Abu Dhabi is the iconic modern Middle Eastern city, which boasts gleaming towers of concrete and steel that house some of the most prestigious local and global representatives of the corporate world. For those who wish for a welcome break from the concrete jungle, Abu Dhabi allows you to indulge in some unique luxury hotels that combine elegance and an eco-friendly ethic for an eclectic experience. The Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas range presents one of the ideal options for such a getaway on Sir Bani Yas Island at the Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara, easily accessible by seaplane, which is one of the perks in staying at one of these fine luxury hotel resorts. Embark an exclusive Cessna Caravan aircraft, which will provide you with scenic tours to and over Sir Bani Yas. All flights come with their very own catered VIP lounge with complimentary TV and wifi access. As you take off, your captain will welcome you onboard and then take to the skies to give you a scenic tour of the some 200 islands dotting the peninsula for 50 outstanding minutes, before descending down on Sir Bani Yas Island. You also have the option of touring Sir Bani Yas via seaplane as well. While in the air, you’ll be treating to some spectacular turns of the landscape from a bird’s eye viewpoint. See the animal herds gather at the waterhole, marvel at the range of olive trees that have been planted to assume the shape of an Arabian coffee pot, which is the iconic sign of Arabian hospitality, and witness the majesty of the mangroves. Try and spy the old ship wreak located off the shores of Ghasha Island before making a splash-worthy entrance on the island once again. Treat yourself to this one-in-a-lifetime experience of the desert wilderness!
