From Zoom wedding to dream stay at Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas

The extraordinary five-star resort on Saadiyat Island makes the newlywed’s dream come true with an unforgettable honeymoon getaway.

We see a lot of changed plans at this time of lockdown from bigger events, socialization, and personal plans. Yet, when things seem to be put on to a temporary stop, there is one thing that goes on. Romance never halted. It grows and flourishes in people even at the most challenging times. When you are in love nothing can stop you, creativity and determination are key to keep love burning. And this is where technology plays a significant role. It became a way for an inspiring love story of Liam Bek and Solène Montiège when they pushed through tying the knot in Abu Dhabi during these distant times through conferencing app called Zoom. Witnessed by over 100 friends and family members, Liam and Solène proved love prevails and real connection is strong amidst any circumstance.

Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas, a luxurious five-star property on Saadiyat Island, which is well known for its exceptional private villas and unique dining experiences, extended a special invitation to the newlyweds to spend 2 nights at one of their beach villas and celebrate the beginning of a lifetime together. Embellished with a honeymoon set up, the beach villa transformed as the couples’ romantic haven with a specially tailored romantic private dinner prepared by Executive Chef Roberto Saglimbene complementing the whole honeymoon atmosphere for the couple.

As their honeymoon comes to an end at Saadiyat Rotana, Solene and Liam expressed their gratitude: “We would love to thank the management and staff at Saadiyat Rotana for making our unexpected honeymoon so special. The facilities and food were amazing, even in these restricted times, and the staff were very responsible in their approach to safety and social distancing which made us feel safe and secure throughout the stay. We are already looking forward to coming back and would definitely recommend Rotana to others considering a staycation.”

Fabrice Ducry, General Manager of Saadiyat Rotana Resort and Villas quoted, “Hospitality is about fulfilling the elements of creating stories and memories that lives on for a lifetime. With this partial lockdown, now more than ever, it is important to focus on positivity and happiness around us. At Saadiyat Rotana we are taking all the necessary precautionary measures following the guidelines of the local health authorities by disinfecting all areas to create an environment of cocooning that is safe and romantic at the same time. We hope we have given Liam and Solène an experience filled with treasured moments that they will cherish forever”.
