Winter sun holiday mood, Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas
Abu Dhabi is a surprisingly easy winter sun holiday with kids
Flights taking just under seven hours from the UK have brought Abu Dhabi firmly into focus for families thinking about an autumn or winter sun holiday. The fact that there’s no jet lag to cope with is another big plus. And, of course, the weather is guaranteed wonderful all year round, but from September through to early March, temperatures are European-summer warm: perfect for outdoor activities and Abu Dhabi’s world famous theme parks, as well as all those lovely Arabian Gulf beaches.
New Scott Dunn Explorers Kids Club at Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas
With all that in mind, it’s easy to see why Scott Dunn are particularly excited to share the news about the brand new Scott Dunn Explorers Kids Club which has just opened at Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas on Saadiyat Island.
Designed for children aged between six months and 11 years, the new club sticks with all the very best Scott Dunn traditions like fully trained staff; activity programmes for different age groups; play carefully balanced with learning; outstanding facilities, and its own purpose-built and imaginatively realised space.

Take a night off with Stargazers evening childcare
However, it’s not shy on originality and parents are already making good noises about several innovations. Unsurprisingly, Stargazers evening childcare from 8pm to 10pm is proving very popular. Who doesn’t want to enjoy a little grown-up time at a grown up time of day now and again?
Another bright idea, the ‘sleep room’, is also getting a lot of parental praise. Not least because it’s so well designed, right down to a mix of cots and toddler beds.

But the most important critics of all are kids themselves, and while it might be tricky to pin down one single point of excellence, there’s no doubt playtime on the beach is a big favourite. Activity programmes packed with splashy play, sports, water sports and outdoor adventures, score high as well. Plus, carefully planned age groups makes for a very sociable environment, so holiday friends are a given, just as they should be.
