Abu Dhabi Corniche has long been a hotspot for visitors to the UAE’s capital city. Bestowed with a stunning mosaic promenade, sugar-white sand beaches and glistening waters, the landmark has become the ultimate destination for those wishing to capture that picture perfect shot. However, across those shimmering waters of the Arabian Gulf, an architectural icon of the city is now garnering all the attention from travellers – Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi.
A property built on the rich heritage and soul of the emirate, the city’s journey from an ancient seafaring village to a modern cosmopolitan metropolis is found at every turn. A multifaceted lifestyle hub, interiors showcase a sophisticated aquatic design that is fused with contemporary Arabesque arts for a finish that offers a history lesson as well as an exhibition of art to admire.
Seamlessly blending the very best of Arabian and Turkish culture, dining and hospitality, bed down for the evening in one of the 471 elegant guest rooms and family suites that surrender breathtaking views of Abu Dhabi’s cityscape and the iridescent Gulf. Ranging from Deluxe Rooms and Senior Suites to the gargantuan Royal Suite, respite and refined relaxation is guaranteed, no matter where you decide to hang your hat.
Fully rested, leave your luxurious sanctuary and explore the multi-board destination that has something for everyone. If you consider yourself a gourmand, there are seven diverse dining outlets that serve up a plethora of cuisines including international buffets, Italian, Asian and Turkish specialties, with more enticing venues to be revealed later in the year. With cravings taken care of, head outdoors to a pristine private beach to soak up the gentle Abu Dhabi sun or enjoy a dip at one of four pools – two family pools, an exclusive kids’ pool and a serene adults-only pool – that suit all needs. When it’s time for some excitement, raise the tempo of your stay at the newly opened splash park and aqua tower.
The entertainment doesn’t stop when you are back on terra firma. Delve into a world of experiences with the resort’s curated, full-day programmes for all ages, where you can enjoy cocktail masterclasses, live band and dance shows, workout classes and indulgent spa treatments. Little ones are kept busy too with the extensive kids’ schedule that includes painting, watersports and games. And don’t forget to make time to go on adventure and check-out the resort’s close surroundings. Perfectly located in the heart of the city, the property is within walking distance of Marina Mall and Heritage Village as well as short drives to Qasr Al Watan, Qasr Al Hosn and Mina Zayed. However you spend your stay at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi, the choice is entirely yours.
