On Friday, October 6, Saadiyat Island Abu Dhabi achieved a remarkable feat, securing the Guinness World Records™ title for the largest display of messages in bottles. This achievement not only reflects the island’s uniqueness but also its commitment to creating memorable experiences.
A total of 1,100 bottles, each containing a unique message, were collected and proudly showcased at Saadiyat Beach, leaving spectators in awe of this breathtaking display.
Inspired by Paris’s iconic Pont des Arts bridge, Saadiyat Island invited guests to join in this extraordinary endeavor. Participants were encouraged to express their fondness for Saadiyat Island or share personal reflections on the concept of love. These heartfelt notes were then thoughtfully placed inside glass bottles and transported to Saadiyat Beach Club.
At the beach club, a talented local sand artist creatively arranged the bottles, forming the words ‘I ♥ Saadiyat Island,’ adding an artistic touch to this world-record display.
Taghrid AlSaeed, Executive Director of Group Communications and Destination Marketing at Miral, expressed the island’s mission, saying, “We are driven by a passion to bring people together, build a sense of community, and create heartfelt connections.

It emphasized that ‘love is a journey’ for everyone, transcending age and background.
Furthermore, the commitment to sustainability was evident in the materials used for this event. Eco-friendly bottles, recyclable paper, and sustainable jute thread used to secure the notes underscored the island’s dedication to preserving its natural environment and indigenous wildlife, aligning perfectly with the Year of Sustainability.
