A large beachfront resort known for its all-inclusive-style packages, a less common model among Abu Dhabi's five-star hotels.
Rixos brought its signature all-inclusive-style model to Saadiyat Island, bundling dining, selected drinks and activities into the room rate — a genuinely different value proposition from the mostly room-only pricing at other Saadiyat resorts.
The scale of the property — extensive pools, multiple restaurants, a long beach frontage — suits travellers who want to stay largely on-property for the length of their trip.
Room categories scale from standard sea-view rooms up to suites with butler service, with the all-inclusive package generally covering meals across the resort's restaurant lineup plus a selection of beverages. A dedicated entertainment programme and kids' club run throughout the day, aimed squarely at families who want structured activities built in.
Because so much is bundled into the rate, it's worth comparing the total cost against a room-only Saadiyat property plus your expected dining spend before deciding which represents better value for your trip. Non-motorised water sports are typically included as well, adding further value for active families. A dedicated aqua park within the resort grounds gives younger children their own water-based entertainment separate from the main pools.
