As Ramadan draws to a close, families across the UAE begin planning how to mark the joyful occasion of Eid Al Fitr. This year, Anantara Hotels & Resorts is welcoming the celebration with thoughtfully curated experiences across two of its most distinctive properties: Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Abu Dhabi and Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara.

Set in dramatically different landscapes yet united by a spirit of warm hospitality, both destinations offer families the chance to reconnect, unwind and celebrate together in meaningful ways.

At Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Abu Dhabi, the natural beauty of the Arabian Gulf meets expansive savannah landscapes, creating an idyllic setting for a memorable Eid escape. Located just off the coast of Abu Dhabi, the island is home to three distinctive resorts that cater to different styles of travel. Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort offers secluded beachfront villas, while Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort places guests amid wildlife-rich grasslands. Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara provides a more traditional resort experience, ideal for families seeking comfort alongside adventure.

During Eid, the island invites guests to slow down and celebrate together through a range of relaxed and family-friendly experiences. One highlight is the “Eid by the Sea” celebration hosted at Desert Islands Resort & Spa. As evening falls, families gather poolside for a festive dining experience designed to reflect the warmth and generosity of the occasion.

Long communal tables and a family-style set menu encourage conversation and connection, while the sea breeze and open skies create an atmosphere that feels both lively and intimate. Younger guests are also part of the celebration, with activities designed to keep children entertained throughout the evening.

The special Eid dinner will take place from 20–23 March (subject to moon sighting), from 7:00pm to 10:30pm at the Main Pool of Desert Islands Resort & Spa, priced at AED 320 per person. Families can make reservations via experience.sby@anantara.com.

Together, the island’s nature-filled setting and thoughtful hospitality create a celebration that captures the true spirit of Eid.
