A 5 star oasis of calm and tranquility. From the moment we arrived at the dock, we were treated like royalty. The staff, accommodation and food were 5 star. We loved every minute. Special shout out to Sandaru who cleaned our room with every attention to detail and to Aziza, our villa host who was on hand 24hrs a day to meet all of our needs. A truly incredible experience - we will definitely be back!

Worth a visit!

We just came home from a wonderful stay at Anantara World Island! Gayan and the rest of the staff delivered a very good service and attended to every need we came with. The hotel is at a good standard and You get a true Island feeling despite being only 15 minutes sailing from Dubai.

Highly recommended stay

We highly recommend this hotel for a different experience. From the moment you enter the Anantara welcome center you are taken care of, Ahmed & his team were very helpful. The boat trip to the island takes around 15-20 minutes only. Our butler Yoon took great care of us & assisted us whenever we needed. The food, service, spa & beach are all great & we highly recommend this trip

Dubai’s Mini Maldives

The mini Maldives of Dubai! In usual Dubai and Anantara style, the property exceeded expectations. Smooth checkin and lounge on the mainland as you wait for the boat to amazing rooms and service on the island. Great food and a super spa - was there almost daily.

We stayed as a family of 4. Our children are 7 & 4 years old. We had four wonderful days at the resort. Both my wife and I had spa treatments and the children played by the beach, pool and kids club everyday. The staff were amazing, so friendly and attentive and made us feel very special. Thank you so much for a wonderful Experience

Disliked: Staff & service
The staff and management ruined the whole stay for us - they charged for every small extra thing, they were not flexible. And we had a very bad experience with the staff being dishonest, not accommodating and unhelpful. The transportation in and out of the hotel was very inconvenient since it is on an island and there are only a few specific times that they have a boat going back and forth - on top of that they charge money for this basic transportation. We were a few minutes late for the last boat and we had to wait for over 3 hours for the next one. They did not try to help us at all and they still charged us for they boat ride. Besides for all that it is a nice resort and a nice area.
