This holiday season, book a private seaplane charter with Seawings and fly to your next island holiday in style – the perfect treat for families and couples looking to discover the UAE capital
Abu Dhabi is well known for its cultural landmarks, plush resorts and glamorous malls, yet some of the greatest adventures can be found on its smaller islands. The UAE capital is made up of more than 200 islands, some of which can easily be accessed by road and ferry. But with so much to discover, one of the best ways to take it all in is by flying to your destination, allowing more time for exploration. In keeping with the luxury that awaits visitors on these islands, seaplane charter company, Seawings, offers private flights from Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
With Cessna seaplanes for up to nine passengers, each seat is by the window to ensure uninterrupted aerial vistas. The water take-off and landing add to the sense of escape. But nothing beats the thrill of viewing the UAE’s most remarkable sights from 1,500 feet above the ground. Making family holidays even more memorable this season, Seawings offers two exclusive island experiences. Nestled in the remote far western region of Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas Island promises an African-style safari without leaving the region. While off the coast of Saadiyat Island, Zaya Nurai Island serves as the ideal tropical escape for beach lovers. What makes the experience even more exciting is cutting down on the long road and ferry commute, and arriving at your destination in style.
/ Sir Bani Yas Island
A stunning combination of rugged landscapes, mangrove forests and coastal waters, the charming Sir Bani Yas Island can be accessed by a five-hour road and ferry journey. But a seaplane flight promises the quickest (and most scenic) route. On the island, embark on a safari through the Arabian Wildlife Park, home to more than 13,000 free-roaming animals, including indigenous species like the Arabian oryx and sand gazelle. Even the waters surrounding Sir Bani Yas Island are teeming with dolphins and sea turtles. For history buffs, the destination boasts one of the region’s oldest archaeological sites with the most significant discovery being the ruins of an ancient Christian monastery that dates back to the late sixth century AD. While a day trip is a great option, those looking to make the most of their visit can extend their escape with a stay at a trio of plush Anantara resorts.
