This urban waterfront retreat has one of the prettiest settings in Abu Dhabi and the clue here is in the name: mangroves.
Despite its central location, just 15 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport, you’ll feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of the thriving capital here. With city skyline views from one side and tranquil views of the mangroves from the other, the location is impressive.
The palatial hotel boasts 150 deluxe rooms, 66 ‘Kasara Executive’ rooms, and six suites, plus a luxe spa complete with a Turkish hammam.
If you want to take a break from lounging by the infinity pool, book a kayaking experience around the surrounding mangroves, and if you’re looking to venture out for the day (but why would you?), the hotel is conveniently located close by to some of Abu Dhabi’s most popular landmarks including the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which is just an eight-minute jaunt away.
For when you need to refuel, check out Thai restaurant – and previous Time Out Abu Dhabi award-winner – Pachaylen while Impressions Bar offers up some of the best sunset views around.
With its gorgeous views and ideal setting, this hotel is well worth booking a staycation at.
