These Abu Dhabi hotel beaches are now open

Who’s up for a Saadiyat beach staycation?

With Abu Dhabi hotels now allowed to apply for a reopening of their private beaches, following a strict set of government guidelines, staycations in the capital are firmly back on the menu.

The first hotels given the green light for a return to beach life are, shore-enough, all based on Saadiyat Island.

Home to rugged blues and pearly dunes, the island’s private hotel beaches will currently only be available for use to hotel guests, so you’ll need a booking to go bathing.

If you can hear that island life calling, these are your options…

Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas

The famous lazy river and pool complex here may still be closed, but the beach attached to this five-star resort is open and ready for summer tan fans. You can get rooms, with breakfast, in June from around Dhs650 per couple +tax (kids under 12 stay free).
