Providing the ideal blend of romance, rejuvenation and recreation, Abu Dhabi is perfect for a honeymoon; these are some reasons why couples around the world come here to celebrate their new chapter of love!

 Romantic Desert Escapes

For the ultimate in seclusion and privacy on your honeymoon, nothing beats a getaway to the Empty Quarter, the largest sand desert on the planet! You can opt for a luxury resort such as Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara and stay at a plush villa with a private plunge pool, plenty of contemporary comforts and a personal butler service too. Such properties also offer the experiences below which will make your holiday more special.

 Holistic Spa Rituals

After all the planning and maybe even some last-minute stress on your wedding day, the honeymoon is a time couples should indulge in some much-needed rest and relaxation! On your honeymoon at 5-star hotels in Abu Dhabi, you can look forward to revitalising spa rituals on a wellness journey together. An ideal option would be a spa with private treatment rooms and packages for couples; it can include a floral foot ritual, a body massage using Arabian rose oil, a rose desert sand scrub and a candlelit milk bath.

 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. Those staying in the city can look forward to some kayaking at the Mangrove National Park and cycling along the Corniche. Additionally, a wildlife safari or nature walk at Sir Bani Yas Island and a sunset dhow cruise are amongst the other experiences you can enjoy.
