With pristine white sands stretching out along a generous shore, Kai Beach, Saadiyat Island's public beach, maintains its reputation as one of the most desirable beach locations in the UAE

Set on a majestic stretch of white sand, sun-seekers holidaying at any of Yas Island’s hotels and hotel apartments can enjoy complimentary access to the island’s crystal clear waters and natural mangrove surrounds.

Built along the shores of the picturesque Arabian Gulf, Saadiyat Beach Club is the perfect place to get away with family and friends and just relax for the day.

The stunning Al Bateen Beach overlooks Hudayriat Island and its bridge to the west of Abu Dhabi, and enjoys clear, tranquil water ideal for fishing, swimming and waterfront picnics.

The turquoise sea, view of Lulu Island, swaying palm trees and gardens make this spotlessly maintained Blue Flag public beach an unexpected gem in the heart of the UAE capital. 

For barefoot luxury, head to this boutique private island resort − just a 12-minute boat ride from Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat Island and an hour from downtown Abu Dhabi.
