Discover Greek Charm Just 45 Minutes Away From Dubai

Halfway between the urban sprawl of Dubai and the cultural hum of Abu Dhabi, a slice of the Aegean Sea awaits. Or so you would have thought once you discovered Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat. Only 25 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport, this luxurious enclave exudes Grecian charm and Arabian opulence on a serene stretch of the Abu Dhabi coast.

It's not a capricious conceit. For this architectural and atmospheric impersonation is the real deal: whitewashed walls, azure waters, an overpowering sense of serenity—where the desert metropolis on the Arabian Gulf becomes a Mediterranean isle, no passport or long-haul flight required.

Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi does not promise luxury but delivers a pantheon of it. With 22 rooms and suites offering sea views untroubled, the resort marries the intimate charm of Santorini with the lavish hospitality that the UAE is renowned for. Guests can choose modern rooms either with oceanside terraces or private balconies, securing each wake-up as stunning as the Aegean sunrise.

There are two exclusive places to dine at the retreat, with liberal helpings drawn from Mediterranean flavors and a hint of local zing. Being an adults-only retreat, it promises a peaceful getaway with peace as omnipresent as the scenery. The on-site spa and fitness center complete the picture, offering rejuvenation and relaxation in equal measure.

A Stone's Throw from Adventure

While this may be a fair reason to encourage guests to spend most of their time cocooned in their plush apartments, the location is perfect for sightseeing. Situated at a point where Dubai meets Abu Dhabi, the Anantara Santorini is处在两地游览的绝佳位置 impairment FROM, accommodation which avails easy access to the attractions of both emirates-from Dubai's busy souks and towering skyscrapers to Abu Dhabi's cultural museums and rich artistic heritage.

No Greek experience would be complete without a gastronomic adventure. Abu Dhabi answers that call with the top five Greek restaurants in the city, whence the flavor of feta and olives, saganaki and souvlaki, whisks one away on a gastronomic cruise across the Cyclades. From beachside elegance at Mazi to views of the marina at Mika, every meal is a mezze of delight, seasoned with the spice of Greek hospitality.
