We have stayed at 3 Anantara locations so far and service is excellent. Rooms are beautifully decorated and well equipped. Staff are kind, professional and responsive. This location was a quick 15 minute speed boat ride from the pier. We had a sunset beach pool villa and really enjoyed our time. The only gripe we have (and this isn’t location specific but just a commentary on Anantara in general) is with the F&B services. While I have a dietary restriction that they did their best to accommodate, the other food and drinks are definitely not up to par for what you are paying. My husband and I haven’t been impressed at any locations but, at this location, breakfast was really underwhelming. I hope they can improve upon this in the future as it really is a shame. Service otherwise is excellent and you feel very pampered.

We had an amazing stay at Anantara World Islands and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. A special thank you to the wonderful team who made our stay so memorable: Ralna and Diva from Helios for their warm hospitality during our dining experience, Lukman, who was always around and incredibly attentive throughout our stay, Hamada from the Front Office for the warm welcome and for arranging an upgrade to a beautiful Sunset Villa, and Rakesh from the Spa for such a relaxing treatment. The entire team made us feel genuinely welcomed. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, we will never forget this trip and hope to return again.

I had absolutely amazing experience at Anantara world islands resort this weekend. The island was quite big and spacious. We felt really amazed to find there peacocks, ducks and gazelles. The villa was spacious and comfortable with big nice tub! The villa pool was clean and also spacious. We had fun with family in the pool. The staff in the resort was very accomodating and attentive. Value for money!

We had the most incredible stay at Anantara World Islands in Dubai! You don't feel you are in the UAE at all.. but you are still here :) From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed. We had originally booked a villa with a pool, and the team gave us a complimentary upgrade to the next category. This thoughtful gesture made our experience even more special. In fact, this gesture made us decide to return for a second visit! And we got a complimentary upgrade again :) what a great team and place, different level of guest experience! The service throughout both stays was exceptional .. attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. Our villa was stunning, with a private pool and direct access to the beach, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We loved exploring the island. It’s beautifully maintained, with wonderful facilities and plenty of activities for kids. Playing Padel at night was an absolute highlight, the court was amazing.. and the recreation room was huge and packed with fun activities for everyone. Being able to enjoy the island’s nature and see the animals moving freely added an extra touch of magic to our stay. The dining experiences were enjoyable, though the options felt a little limited. That said, we loved the in-room dining and tried every dining experience available .. each one delightful in its own way. The spa was another highlight, offering total relaxation and indulgence. Everything about Anantara World Islands was amazing, from the villas to the service, activities, and serene surroundings. We can’t wait for our next visit! For the third time!

An unforgettable experience at Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort. The private pool villa was beautiful, spacious, and perfectly clean. The entire resort is very well maintained with a calm and luxurious atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making the stay truly special. A highlight was the meditation session with singing bowls — our teacher was a true professional. After the session I felt completely renewed and deeply relaxed. Thank you to the whole team for such an exceptional level of hospitality. I will definitely return.

Response to the owner’s reaction to Martina’s review. Thank you for your response. However, it only confirms how our situation was handled. Today, you state that the reason for the cancellation was weather conditions and safety concerns. However, at the time of cancellation, the reason communicated through Booking.com was that the customer’s credit card was invalid, even though our stay had been fully prepaid approximately six months in advance. Your current response therefore makes it clear that the actual reason for the cancellation was different from the one presented at the time the reservation was cancelled. We consider that extremely serious. We had already arrived in Dubai as a group of 7 people, including children — two families travelling together — during peak season, with a confirmed and fully prepaid stay. In such a situation, finding last-minute replacement accommodation for 7 people, with a comparable standard and ideally rooms close to each other, is exceptionally difficult. The way the cancellation reason was presented through Booking.com also had a major practical consequence for us. Because the reservation was marked in a way that created the impression that the issue originated on the customer’s side, Booking.com refused to address our claim for replacement accommodation under the rules applicable when a cancellation is made by the property. The result was that we had to secure new accommodation ourselves immediately, at our own expense, from a very limited selection and at a significantly higher price. Although the original amount was later refunded, this did not resolve the exchange-rate loss, the higher accommodation costs, or the stress placed on our entire family upon arrival in Dubai. For that reason, the offer of a 25% discount on a future stay does not appear to be an adequate remedy. This review is not about the weather. It is about how a confirmed and fully prepaid family reservation was handled, and how the practical consequences of the entire situation were left entirely to the guest. After this experience, we believe any guest should think very carefully before paying such a substantial amount many months in advance, particularly if even a confirmed and fully prepaid reservation may still offer no real certainty on arrival.

Enjoyed my stay so much . The Sevice wa amazing people are helpful and always serve with a smile. Food had a great variety and great view on the sea. I only thing that bothered me that the peacocks go on the fence of my villa and fly over which was scary for me as I was sitting in the pool!! I know they are friendly but I got scared and didn’t enjoy sitting outside for that reason. I don’t know if there is a solution to this issue or not
