Looking for the perfect honeymoon destination? Abu Dhabi is the ideal choice to experience romance and here are some insights to help you plan your getaway.

When to Visit

This is a great year-round destination; winter is the peak season (December to the middle of March), while spring (middle of March to May) and autumn (September to December) also feature pleasant weather. It can get very hot in summer (late May to September) but at resorts in Abu Dhabi, you can enjoy blissful air-conditioned comforts!

Where to Stay

While city accommodation is available, for more seclusion, consider a honeymoon on Sir Bani Yas Island home to properties like Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara. The island is also a protected wildlife sanctuary which adds to its charm while couples can stay at a luxury villa with a private plunge pool by the beach.

Spa & Dining

On your honeymoon in Abu Dhabi, you can enjoy luxurious wellness rituals at resort spas; some even offer beach cabanas overlooking the Arabian Sea, ideal for couples’ treatments. Dining on the beach or other enchanting island settings is another not to be missed experience set amidst magical sunsets or under a myriad of stars.

Things to Do

Couples looking for some adventure on their honeymoon have much to do as well. Those in the city can visit sites like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Louvre Abu Dhabi. If you’re at Sir Bani Yas Island, then activities like wildlife drives at the Arabian Wildlife Park, horse riding and snorkelling will make your holiday truly unforgettable.
