ROADSIDE CHIC
WHERE TO STAY
ROADSIDE CHIC is all about finding those hidden gems—the places that provide a perfect balance of comfort, luxury, exceptional service, and the opportunity to do as much or as little as you want. Summer invites the spirit of escape—longer days, sun-soaked horizons, and the perfect chance to uncover that next hidden gem of a hotel or resort. In this issue of Roadside Chic, we explore two destinations where timeless beauty meets modern indulgence: Abu Dhabi, with its rising cultural cachet and quiet luxury, and Maui, where iconic resorts and barefoot beach elegance continue to captivate. From desert serenity to oceanfront calm, these are the places redefining where your summer story begins.

Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi Perched along a private stretch of white- sand beach overlooking the tranquil straits of Abu Dhabi, the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri is more than a luxury hotel—it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. From the moment you’re welcomed at the grand entrance, it’s clear this is a place where impeccable service meets authentic Arabian elegance. The architecture is a beautiful fusion of traditional Arabic design and modern luxury. Rooms are breathtaking, wrapped in warm tones and natural textures, with every detail curated for comfort. Step out onto your private balcony and you’re met with sweeping ocean views that are nothing short of jaw-dropping.
