Hilton has announced that its luxury brand LXR Hotels & Resorts will soon debut in Abu Dhabi with a new resort surrounded by lush greenery and stunning landscapes on the private Al Nawras Island in Abu Dhabi.

Al Nawras Island, LXR Hotels & Resorts will mark the brand’s entry into the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Perfectly situated in one of Abu Dhabi’s most recreational yet tranquil areas and designed with elements inspired by the destination, Hilton states that “the resort will offer an exclusive escape on a private, secluded island, while still providing seamless access for those who wish to explore the vibrant city and its cultural experiences”.

The all-villa resort will feature 80 expansive and elegantly designed beach and water villas as well as a 450-square-meter, two-bedroom Royal Villa surrounding a state-of-the-art golf course.

Carlos Khneisser, Vice President – Development, Middle East & Africa, Hilton, said:

We’re delighted to be bringing LXR Hotels & Resorts to Abu Dhabi with Al Nawras Island.
