Saadiyat Beach Club - Luxury Beach Club in Abu Dhabi

Best Destination Wedding Venue We recently hosted a wedding at Saadiyat Beach Club, and the experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. The level of professionalism, dedication, and care demonstrated by the entire team exceeded all expectations. What stood out most was the team’s attention to detail and their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure the event was flawless. Every request; big or small was handled with efficiency and genuine care. Even last-minute changes were accommodated seamlessly, something that is rare in this industry. The setup support, coordination, and communication were outstanding throughout the planning and execution. The staff worked tirelessly, even late into the night, to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their positivity, patience, and commitment created a warm and stress-free environment for us and for the couple. The culinary team also delivered exceptional food, both in quality and presentation, truly among the best I’ve experienced, even compared to top luxury hotels. Overall, the service, professionalism, and hospitality at Saadiyat Beach Club set a benchmark that many venues could learn from. We are deeply grateful for the incredible support and highly recommend this venue for any special event or wedding. It was a beautiful experience from beginning to end.

Lovely vibe and lively even on weekdays! I recommend paying a bit extra and upgrading to the cabanas next to the pool if you want extra space and privacy. Service was fast and the staff who was managing the pool, Mr. Mahmoud was very kind and attentive. It was my friends birthday and he went out of his way to make it special for her :)

Amazing place and facilities. High end and attentive staff. Would definitely recommend. My only feedback to the management would be the music. We came on a Tuesday afternoon and there was blaring dance music the whole afternoon and it was super loud meaning we couldn’t relax. There were lots of families and it didn’t really suit the vibe - recommend turning it down and saving that for the weekends!

No crabs, not much seaweed, big and cool waves? I am in HEAVEN! There are only fish, no creepy crawlies can get you and the waves are so good! I would definitely recommend going in September/October. The sea is very calm during the day, but when it hits 4 o’clock, it goes wild! But I love it! The waves are so fun! The service is okay, pretty good even. People are civilized and don’t shout as much as on the JBR beach for example. Would visit again. 👍

Wonderful Experience at Saadiyat Beach Club We visited Saadiyat Beach Club and had such a great experience! The staff at the reception were extremely friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Gireesh from security — he was so polite and explained everything clearly. The whole place has such an amazing vibe calm, elegant, and family-friendly. We will definitely be visiting again.

This is a wonderful place to truly relax and unwind. The beach is absolutely beautiful, with soft sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters that create a perfect setting for a peaceful escape. The pool area is spacious and well maintained, offering plenty of spots to enjoy the sun or simply cool off with a refreshing swim. The gym is well equipped, providing everything needed for a good workout, while the spa offers a great environment with treatments designed to leave you feeling rejuvenated. Altogether, it’s a destination that combines comfort, leisure, and natural beauty, making it an ideal spot for a memorable stay.

Not up to the standards of other facilities in Abu Dhabi. 599 AED entrance includes only 1 towel pp and a small bottle of water… No one guides you to a place or assists you in finding a spot. We asked if they have space at the entrance they said sure, but only available sun beds were fairest from the pool. Highly recommend to go to one of the plenty other beach clubs / resorts in the area. Much better service and price-performance ratio.

I had a fourteen hours layover in Abu Dhabi recently on a Sunday, landing at the airport at noon. I decided to leave the airport's transfer section, to immigrate into UAE, and then to use Uber to drive me to this beach club. The drive was quick, smooth and affordable (100 AED). Check-in at was very friendly and efficient as well. Walk-ins are welcome, ie. I did not pre-book anything and there was no issue entering the premises. I received access to a locker in the changing area where I was able to change into my beach outfit which I had put in my carry-on. My backpack was too large, so the security at the reception took good care of it over all those hours. When entering the pool area, you can redeem a voucher for a complimentary water bottle and a towel. Around 2pm there were plenty of sunbeds available, also those in the shades. In my opinion, most people present at the beach club were expats, some mothers with their toddlers, occasionally accompanied by their husbands. Also some single people of both sexes in their 20s and 30s. Drinks arrived quickly, and food was good (I had a greek salad and two beers). When staying at the sunbed at the pool, I got very well taken care of Chris from the Philippines and his team. He's very sociable, small talkish (like he knows you forever) and provides excellent, attentive service. Towards sunset, the venue saw some more influx of people. That's the time when you should head to the nearby private beach (also equipped with a bar) to enjoy the sunset. I did swim in the sea in the afternoon, as well, and it was flawless and safe, and lifeguard was on duty all the time. After sunset, I changed into workout clothes and did an indoor rowing session on the Technogym rower. The gym had one or two other users, and the equipment was brand new, flawless and well maintained. In the end, I used the steambath, but couldn't finish my sauna session because I only then learned that section closes off at 8pm. The entry cost of 350 AED (including a 100 AED consumation voucher, so you end up paying 250 AED entry as a guy on a Sunday) definitely is on the higher end, but the club is worth every cent IMHO if you look for some relaxing hours in a well-served, high quality environment during a layover. In the evening, you could also eat dinner at the restaurant, but I decided to head to Yas Mall and W Lounge instead before catching my flight home.
