Here we are, enjoying another great afternoon tea but this time we’re not in London, not even close. The TripTemptation team has landed in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and we've headed straight for Etihad Towers - the tallest and newest towers in Abu Dhabi. Our visit started with a very special tea ceremony.
The ceremony takes place in the Jumeirah Etihad Towers on the observation Deck on the 74th floor, 300 metres up.
It's the ideal place to discover Abu Dhabi’s splendid skyline, with a unique panoramic view of the Persian Gulf and the capital of the UAE.
The second you enter the place you are stunned by the view. Huge windows create an unforgettable feeling of freedom, combined with amazement.
There is no table with the best view by the window; every table is considered to be the best table.
The observation deck has a 360-degree view so you can easily walk around the tower to explore every bit of the city surrounding you.
Once you’ve settled down, it is time for the ceremony. You start your meal with a refreshing cold tea following by many different sandwiches. The rich menu will suit practically everyone. There’s even a cake shop at your disposal. We suggest trying some of the fresh salads and quiches on offer.
Don’t forget that, after the main course, you are provided with some delicious desserts, accompanied by a traditional tea selection. We chose the delicious Oolong tea and Royal Moroccan tea.
If it wasn’t for the view, I would definitely have had the feeling that I was enjoying my afternoon tea in a cosy and luxurious English restaurant.
Observation Deck at 300, with its views, décor and famous high tea, has become one of Abu Dhabi’s most frequented attractions by tourists and locals alike.
If you are planning to visit Abu Dhabi, this is definitely an experience you won’t want to miss.
When we were planning our vacation on the biggest island of the Canary archipelago, first of all we decided to explore the capital – Santa Cruz. We knew this place was not the most popular tourist destination, but we couldn’t miss the main city of Tenerife. And we didn’t regret it as we were lucky to stay at the legendary Iberostar Grand Mencey Hotel, where the King of Spain once celebrated his birthday.
Last winter, we were lucky enough to enjoy a brand-new, beachfront, all-suite hotel by the Caribbean Sea. The massive grand opening took place at the end of November, 2016, and now this 5-star resort is ready to invite you to relax.
Rūmene Manor, the country estate of Riga's 5* Hotel Bergs, is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. Nestled not far from the capital, Rūmene Manor has a rich history stretching all the way back to 1876, and boasts a Neo-Renaissance style that historians agree is truly something special.
As a big fan of and frequent visitor to the Maldives, I’m often asked which accommodation is best when travelling to these sunny islands. On Angsana Velavaru, the choice is obvious – it has to be a water villa. Angsana’s second Maldivian property, which has a strong Asian feel, is most notable for its ‘InOcean’ water villas. Their uniqueness lies in their remoteness from the shore and absolute privacy – the stand-alone structures are situated a kilometre from the main island and are reachable only by boat across the lagoon.
