Emirati splendour meets an oasis of green overlooking the ocean. Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara invites you to immerse in wadi adventures and discoveries.
Embark on family wildlife drives. Explore ancient ruins and rock formations by horseback. Find new passions with falconry, land sailing and archery just some of the many activities on offer.
Sir Bani Yas Island is a protected wildlife sanctuary just off the coast of Abu Dhabi, founded by His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Home to free-roaming animals, including the near extinct Arabian Oryx, the island offers a distinct escape from the world. Located on the north shore between a lagoon and the open ocean, guests of Desert Islands also enjoy access to the facilities of our sister Abu Dhabi resorts Al Sahel and Al Yamm.
