Price includes Flights with Etihad, Accommodation, Private Transfers & Selected Experiences. Subject to availability.
Your honeymoon awaits, with three incredible nights at the exquisite Emirates Palace which sets the tone for the grandiose honeymoon that awaits. You are immersed in ornamentally carved hallways, distinguished art galleries and stunning tiles that go on forever. At over a kilometre from wing to wing, Emirates Palace is an Abu Dhabi national landmark and one of the world’s most opulent hotels. At estimates of $3 Billion, it is also one of the most expensive ever built. Residing on a 1.3km private beach on the city’s magnificent Corniche, it boasts rooms with private butlers, 11 restaurants, 2 pools, the ‘World’s Best Hotel Spa’ (according to the 2016 World Spa Awards) and a marina accommodating up to 167 yachts.
Days can be spent enjoying the romantic setting by the Gulf or the pool. A must see is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Choose to take a personalised tour of the Mosque and be marvelled by its incredible beauty and its serene atmosphere. For adrenaline junkies you may include a visit to Ferrari World – with the world’s fastest rollercoaster and highest loop. Vintage Ferraris shine so brightly that you can see your own reflection. If you ever dreamt of being a F1 racer, why not create another lasting memory during your honeymoon, by getting behind the steering wheel of a 3000cc v6 engine and push the pedal to the floor on none other than the Yas F1 race track.
If you want to include some history into your honeymoon, look to take a personalised tour to Qasr Al Muwaiji and pay homage to His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s birth place. His face will be familiar throughout your Abu Dhabi experience, take the time to explore the glass encapsulated exhibition which celebrates his life and appreciate the history of the fort and its role as a passionate home which dates back to the early 1800’s.

Head over to the western coast Bani Yas jetty to be transported to Sir Bani Yas Island, a honeymoon experience like no other. The Arabic decorated Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara is one of three stunning hotels on Sir Bani Yas Island. Sir Bani Yas Island is the setting for the Arabian Wildlife Park, home to more than 13,000 free-roaming animals, including highly endangered Arabian oryx, gazelles, giraffes, hyenas and even cheetahs.
The Desert Islands Resort & Spa rooms offer amazing views over the surrounding nature reserve and the glistening Arabian Gulf. When not relaxing by the infinity pool or choosing to be pampered in the spa, you may decide to experience the abundance of outdoor activities, including mountain biking, snorkelling, hiking and kayaking. Included in “The Ultimate Romantic Arabian Escape” is an open-jeep safari led by an expert guide in search of the island’s endangered and indigenous wildlife.
We also include an unique ‘Dining by Design’ experience at Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara. Choose your dream setting, decide from a selection of carefully crafted menus and dine with your loved one as you are attended to by your very own private butler. Savour an authentic ‘Out of Africa’ experience under the stars in the bush. Toast champagne as the sun sets over the wadis. Indulge in passionate Italian and Mediterranean flavours around a roaring bonfire. Or relish Arabic flavours by candlelight on a stretch of golden beach reserved exclusively for you, the choice is yours.
Built to resemble an old Arabian fortress, the 5-star Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara is set among the giant shifting sand dunes of the Rub Al Khali (Empty Quarter), the largest expanse of sand in the world. Hard to believe this is just a 90-minute drive from the capital. Words do not do the Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort justice.
Authentic in design, it is astonishing how this property intertwines with the sand dunes and goes on for miles. The diverse selection of excursions and activities you can choose from reflect the region’s culture but also include more modern activities. These include sunset camel treks, falconry shows, ‘fat biking’, ‘dune bashing’, early morning desert walks and fireside barbecues beneath the starlit skies. Very romantic!
For the perfect ending to your honeymoon we have included in “The Ultimate Romantic Arabian Escape” a romantic dinner for two amid the golden sand dunes waited on by your private butler. Picture the sun setting over the desert whilst dining with your loved one under a canopy of stars. For a hotel off the beaten track and so unique in design, this is the perfect end to your honeymoon.
