Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island, a secluded paradise off the Abu Dhabi coast, offered us an extraordinary blend of luxury and nature. After a smooth boat transfer, we arrived at this unique sanctuary for a two-night stay in March 2024. From breathtaking wildlife safaris to stunning villas and exceptional service, every moment of our visit was unforgettable.

How to Get There:
Reaching the island was a breeze, thanks to the scenic boat transfer from Jebel Dhanna. The ride was comfortable, and the first views of the island were mesmerizing—lush greenery and golden sand set against the turquoise sea. The warm welcome from the resort team set the tone for an exceptional stay.

Our Stay at Al Sahel Villas:
We stayed at Al Sahel Villas, tucked amidst the island’s vibrant greenery. Waking up to gazelles grazing nearby was a magical experience. These villas exude rustic charm while offering modern comforts, including a private plunge pool that provided a perfect spot to unwind after our adventures.

Exploring Al Yamm Villas:
We visited Al Yamm Villas for a day to experience its beachfront setting. Located on a stretch of white sand with turquoise waters, the villas are ideal for those seeking coastal serenity. As all three properties are connected, moving between them was effortless, allowing us to explore the different vibes of the island. Just call reception and they will organise the transfer for you (complimentary!).

Wildlife Safari Adventure:
The highlight of our stay was the incredible safari experience. We spotted giraffes, gazelles, oryx, and even cheetahs roaming freely in their natural habitat. The guide’s knowledge added depth to the adventure, making it as educational as it was thrilling. Seeing so many animals up close was unforgettable and made us appreciate the island’s role in conservation.

Exceptional Service and Dining:
Anantara’s signature service was evident throughout our stay. From the warm smiles to the attention to detail, the staff made every moment special. Dining was another highlight, with a variety of restaurants offering diverse cuisines. The breakfast spread was particularly impressive, featuring fresh, high-quality options to start the day perfectly.

Activities and Relaxation:
Between safaris and chilling by the pool or on the beach, make sure not to miss ultimate relaxation at the Anantara Spa, where the serene ambiance and expert therapists left us rejuvenated.

Conclusion:
Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island offers a rare mix of luxury, adventure, and natural beauty. From the wildlife safari to the tranquil villas and exceptional service, every aspect of our stay was remarkable. Whether relaxing at Al Sahel Villas or exploring the stunning Al Yamm beachfront, this destination captures the essence of an unforgettable escape. For anyone seeking a unique getaway, this island paradise is a must-visit.
