Luxury for less in Abu Dhabi

Despite the current economic gloom, leading independent operator, Premier Holidays, reports that 'top-end' product continues to sell strongly which indicates that there are still plenty of people willing to spend considerable sums on their holidays.

However, it's also true that these same people are looking for something extra special and are also not averse to a bargain, provided that the high standards they demand are still met.

So Premier has come up with a fantastic offer on a luxury break to Abu Dhabi which combines business class flights with Etihad Airways from Heathrow, private hotel transfers and five nights with breakfast at the Shangri-La Hotel Qaryat Al Beri.

Facilities at the hotel, set on a long, private beach, include the Chi Spa, five swimming pools and a wide choice of restaurants and bars. However, what makes this hotel unique is its very own 'Souk', a traditional Arabian market set on a waterway and where visitors meander from shop to shop on Arabic gondolas.

For breaks booked by 28 February and taken by the end of March, Premier is offering this luxurious holiday for £2085 per person (twin share), a massive saving of £823 each.

And for anyone looking for an additional excuse for a visit, there's an Andrea Bocelli concert in Abu Dhabi on 27 March. Tickets - which range in price from £70 to £300, are pre-bookable by visiting Boxofficeme.com.
