Nurai Island Abu Dhabi pictures

Long stretches of sandy beaches, gorgeous hotel rooms and luxury villas are dotted throughout this idyllic and tranquil location. You won’t believe the peace, quiet and luxury in close enough vicinity that you can still see the downtown Abu Dhabi skyline.

Like the look of Nurai Island? Well then, why not spend a day there yourself and see the UAE’s most tranquil destination.

Derived from the Arabic word ‘Noor’ meaning light the resort was conceived to provide a sanctuary for discerning individuals. It comprises limited edition beachfront estates as well as a boutique resort.

A luxury all-day dining restaurant – on a private island don’t forget – is one of the resort’s central locations. We love the dress code promise of barefoot chic and look forward to sampling the sustainable line caught fish and artisan cuisine being promised.

Discreet sunken pods and chic areas to eat and drink are likely to become some of Abu Dhabi’s most sought after sunset and shisa spots.

Three types of accommodation are available – Beach Villa, Water Villa and Beach Estate Villa. All have private infinity pools attached.

Before checking in for a night, or longer, we can’t recommend highly enough a day visit to Nurai Island. Sun terraces and infinity pools will do wonders for your well-being.
