Luxury Holidays At The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal

Enjoying a prime location overlooking Abu Dhabi's Grand Canal is The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal. Bringing a little piece of Italy to Abu Dhabi, its architecture has been artfully inspired by the Renaissance style of the 15th to 17th centuries, as well as the urban planning of the Italian city of Venice, reflected by its geometric cloister-style façades and buildings painted in soft shades of cream and terracotta, sheltered by Mediterranean-red roofs. The resort's luxurious guest accommodation is decorated in Ritz-Carlton’s signature style, while eighty-five one and two-bedroom villas – replete with outdoor terraces and butler service – are dotted amongst the lush, landscaped gardens that surround the horseshoe-shaped heart of the property.

Leading down to the private beach and gloriously warm turquoise waters beyond - sheltered by the crescent-shaped, Italianate architecture of the resort's main building - is the huge outdoor swimming pool, the eye-catching centrepiece of the resort. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants to suit guests with eclectic culinary tastes, while the ESPA spa offers sixteen treatment rooms, a plunge pool, hammam and a private beach where spa guests can enjoy a range of express spa treatments throughout the day.

Indeed, shopping is a national custom followed by everyone, whether looking for spices, carpets, perfumes, handicrafts, silks, designer timepieces, high-end fashion, Arabian antiques, gold or the latest technology. You can spend a lot or a little and bartering is expected, so don’t hold back from bagging a bargain, especially in souks such as Al Ain and Al Zafarana. For a luxury spree, look out for The Galleria on Al Marayah Island and the Avenue at Etihad Towers. Opening hours are generally from 10am to 10pm, except during Ramadan.
