On Sir Bani Yas Island, Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara sits between Arabian Gulf shoreline and the island's protected wildlife reserve. Rooms, suites and villas frame sea or garden views, with warm contemporary interiors, terraces and a calm resort scale shaped by the island landscape. Dining ranges from relaxed international restaurants to outdoor settings, while the wider reserve brings wildlife drives, kayaking, archery, horse riding and beach time into the stay. The result is a coastal Anantara retreat with rare access to Abu Dhabi's conservation-focused island wilderness.
