On the shoreline between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat brings a small-scale, adults-only mood to the Arabian Gulf. The low-rise white architecture, blue accents and sea-facing terraces create a Mediterranean reference point, while rooms and suites keep the palette calm, bright and uncluttered. Days are shaped around the pool, beach, spa treatments and quiet indoor-outdoor lounging, with dining that moves from relaxed coastal flavours to more polished evening settings. Its appeal sits in the intimacy of the resort and the open horizon beyond the water. This is an adults-only retreat.
