Pool & Beach Day Pass

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi

When we say this is the ultimate pool and beach day, we mean it! You’ll need every hour you can manage to make the most of all the activities available: as well as access to the gorgeous pools and stunning private beach, the beach club offers complimentary water sports activities, so you can try your hand at kayaking and paddle boarding. The AquaFun Park, sitting 70 metres offshore, is an inflatable bundle of fun for all ages - although you do have to meet a minimum height requirement to use it - and there are all manner of slides and a lazy river to enjoy. Kids can partake in plenty of activities at the Kids Play Zone to keep them occupied while the adults relax in the lush palace grounds - bliss.

As a premier pool and beach day with a tonne of inclusions, it certainly isn’t the cheapest one in the city, but for the setting, the unparalleled amenities and the vast number of activities on offer, it’s well worth it. An iconic location, fabulous pools and a stunning beach, with some of the best views in the city? That’s well worth the splurge if you ask us!

Pool & Beach Day

Saadiyat Beach Club

Unarguably one of the most bougie pool days in Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Beach Club deserves its reputation as a great day out. Always top of the list when you have visitors in town, it shows off the best of the Abu Dhabi pool day scene, with the stunning Saadiyat Beach as a backdrop. It’s pricey, and there’s nothing redeemable on F&B, but ladies can enjoy some perks - and cheaper rates - a couple of times a week.

It’s Ladies Day every Tuesday and Friday, so you can enjoy a day by the water with your girlfriends - or a good book. On Tuesdays, it’ll set you back AED150, and on Fridays AED199, so if you’re one of the lucky ones with a flexible schedule, you’ll be cheering. Sun beds are first come, first serve - so it pays to arrive early.

Availability: daily | 8AM-8PM | Tuesday and Friday ladies only

Price: AED399 couple weekday pass | AED285 male weekday pass | AED225 weekday pass (aside from Tuesday/Friday) | AED599 couple weekend day pass | AED375 male weekend day pass | AED325 weekend day pass | kids vary
