Saadiyat Island sunsets are a magical experience. The transition of the sun’s bright yellow glow to fading orange hues adds the perfect lighting effect to the majestic picture of the Arabian Gulf’s glistening waters and the sugar-white sands of Saadiyat Beach. Nestled among the floating pavilions and swaying palm trees of The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, Sontaya offers prime viewing of these seductive vistas that stretch out towards the horizon.
Sophisticated yet chic in design, with soft mood lighting spilling out onto wooden terraces, Sontaya lends itself to a romantic evening for two or a casual gathering among friends.
A long-time favourite of Abu Dhabi’s culinary minded locals and visitors, the beautiful Asian restaurant, whose name translates as ‘sunset’ in Thai, has returned to the city’s culinary scene with a renewed vision and menu.
Imagined by the expert kitchen team, the new menu features a culinary mosaic of Southeast Asian fare, dipping between the standout dishes of wok-fried beef and ginger lotus sea bass and classic plates such as nasi goreng and green chicken curry. Complementing the exquisite servings is a selection of handcrafted cocktails, inspired by the aromatic notes of Asian botanicals, helping you ease into a state of relaxation as you soak up the setting of the sun.
For those searching for a more intimate experience, Sontaya boasts two private dining rooms that can accommodate up to 55 guests. Ideal for a celebratory meal, the restaurant’s team can curate an exclusive and personalised experience just for you.
Sontaya offers an unforgettable fusion of breathtaking vistas, inspired cuisine and a vibrant atmosphere that is reminiscent of the finest epicurean experiences of Southeast Asia. A memorable dining encounter awaits.
