We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara on Sir Bani Yas Island, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The resort is so calm, peaceful, and beautifully maintained..It’s perfect place for a romantic getaway. Everything was exceptionally clean and well organized. The food was absolutely delicious, with great quality and variety that made our celebration even more special. A heartfelt thank you to Sahan, David and Thilina for their outstanding hospitality. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. Their warm service made us feel valued and truly cared for during our special occasion. Thank you for making our wedding anniversary so memorable. We will definitely visit again! ❤️

I had an excellent massage experience at this place. Honestly, the level of professionalism, cleanliness, and reception was very high. I would like to give special thanks to Pema for her outstanding work and attention to detail. She made sure to ask about the areas of pain and focused on them, and the massage pressure was perfectly balanced and comfortable from start to finish. It’s clear that she works with dedication and truly cares about her job. My experience with her was one of the best massage experiences I’ve ever had. I sincerely thank her for her effort and wish her all the best

We stayed at Desert Islands Resort for one night from 11–12 November. Although our stay was short, it was absolutely lovely. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, with a special mention to Sasandi, who checked us in and immediately made us feel right at home. The room was spacious and comfortable, and breakfast the following morning was excellent, with a great selection. The chefs kept the buffet well stocked and spotless, making for a very pleasant dining experience. We would also like to thank Gerard for driving us between the resorts and back to the ferry terminal. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Exceptional stay with top notch hospitality. The staff was extremely courteous and hospitable specially Harish and Sahan, both were extremely cordial and went above and beyond to facilitate us. Jonhatan made our Safri ride informative n engaging. Food options were limited and overpriced. The only improvement that needs to be made is regarding variation in menu and prices need to be a bit more affordable.

We had fun during our stay, vila was spacious with swimming pool temperature just perfect. Lot of space for kids to run around. Staff is very courteous and polite only suggestion is to add few more options for vegetarian in restaurants and in room dining staff Harish was very helpful in check-in and out
