Al Maya Island Resort Abu Dhabi

Al Maya Island Resort sits on Al Maya Island in Abu Dhabi. It is a short boat ride from the mainland, just steps away from the Al Maya Island Beach. The menu covers Mediterranean and international seafood.

The resort is a better choice than the beach clubs clustered around Yas Marina or Yas Waterworld for those who want a deliberate escape from the mainland’s sprawl. While mainland venues often feel like extensions of the surrounding shopping and theme park infrastructure, the island creates an isolation that the others cannot replicate. The room runs smart and elegant, but the draw is the shift in pace from the city. Choose this over the mainland options if you prefer house music and a sea view to the constant hum of a transit hub.
