There are two game-changers at Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort, the beach-side resort in the Eastern Region of Abu Dhabi:

One is predictable, given the UAE’s continued rate of progress and development – and that is a super-duper 4 lane divided highway with 160 kph speed limit… and if you’ve driven the previous truck road, you’ll know what an upgrade that is!

And now Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort is a theoretical hour and a half drive from the capital city!

Bang! And you’re on unspoilt, unique, and remote white sandy beach for the weekend!

Pampered by a luxury resort with all amenities,

splendid garden grounds,

and newly developed private chalets!

And the second game-changer?

In a sense this one is even more powerful than an entire highway infrastructure project…

…because this one is self-initiated!

Enter gourmet fine-dining at the highest level.

From an exquisite pea soup, served in two phases, all the way to a fantastic and creative deconstructed dessert,

Danat Jebel Dhanna has upped the ante, into the stratosphere of fine-dining, challenging the best Capital restaurants!

With its new concept, The Chef’s Table, an exclusive menu is presented to distinguished guests.

An elegantly VIP table is prepared, and the very best and rarest ingredients and tasters are offered.

Absolutely superb in all regards, including the dignified hospitality of the resort’s GM – one cannot believe one’s eyes, or palate!

This could be Monaco, this could be Ibiza, but it’s not – it’s Ruwais being elevated to a fine-dining destination.

I cannot say if this will catch on, or if it can be maintained, but I can assure that The Chef’s Table can match and exceed any tip-top fine-dining establishment, particularly when taking a cost-benefit ratio into consideration. Try it and see. Advance booking is required.

And all this while you enjoy a peaceful weekend on a splendid beach, at the Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort.
