Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Abu Dhabi Resorts is delighted to unveil the highly anticipated upgrades of its luxury property, Anantara Al Sahel Villa Resort . Situated 250 km southwest of Abu Dhabi, the re-imagined safari getaway blending rustic luxury with a sustainable approach, is ready to introduce a collection of 30 new elevated villas.
Nestled within Sir Bani Yas Island’s lush Savannah, the resort offers a grounding experience that combines enriching wildlife encounters with refined living. The refurbishments enhance the resort’s rustic charm while seamlessly integrating chic modern comforts, striking a perfect balance between the island’s natural palette and Anantara’s signature hospitality feel.
Each villa, including the Savannah Pool Villa and Wilderness Pool Villa now feature an extended private pool deck measuring 3 x 4 metres, while the Anantara Two Bedroom Family Pool Villa boast larger swimming pools measuring 4 by 5 metres on a private deck, perfect to bask in the beaming island sun. With ultimate privacy in mind, the new villas are now complemented with barasti fencing on the side, and the two-bedroom family villas offer complete fencing all around for a seamless private escape.
Thoughtfully designed with earthy tones and warm interiors, the collection of villas boasts contemporary, yet comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture designed in perfect harmony with the island’s soothing palette. Indoors, African-inspired motifs set a comfortable and modern scene while outdoors on the extended decks, guests can laze on plush loungers accompanied by sunshades and snug sofas while basking in the gentle sounds of the wild. After a refreshing dip in the pool, guests can make use of the elevated outdoor showers, a comfortable addition to the villas’ terraces.
The resort’s dreamy Island Discovery package invites guests to experience the beauty of the elevated villas in one of the world’s most enchanting destinations. Starting from AED 2,500++ per night, the exclusive offer includes a stay in one of the new luxury Pool Villas boasting a private deck with direct views of the Savannah, daily breakfast at the resort’s all-day dining restaurant Savannah Grill & Lounge, with a late check-out at 2:00pm to make the most of the stay. Children under 12 can stay for free when sharing a bed with their parents.
Guests can embark on unforgettable island adventures including a thrilling wildlife safari drive, falcon shows, an in-depth guided tour of Sir Bani Yas Island’s oldest monastery, the UAE’s only Christian site, and a magical sunrise bike ride across Al Yamm Villa Resort’s bike track, followed by breakfast at the resort’s all-day Mediterranean restaurant. Those looking to unwind amidst serene fauna will receive AED 300 Spa credit valid for 90-minute Spa treatments.
Additionally, sister resort Anantara Al Yamm Villa Resort, a private sanctuary on the Eastern shores of Sir Bani Yas Island, has also unveiled 30 beautifully elevated beachfront villas last year, each with a private pool only steps away from the Arabian Sea that blend privacy and rustic elegance in a bucket-list destination.
The recent upgrades include new barasti fencing and extended outdoor decks that integrate with the turquoise beach landscape. Around-the-clock service makes the stay extra special with dedicated villa hosts on call to arrange private dining experiences, spa treatments, island excursions or ocean adventures.
