Whether seen from the air or ground, Erth stands equally grand and majestic. Arriving at this oasis, the gateway sets the tone for what’s to come—moving through the expansive entrance feels like a local reimagining of a lavish road leading to a mega château in France. Originally designed by French architect Roger Taillibert, the hotel welcomes you with a falcon-inspired form, crafted as a tribute to Emirati heritage—a symbol of pride and elegance, standing as a monument in its own right and as a direct legacy to the late His Highness Sheikh Zayed Al Nayhan, the father of the UAE’s vision.
The resort spans 20,000 square feet, draped in soft tans that evoke both the desert and the beach. Stepping inside, any true culturist will feel reassured that the interiors reflect what’s on the outside— Abu Dhabi and the Emirates—cultural, just as travellers hope to experience. The resort doesn’t merely comfort guests with sleek modernity, leaving them disconnected from their surroundings; instead, it offers a modern twist on tradition, providing both the luxury of vacation living and a meaningful cultural experience.
In pursuit of cultural immersion, it’s reassuring to know that this establishment has stood long before its pristine renovation. If the word ‘army’ springs to mind when you think of national pride, you’ll be stepping into the former stomping grounds of UAE Armed Forces officers. What was once a recreational space for disciplined soldiers has evolved and transformed into a luxury marvel that Abu Dhabi proudly showcases.
With respect to its legacy, wellness at Erth is taken seriously. Guests who fear an exercise-less vacation and are passionate about fitness will be delighted by the signature Etizan Fitness brand and wellness centres, making it easy to stay healthy and energized throughout their stay. From world-class sports facilities—including FIFA-certified football courts, tennis courts, outdoor padel tennis, and artificial football fields—to rejuvenating spaces like the Al Waryah Pool and Beach.
You know you’re in a lively place when even the restaurants attract more than just guests. When it’s time to dine, you’ll feel a skip in your step exploring the variety of options.
Start with authentic Greek flavours at Ergon Deli & Café or enjoy modern international dishes at Asrah located at Al Waryah Pool & Beach. For Middle Eastern classics, head to Al Rimal, taste street food from around the world at Ramsa, or unwind with a cup of coffee and a selection of pastries at Al Rayah Lounge.
In a space where it’s hard to point your finger at the best, the best place you can be is the villas. Private, exclusive and luxurious, the villas artfully merge seclusion with service and comfort.
The Villas
If Al Muqtar Strait had a boat tour, the guide would steer his passengers to marvel at Erth’s villas that lie in elegance on its shores. These beachfront villas are the exclusive lodgments of Erth, offering a favoured collection of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and an exclusive three-bedroom villa, each available with either beachfront or poolside views.
The villas are designed with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, inviting natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The hues and accents throughout blend modern luxury with subtle nods to Emirati craftsmanship, such as the chevron pattern—a modern interpretation of traditional UAE weaves. But what truly distinguishes these villas isn’t just their design.
Where service and design compete for excellence, Erth ensures both win. Guests won’t just have a butler; they’ll have a Mudeef—a reflection of warm hospitality rooted in Emirati tradition—at their beck and call. From arranging signature floating breakfasts at poolside villas to attending to every whim, the Mudeef ensures that luxury flows effortlessly throughout the stay.
The one-bedroom villas feature plush king-sized beds, spacious living and dining areas, and private balconies overlooking either the sea or the pool. The two-bedroom villas include a king-sized master bedroom and a twin bedroom, both with direct access to a private pool and expansive decks furnished with sun loungers and private cabanas. Finally, the three-bedroom villa provides a true sense of home, with two king-sized bedrooms, one twin bedroom, a courtyard, a private pool, Jacuzzi, and even a dedicated beach cabana for complete exclusivity. These villas embody a lifestyle where privacy reigns, yet every need is seamlessly met.
The falcon, in all its grace, would nod with approval at Erth—and so do we.
