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.

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.

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

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!

I personally don’t consider this hotel 5 stars starting by the service of the staff at the reception in exception of Amir A; it was extremely challenging to get what Expedia gave us as platinum members and Expedia was unable to communicate either with the hotel so we had to spend our time on this. The hotel surroundings is beautiful, there are deers, ducks, birds… this was my favorite part.
