Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Resorts: Two Eid Escapes, One Island

This Eid Al Adha, Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Resorts invites travellers to step into a rare island escape where nature, privacy, and quiet luxury come together. Set against the untouched landscapes of Sir Bani Yas Island, the Island Discovery experience offers two distinct retreats, each designed to immerse guests in a slower, more meaningful way of travel.

Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Resorts

This Eid Al Adha, escape to one of the UAE’s most extraordinary natural sanctuaries with Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island’s Island Discovery offer, where untouched coastline, open savannah and remarkable wildlife encounters come together on the protected shores of Sir Bani Yas Island.  

Reached by boat and removed entirely from the pace of everyday life, the island offers a rare sense of distance, both physical and emotional, inviting guests to reconnect with nature, stillness and a slower rhythm of travel. Here, travellers can choose between two distinct luxury retreats, each offering its own immersive sense of place.

For those drawn to sea, sky and quiet seclusion: Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort 

Set along a secluded stretch of golden shoreline, Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort is an intimate beachfront sanctuary inspired by a traditional Emirati fishing village, where sea, sand and stillness shape every moment. Comprising just 30 private pool villas lining the beach, guests can choose from spacious one- and two-bedroom retreats ranging from 284 sqm to 865 sqm, complete with private pools, expansive outdoor terraces and sweeping mangrove or Gulf views. 

Designed for complete privacy and the quiet luxury of distance from the mainland, days unfold at a gentler pace- from sunrise walks along untouched sands and kayaking through mangroves to water sports, horseback riding and encounters with the island’s extraordinary wildlife, before retreating to the serenity of your own secluded villa as evening settles over the shoreline. 

With the Island Discovery – Limited Edition offer, stays start from AED 1,200 and include daily breakfast, complimentary stays for children under 12 sharing with parents, late check-out until 2pm (subject to availability), alongside exclusive direct booking privileges including AED 150 spa credit, a floating breakfast and private bicycle track access, adding an extra layer of indulgence to this castaway-style island escape.

For those seeking wilderness, wildlife and safari-style escape: Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort 

Located within the island’s protected Arabian Wildlife Park, Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort offers immersive safari living in the heart of sweeping savannah, where Arabian oryx, gazelles and peacocks roam freely just beyond your private retreat. Grounded, naturally secluded and defined by the quiet luxury of distance from the mainland, the resort offers a striking sense of stillness and connection to nature.
