Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villas

Margarita Fisher

Half the villas have direct access to the ocean, the other half is facing the bay - no swimming there, but views, birds and animals watching is great. All villas except 21 where we stayed have fence and very private. Villa 21 has an opening in the side fence where other people are walking by and can see you. Each villa has a private pool - can be made either hot or cold (by request), some villas have infinity pool. Beautiful pretty big infinity pool in the common area at the beach. Lounge chairs and umbrellas at the beach front, right by the water and plenty of sitting accommodations at the villa itself. Peacocks roaming around and small gazelles. The villas are perfect for watching sunrises. Pretty good restaurant with extensive menu. We enjoyed daily breakfast. Full bar and happy hour ( drinks discounted) from 5-7pm. The listing mentions outdoor shower in villas, but there wasn’t one - just a placeholder for it without hookups, not sure if that’s coming some time in the future. Currently (November 2025) there are renovations and construction going on by the bike path, so we had noise at night from construction vehicles which is unfortunate and we were not given any heads up from hotel about this. Otherwise this is a wonderful property, great for night photography and moon photography-especially the side of the hotel where no bike path as it has lighting all night.

We stayed a night here in the savannah villa. It looks amazing and faces the forest and you can always see deer and birds and peacocks nearby the pool and villa. There is a private pool as well. Service and everything is top notch. You have to get down and park your car at the sir baniyas ferry station, there will be a ferry to the island.

We had such a fantastic time by the pool thanks to Greg! He is full of energy, always smiling, and made every moment so much fun. His creativity and ability to engage both kids and adults is truly impressive. Whether it was games, activities, or just creating a lively atmosphere, Greg made sure everyone felt included and entertained. Thank you, Greg, for making our poolside experience unforgettable – you are a star at Anantara! 🌴☀️💦

My stay at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort was truly unforgettable. The resort offers a stunning location, peaceful surroundings, and top-tier service. I would like to give special thanks to Hassan at the reception for his warm smile, exceptional hospitality, and prompt attention to every detail, making us feel completely at home. Also, a huge thank you to Khaled, our safari tour guide, for his deep knowledge of the island’s wildlife, his cheerful personality, and his effort to make the experience both educational and memorable. In short, I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a unique and luxurious getaway, and I can’t wait to return.
