 Private Destination Dining

For added romance, newlyweds can look forward to intimate and private dining experiences at their chosen resort amidst enchanting backdrops. For example, at a luxury desert resort, you can enjoy a candlelit dinner or private BBQ on the dunes and under the stars with a personal chef preparing your favourite dishes. Some properties will offer such meals on a remote beach or amidst a savannah-like setting on an island. For something different, you can even sign-up for a hands-on cooking class together!

 Fun Things to Do

There are diverse things to do in Abu Dhabi on your honeymoon too which make for great adventures to share with that special someone. You can embark on sunrise or sunset camel trekking in the desert or go horse riding on the dunes.
