Forming the majestic capital of the UAE is the vibrant city of Abu Dhabi, home to gleaming towers of glass and steel that forms much of the city’s frenetic development. No less stunning are its options for Abu Dhabi hotels as all of them promise and deliver world-class luxury, especially at the Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara. With elegant interiors and five-star service all the way, it is one of the finest luxury hotels Abu Dhabi has to offer its visiting droves. Development informs Abu Dhabi’s landscape, and an example of the emirate’s ingenuity comes in the form of Al Lulu Island, a splendid manmade feature primed for extensive infrastructure development. However, it was shut down in 2009 in order to host a series of projects currently undergoing construction. But this has not prevented the island from being frequented by tourists and locals alike, as anyone can charter a private boat and head out to the island for some welcome fun in the sun, or simply enjoying a quiet picnic by a camp fire at dusk. For the more adventurous visitors, jet-skiing, wakeboarding, and surfing are some popular activities one can indulge in. Or, you can simply settle into that new novel amidst the charming tropical setting and allow your imagination to spirit you away on Lulu Island.
