Tucked away in the heart of Abu Dhabi, Erth Abu Dhabi is the kind of place that makes you forget you're still in the city. A retreat that seamlessly merges Emirati heritage with contemporary luxury, this sprawling resort offers a sense of tranquility that feels rare in today’s fast-paced world. From the moment we arrived, the shift was immediate—the air felt calmer, the ambiance effortlessly inviting, and the hospitality unmatched.

Our stay unfolded in one of Erth’s private villas, an oasis of understated elegance complete with a private pool and direct access to an exclusive beach. The interiors reflected a careful balance of modernity and tradition, where every detail felt considered yet deeply comforting. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and stepping out onto the sun-drenched terrace each morning felt like a privilege, as if time itself had slowed down. The villa is beautifully equipped, decored in neutral shades of beige and sandy tones, offering an extra layer of relaxation to the eye.

Dining at Erth Abu Dhabi was a journey through flavors and cultures, beginning with the Emirati High Tea curated by Chef Maitha Warshaw. Presented in the serene Al Rayeh Lounge, the experience was a masterful blend of tradition and innovation, where delicate pastries and locally inspired savories were served with an elegant selection of teas and coffees. For dinner, we indulged in the flavors of Greece at Ergon, where every dish felt like a love letter to the Mediterranean, from freshly grilled seafood to beautifully executed mezze spreads. Breakfast, however, was the true highlight—a lavish buffet featuring an extensive array of international and Emirati delicacies, all prepared with the freshest ingredients. The sheer variety was impressive, and the impeccable service made every meal feel like a special occasion.

Beyond the resort, a visit to Erth Restaurant at Al Hosn offered a deeper exploration of Emirati culinary heritage. Situated within Abu Dhabi’s oldest stone building, the restaurant has earned Michelin recognition for its approach to traditional Emirati flavors, elevated with contemporary techniques. For Ramadan, Erth Restaurant presents an Iftar experience that captures the essence of the season, with an exquisite three-course menu featuring signature dishes like veal harees, Fujairah shrimp machboos, and saffron-infused margooga ravioli. Desserts such as golden Luqaimat with Liwa date syrup and a reinvented Um Ali with flaky croissant layers bring a perfect close to an indulgent meal. The setting, with its seamless fusion of heritage architecture and modern design elements, created a dining experience that was immersive, intimate, and unforgettable.

As impressive as the property itself is, what truly sets Erth apart is its people. The staff embodied warmth and generosity, ensuring that every request was met with a genuine sense of care. Every moment, from check-in to farewell, felt effortless, and their hospitality only reinforced the resort’s ability to make you feel completely at home.

Spanning an enormous stretch of land, Erth Abu Dhabi offers a rare blend of exclusivity and space, making it perfect for families as well. With kid-friendly pools, play areas, and a range of activities, it’s a destination that caters to both those seeking solitude and those looking for quality time with loved ones.

For those searching for a luxurious yet peaceful staycation without leaving the UAE, Erth Abu Dhabi delivers in every way. As the sun set over the Arabian Gulf on our final evening, it was clear that this was not just a hotel—it was a refuge, a space to pause, breathe, and simply be. Whether visiting for Eid, a weekend retreat, or a moment of quiet indulgence, Erth is the kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve left.
