Yas Marina

Once simply a place for billionaires to park their mega-yachts during the Formula One weekend, Yas Marina has now developed into a full-on leisure and dining destination in itself.

whEN FIRST BuIlT, there was little to see for visitors to Yas Marina, aside from great photo opportunities of the Yas Marina Circuit of the Yas Viceroy Hotel.

That has all changed now, as the facility has opened up to incorporate an eclectic range of dining destinations and leisure facilities. A casual stroll along the idyllic promenade overlooking the many luxury yachts moored in the marina will introduce you to the breadth of choice available for a pleasant meal, including the world famous Cipriani brand, Stars N’ Bars, Iris bar and lounge, Aquarium, Café D’Alsace, Rozanah and Diablito, offering everything from American to Middle Eastern cuisine.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg, as the marina management knew that a setting like this could be used for so much more, and one can now find a whole wealth of entertainment and leisure activities taking place there on every day of the week.

Tying in with the whole of Yas Island’s campaign to improve fitness levels in Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina boasts three world-class fitness centres, namely Vogue Fitness, Bounceback sports physio, and the NuYou spa, slimming and tanning centre. There are also Crossfit sessions for kids on Mondays and Saturdays, and free beginner’s Crossfit sessions for adults on Saturdays. Look out for the ladies nights on Wednesdays, and Thursday happy hours in most of the venues, in addition to the many dining promotions throughout the week.

And, there are even outdoor movie nights held on the promenade on the second Tuesday of every month, and kids films shown every Friday. This is all, of course, in addition to the many watersports and boat charter companies that operate out of the marina.

However, one of the most exciting recent developments would be the addition of Yas Marina as a Seawings destination. The seaplane service that plies its trade along the coast of the UAE, from Ras Al Khaimah to Dubai, now stops on Yas! Take in an aerial tour of Abu Dhabi, or hop on for a rapid transit to Dubai.

We’ve only scratched the surface here, and there is plenty more to explore.
