Without further ado, here’s Ameen Mohamed from St Regis Saadiyat Island…
inVOYAGE: Ameen, thanks for sitting down with us today and it’s lovely to catch up with you ahead of our inVOYAGE Abu Dhabi edition. Before we touch on your property and what our delegates can expect at Saadiyat Island, could you briefly tell us what does it mean to be a part of inVOYAGE and to be one of our host partner for 2025?
Ameen, St. Regis Saadiyat Island: It’s very special for us to be a part of inVOYAGE and serving as a host partner for 2025 is an incredible opportunity to showcase The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort to a global audience of high-calibre event professionals. As a team we truly believe in the unparalleled luxury, exquisite service, and unique setting our property provides and can’t wait to showcase our exceptional event offerings to all of you! Get ready to walk through the largest ballroom in Abu Dhabi, enjoy exquisite dining experiences and relax in total beachfront serenity. Join us in Abu Dhabi and see what our resort can offer your next incentive!
inVOYAGE: We can’t wait! You touched there on the opportunities the resort can offer the incentive industry. Can you go into that in a bit more detail? In your eyes what makes this property stand out for such a high-calibre luxury event?
Ameen, St. Regis Saadiyat Island: First of all, it’s worth noting that the property is inspired by the St. Regis legacy and Saadiyat Island's natural beauty. For event planners that means unparalleled beachside escapes, impeccable luxury and the very best hotel service. Enjoy 24-hour St. Regis Butler Service – perfect for all the demands of a corporate incentive group or celebrate key achievements in Abu Dhabi's largest ballroom, ideal for gala dinners and high-end entertaining. There’s also our Regal Ballroom which boasts a variety of dining venues, making culinary excellence a central part of the experience. With 9 additional meeting spaces and some of the best Arabian Gulf views, we provide everything that’s needed for a truly successful event start to finish
inVOYAGE: Sounds ideal! Are there any special elements of the hotel’s design, facilities and location in particular that you think will leave a lasting impression on the people attending inVOYAGE?
Ameen, St. Regis Saadiyat Island: If I had to choose just one, I think it would have to be the setting and views over the Gulf. Just minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi and the Saadiyat Cultural District, our resort offers a truly unique view of the beach and Arabian Gulf. Overlooking a pristine beach and the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf, the resort offers a serene island escape just minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi and the Saadiyat Cultural District. Situated on the island’s premier address, the iconic beachfront resort features Mediterranean-inspired interiors within its refined hotel rooms and suites. Guests can enjoy three outdoor pools, a luxury indoor lap pool, The St. Regis Spa, and eight destination restaurants and bars. The resort's Mediterranean-inspired architecture blends seamlessly with contemporary interiors and natural materials. Saadiyat Island, known for its protected wildlife, also offers the chance to see gazelles roaming freely.
inVOYAGE: What are some key experiences or moments you're most excited for our inVOYAGERS to discover during their time at the hotel and on Saadiyat Island?
Ameen, St. Regis Saadiyat Island: The hotel boasts a private stretch of white sand and stunning views of Saadiyat Island’s azure waters, where dolphins can occasionally be spotted. It’s a short drive from the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Beach Golf Course, and the upcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, with plenty of attractions, restaurants, and shopping in Downtown Abu Dhabi. Adrenaline seekers are just 20 minutes from Yas Island’s theme parks, and vibrant nightlife, while the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is also easily accessible for a cultural experience. So without spoiling the programme too much, there’s plenty to look forward to!
inVOYAGE: And finally, what does a typical incentive at your hotel in Saadiyat Island look like?
Ameen, St. Regis Saadiyat Island: At St. Regis Saadiyat Island we always try to maintain a balanced blend of cultural experiences, gourmet dining, and relaxation in our incentive programmes. This can include fine cuisine at renowned restaurants like Mazi Abu Dhabi and Buddha-Bar Beach Abu Dhabi, exploring cultural landmarks such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and participating in unique experiences like a Bedouin-inspired desert adventure. We always aim to provide plenty of opportunities for relaxation whether that be by our stunning pool or beach, and always aim to ensure a well-rounded and memorable stay.
inVOYAGE: Well it was lovely to catch up with you today Ameen, and I’m sure I can speak for all our inVOYAGERs when I say we’re incredibly excited to see the property for ourselves as we head down there next September!
