Hotels near Sir Bani Yas Island
Al Dhafra Region - Abu Dhabi - UAE
Sir Bani Yas Island is a 87-square-km nature reserve 200 km west of Abu Dhabi - the UAE's largest wildlife conservation area, founded in the 1970s by Sheikh Zayed as a personal project. The island holds 13000+ free-roaming animals including Arabian oryx (rescued from near-extinction), giraffes, cheetahs, gazelles, ostriches, and migratory flamingos. Three Anantara resorts on the island offer overnight stays.
Day trip options include private 4WD safari (around 1500 AED per person from Abu Dhabi including transport, lunch, and 4-hour safari), or seaplane day trip (4500+ AED) for a 30-minute flight. Overnight Anantara stays from 2500 AED a room. Activities on the island include archery, mountain biking, snorkelling, and kayaking through the mangrove channels. December-March is the prime season.
Pro Tip: Book an overnight at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villas - the private villas overlook the wildlife reserve and the morning safari catches animals at their most active. The seaplane day trip is faster than the 200-km drive each way.
