Set against the atmospheric hush of private lounges, horizon-lined decks, and architectural thresholds, ERTH Abu Dhabi is a revered retreat, reflecting the quiet tension of spaces meant to be passed through. Through its expansive 75-hectare space, explore this wonder which is both a tribute to Emirati heritage and an escape for all to indulge.

Perhaps it is the sense of serenity when you glide by ERTH’s gardens or the dome that rises like a silent prayer, that makes you take a moment to breathe in the landscape. Regardless, a sense of renewal and awakening awaits as soon as you arrive in its vicinity, which is unsurprising given the venue itself was a direct vision by His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE.

A place known for celebrating and harnessing the Emirati way of life and preserving the legacy of the Emirates is ERTH itself. In this, ERTH, meaning ‘legacy’ in Arabic, signifies the quest for cultural preservation, a true honour to history while embracing the contemporary.

Naturally, the result of this timeless landmark, formerly known as the Armed Forces Officers Club, became the Emirate’s most prized possession, where culture and tradition are surely everlasting.

A thoughtful space reimagined, here, a welcoming ambience of classic Emirati hospitality awaits every guest. Outside, where manicured gardens stretch towards the seafront and where palm date trees greet you, this structure’s grand entrance welcomes you with a vast sense of patriotic pride and signature refinement.

A haven coloured in calming soft hues of beige, a foot inside would be equally resplendent. A design where spaces are generously sized, ERTH encompasses an unapologetic mix of interiors and decor designed to be comfort-first.

An elevation made to remember the traditional way of life inside, welcomes you with whispers of the past. From the suite’s ceilings that are embossed from arish (date leaves) to walls infused with warm-earth-toned palettes that echo the desert, each room, from the suites to the vast villas sitting by Khor Al Maqta, every piece of architecture and decor is a direct reflection to age-old tradition.

With every corner touched by intention, ERTH is where Emirati hospitality welcomes you with sincerity. Deeply personal and graceful, here, each defining moment is marked by honour.

Of course, no true portrait of Emirati culture is complete without the cuisine. A true feast for the senses, ERTH Abu Dhabi takes guests through bursts of local and global flavours. A journey through seven distinct dining experiences, whether it is Al Rimal, where Arabic flavours reign supreme, or Ergon Deli & Cafe, where the true essence of Greek cuisines is met with modern techniques, wherever you opt to unwind and indulge, the experience will remain truly enviable.

Whether it’s the soaring ceilings of the Al Mish’hab Hall or the shaded spaces of Al Rayeh Lounge, each venue has been curated with care and boasts flourishing banquets and dinners, ensuring that every detail of the occasion can be proudly etched into memory.

Beyond the walls of the luxury resort, ERTH exemplifies the art of wellness to near perfection – a natural evolution from its rich history.
