Luxury Stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island

Last August I visited Abu Dhabi and I stayed at the Four Seasons at Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi. From the instant you step through the doors, you'll find yourself immersed in a world of luxury, unmatched hospitality, and flawless service. The property has direct access to the Galleria Mall, making it a rare pedestrian-friendly hotel.

The hotel counts with 200 rooms, comfortable and stylish as you would expect from a Four Seasons property. The bed feels like a cloud and the bath robe is white and fluffy, just the way I love it! I stayed in a Deluxe Waterfront Room, which had views over the pool as well. The marble bathroom is spacious and has a bath tub.

The Pearl Spa & Wellness at the hotel is renowned as one of the city's best. It spans two floors and provides an array of treatments that draw inspiration from both Middle Eastern and Western traditions. Guests can explore a wide selection of wellness amenities, including heated loungers, a vitality pool, saunas, steam rooms, and relaxation areas. Additionally, the fitness center is generously proportioned and features floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the water. If you’d like to enjoy some outdoor air, the rooftop pool with the Eclipse Terrace Lounge is the place to be. The vibe is relaxing and poolside service is excellent, with the delivery of packaged water in small coolers.

The buffet breakfast served in Crust is a traveler’s dream, with a-la carte options and different stations, serving fruits, cereals, breads, pastries, Arabic dishes, pancakes, salads, eggs, cold cuts etc.

What I love so much about the Four Seasons in Abu Dhabi is its unique ability to welcome guests with open arms and a genuinely warm atmosphere, making luxury feel approachable and comfortable.
