"This St. Regis Resort, a palatial beachfront property, looks like it belongs in Florida or the Caribbean. Yet it's on the pristine white-sand beaches of Saadiyat Island, skirting the Persian Gulf. Everything about the property feels thought-through, from the expanses of terraced manicured grass, to the palm trees lining the walkways. Guest rooms are a blend of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. If you're lucky enough to get one with a balcony, you'll find it's an idyllic perch from which to watch the waves roll in." - Melinda Healy
