LXR Hotels and Resorts to enter Abu Dhabi in 2023

LXR Hotels & Resorts, Hilton’s collection of independent luxury properties, has signed an agreement for a new resort surrounded by lush greenery and stunning landscapes on the private Al Nawras Island in Abu Dhabi.

Slated to open in 2023, Al Nawras Island, LXR Hotels & Resorts will mark the brand’s entry into the UAE capital. Situated in one of Abu Dhabi’s most recreational yet tranquil areas and designed with elements inspired by the destination, the resort will offer an exclusive escape on a private, secluded island, while still providing seamless access for those who wish to explore the vibrant city and its cultural experiences.

The all-villa resort will offer 80 expansive and elegantly designed beach and water villas as well as a 450m², two-bedroom Royal Villa surrounding a state-of-the-art golf course.

Al Nawras Island will place a strong emphasis on exploration, expression, and wellbeing. Among the property’s world-class leisure and recreational facilities are an upscale gym, fitness studio, and three stunning swimming pools — one indoor and two outdoor, as well as tennis and paddle courts, a private marina, exclusive beach club, and elaborate spa. Additionally, children will have access to an engaging playground and dedicated swimming pool.

The property will also feature an array of culinary offerings — from two signature restaurants embracing the environment with al fresco dining areas, to two tasteful bars and a wellness-inspired café.

Al Nawras Island will join three LXR Hotels & Resorts properties already operating in the Middle East, Africa and Turkey, as well as the recently announced Wadi Hanifah, LXR Hotels & Resorts at Diriyah Gate, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“The UAE’s burgeoning capital has established itself as a global hub in recent years and has seen incredible development in terms of hospitality, sports and tourism,” says Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East & Africa, Hilton. “I believe Al Nawras Island will complement Abu Dhabi’s luxury hotel landscape perfectly and we look forward to guests experiencing this unique property.”
