Desert Islands Resort & Spa

Sir Baniyas Island
Abu Dhabi, UAE

While being off the beaten path is one of our island's best attributes, visitors to Desert Islands Resort & Spa will find that getting here - from anywhere in the world - is a breeze.

The journey for many will begin with arrival at the ultra-modern Abu Dhabi International Airport, home base of Etihad Airlines and offering connections to Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas with increasing regularity. From there, guests seeking the utmost in luxury and quickest access to our island paradise can be whisked away direct to the island by private helicopter!

Alternatively, guests may wish to take land transport from Abu Dhabi to the port for a quick half-hour speedboat journey across the glittering waters of the Gulf to the island's marina, where they may be met by 4WD land cruiser to make their way to the resort. Or, guests may transfer directly to the resort's floating arrival pier and be transported to the lobby by golf cart to begin their Desert Islands Resort getaway.

Once you arrive
To ensure the safety of animals, all vehicle transport on Sir Bani Yas Island is by tour buses and chauffeur driven four-wheel drives. Transport can be arranged directly with all accommodation providers.
