What would happen if someone tasked Alejandro Jodorowsky with creating an opulent desert palace, drawing inspiration from Star Wars and the Royal Family? We imagine the final result would look something like Erth, Abu Dhabi. Erth, meaning ‘legacy’ in Arabic, is an architectural behemoth of a resort, and even to the most initiated globe trotter, this sun soaked haven is an indelible feast for the senses.
Comprised of six restaurants, a blue-flag certified private beach, swimming pool, indoor and outdoor recreational hub, fitness centre and a gym, a recently added ballroom, with 237 rooms, 42 suites, and 13 villas, you’ll be lucky if you don’t get lost, but our instincts tell us that you secretly might want to.
Let’s be honest, we’ve all been to those hotels that claim to offer a fitness centre, let alone a gym, but upon arrival one is quickly disheartened to find all but one treadmill and perhaps a few free weights that don’t exceed 10kg. Erth makes no such empty promise. If you’re looking to hit a new PR on the bench press, or want attempt eclipsing Michael Phelps as the fastest man in the water, then the Olympic sized swimming pool or the plethora of gym equipment will quench all your fitness needs, and then some. Gym, beach, food, is the order of activities we’d humbly suggest.
Previously the Armed Forces Officers Club & Hotel, Erth is a unique landmark destination for the ultimate Emirati experience, providing authentic cuisines and activities located in the heart of Abu Dhabi. For those looking for a tranquil escape from their daily routines, the serene and rejuvenating Erth resort will leave you wanting more, if not extending your stay for just a few extra days.
As Jerry Seinfeld once said, “there’s no such thing as fun for the whole family,” and although that may be true more often than not, in this instance, we’ve finally proved him wrong.
