Summer’s golden days are greeted by an abundance of activities at Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, a sublime resort in Abu Dhabi's Khor Al Maqta. Home to an Olympic-sized swimming pool flanked by swaying palms, lazy loungers and poolside dining, as well as a separate kids’ splash pool and a soothing spa and wellness centre, the hotel has everything you need to stay cool during the summer months. Between now and September 30, guests can dial up the adventure with the resort’s Stay & Play package, unlocking access to some of Abu Dhabi’s most coveted attractions.
Designed with active families in mind, the Stay & Play package rewards guests with day passes to their choice of two Yas Island theme parks—Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi and SeaWorld Yas Island, Abu Dhabi—during an overnight stay for two adults and two children under the age of 12 in a Fairmont Room. Additional perks include access to the Kids’ Club and Kids Pool, full pool and beach access, breakfast buffet at the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant CuiScene and complimentary pick-up and drop-off via the Yas Express Shuttle.
After the high-speed thrills and aquatic adventures of Yas Island, guests have a smorgasbord of culinary options to choose from back at the hotel thanks to eight restaurants, bars and lounges. Highlights include Japanese cuisine at Café Sushi, coastal Italian fare at Marco’s Italian, choice cuts from the grill at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse and breezy Mediterranean fare with local flair at Mazaj Bab al Bahr. Lofty ceilings and indulgent afternoon teas await at the Lobby Lounge; ocean breezes accompany casual meals at Poolside; and Bridges Bar is your home from home for modern English pub fare and live sports.
Situated 15 minutes from Yas Island and the cultural highlights of Abu Dhabi Corniche, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr is a quick hop from Zayed International Airport and a 35-minute drive from Saadiyat Island. The Stay & Play package starts from AED 1,150 (US $313) per room per night.
