Have you ever wanted to sip on some tea while basking in the honeyed glow of the UAE’s commitment to sustainability? Well, Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island has taken your afternoon tea dreams and drizzled them with pure gold—well, honey. Introducing the Shahd Honey Afternoon Tea, where buzzing bees and mouth-watering treats meet in perfect harmony.
Let’s break it down, shall we? First of all, this isn’t just any afternoon tea. This is a honey-infused, ecosystem-friendly experience that’ll have you feeling like a bee yourself, but without all the buzzing. Why? Because the hotel is proudly home to 30 beehives (yep, you heard that right), cared for by a passionate team dedicated to supporting the local environment. These hardworking bees churn out up to 100 kilograms of honey per harvest! So, let’s just say these little guys are pretty busy making sure your tea time is sweeter than ever.
The Menu: A Symphony of Sweet and Savory
Now, let’s talk about what’s on the table—literally. This isn’t your grandma’s afternoon tea. Oh no, the chefs at Osmo – Lounge & Bar have crafted a spread that’s as delightful as it is delicious. You’ll be nibbling on savory bites like honey-baked Camembert with a fig tart that’s practically begging you to Instagram it, honey-glazed shrimp shooters that’ll make your taste buds dance, and baked falafel rolls with a drizzle of honeycomb that’ll have you questioning all your past snack choices.
And let’s not forget the sweet stuff. We’re talking Shahd Honey Cake that’s so moist, it might just change your life, raspberry honey chocolate entremets (because, yes, we’re fancy like that), and of course, the classic freshly baked scones served with clotted cream, lemon curd, and—you guessed it—Shahd Honey. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you.
The Vibe: Honey, It’s a Whole Mood
Not only does the food taste divine, but the setting is something out of a honey-coated dream. Think honey-inspired table settings, a flavored honey display that’ll make you feel like you’re in a chic beekeepers’ paradise, and a seasonal welcome drink that feels like a sweet little hug. Oh, and did we mention unlimited coffee or tea? Yeah, that’s a thing. So sip, savor, and just let the honey-infused magic happen.

Shahd, which means “pure honey” in Arabic, is a local treasure, and Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island has woven it into every aspect of the experience. From jars of the golden goodness to breakfast displays at Graphos Social Kitchen, honey-infused menus for meetings, and even honey ice cream that’ll make you wonder why you haven’t been eating it for years, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy this liquid gold.
