Inspired by the infamous Pont des Arts bridge in Paris, wherein passersby attach locks with their names written or engraved on them to the railing or grate on the side of the bridge, Saadiyat Island invited guests to participate in the stunt by penning a short note detailing what they love most about Saadiyat Island, or what love means to them. The notes were then placed in each glass bottle and transported to Saadiyat Beach Club a week later.

Accepting the award on behalf of Miral, Taghrid AlSaeed, executive director of group communications and destination marketing, Miral said, “We are driven by a passion to bring people together, build a sense of community, and create heartfelt connections. We are thrilled to receive this recognition by Guinness World Records™, reflecting our commitment to deliver unforgettable memories and sparking moments of joy for all our guests, while achieving our vision for Saadiyat Island and contributing to Abu Dhabi’s growth. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this milestone possible.”

Participating destinations at Saadiyat Island include Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas, Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort, Nurai Resort, Soul Beach, Saadiyat Beach Club, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, and Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas. The activity was open to guests of all ages, including guests at the destination and aimed to showcase how ‘love is a journey’ for all.
