement.

Saadiyat Island is undergoing a transformation into a world-class leisure, culturally connected and residential destination.

“We are proud to bring Jumeirah to Saadiyat Island and to open our second luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi,” José Silva, CEO, Jumeirah Group, said.

The new resort offers each guest a front-row seat to beautiful scenery and undisturbed wildlife including hawksbill turtles, dugongs, humpback and bottlenose dolphins, flamingos and gazelles.

It comprises 293 rooms plus eight private 2, 3 and 4-bedroom villas with their own private pools, featuring three outdoor infinity pools, a kids' pool and the first Bodyism Wellness Centre in the UAE. 

“The opening is a significant landmark in achieving our strategic expansion goals worldwide and is our sixth Jumeirah hotel to open this year,” Silva added.

Moreover, the resort is located next to one of the most spectacular beaches in the Arabian Gulf.

The company did not give further details concerning the project’s total cost.
