places to stay > United Arab Emirates > Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, sits off the mainland on an island in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf. Its focus on oil exports and commerce is reflected by the skyline’s modern towers and shopping megacenters such as Abu Dhabi and Marina malls. Beneath white-marble domes, the vast Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque features an immense Persian carpet, crystal chandeliers and capacity for 41,000 worshipers.
The community consists of residential apartment towers, beach-side villas, townhouses, retail outlets, restaurants and a commercial office building. The community's unique feature is the canal that splits Al Muneera island from the mainland. A tranquil canal has been created as a result with cafes and restaurants located along waterfront paths and promenades for residents and the general public to enjoy. The retail outlets at Al Muneera and the large public spaces including beach and children's play area are sure to be popular with Abu Dhabi's residents and visitors alike.
Situated in the heart of Abu Dhabi, Anantara Eastern Mangroves Hotel boasts a unique setting with scenic views of the tranquil mangroves and Abu Dhabi’s soaring skyscrapers. Perfect for both business and leisure guests, the Hotel offers a choice of 222 elegant rooms and suites, furnished with Arabian-inspired and modern design elements, all with an access to world-class room amenities and services.
Upscale Sowwah Square sits on the island of Jazeerat Al Maryah and is centered on the glittering jewelry stores and global fashion brands of The Galleria Al Maryah Island mall. Popular steakhouses, hip cocktail bars, and sleek Japanese restaurants surround elegant hotels, all overlooked by landmark skyscrapers including Abu Dhabi Global Market, with government offices and the Cleveland Clinic hospital.
From a room for a night to a loft for as long as you like, there’s a Sonder for every occasion.

Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. is a lavish destination that features modern accommodation of every kind. As such, the vacation rentals in this destination include apartments atop towering skyscrapers, luxurious hotel suites, or light-flooded beach condos. There are also beautiful studios close to Yas Island, apartments with balconies overlooking the sea, and resorts such as Bab Al Qasr, which is perfect for an all-inclusive beach getaway.
The Corniche is the best area where to stay in Abu Dhabi, you get the best of both worlds, a beach, and the city's urban side, and you can stay at the St Regis Abu Dhabi, one of the best luxury hotels here.
You can spend anywhere from three days to three weeks in the UAE, but we recommend a two-week stay as the perfect travel duration. A three-day stay will allow you to soak up the main highlights of one of the seven emirates, but a two-week itinerary will let you experience this region beyond tourist postcards.
