Saadiyat Beach Club

Abu Dhabi


This luxurious, exclusive beach club, spa and fitness centre is open to day visitors and offers an expanse of pristine beach with plenty of sun-loungers and umbrellas, a beautiful pool if seawater isn't your thing, a workout room offering yoga classes plus a handful of upmarket bars and cafes. Protected hawksbill turtles nest along the coast and the occasional school of dolphins is spotted in the turquoise waters.
