Zaya Nurai Island Resort
This boutique private island resort is a small slice of tropical paradise. Framed by the sparkling turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf, and just a 10-minute speedboat ride from Abu Dhabi, Zaya Nurai takes barefoot luxury to new heights.
Whether you want to spend your days lazing on spotless white sands, practising yoga with a certified instructor or working your way through a full menu of exciting water sports, the experience at Zaya Nurai is completely personalised with something for all ages to enjoy. Kids will have zip lines, outdoor cinemas and a waterpark at their disposal, whilst the grown-ups can enjoy the award-winning spa and glitzy beach club at Smokin’ Pineapple.
From the sophisticated Beach Villas strung out along the water’s edge to the expansive six-bedroom Estate Villas with their private beaches and infinity pools, the accommodation at Zaya Nurai is truly breathtaking. When it comes to dining, guests have the choice of five fine restaurants and bars serving up flavours from around the globe. Head to Frangipani for Arabic delicacies, Dusk for inspired Mexican cuisine and the aptly named Hooked for the catch of the day.
