Welcome to Surf Abu Dhabi

People travel to Surf Abu Dhabi from every corner of the world for the waves, but what they don't always realize before they walk past reception and our check-in crew is the rest of the experience. The way the Surf Club opens onto a deck that runs the width of the pool. The premium facilities and the upstairs lounge, which features some of the best views in the house. Or our world-class hospitality from the second people arrive.

It's that combination of comfort, quality and exclusivity that rivals any premium surf destination in the world, but only here that's paired with perfect waves running on demand, all year round.

“Came with a group of friends from Australia and couldn’t believe how easy everything was. Check-in, gear, guides – all taken care of. The staff were welcoming from the start, and Nalu was unreal after the session.”

— Liam Carter, Sydney

A quick lay of the land

You'll find us on Hudayriyat Island, fifteen minutes from Downtown Abu Dhabi and an easy run from across the country. Cross the bridge and follow the signs. We're closer than people expect, and a lot more accessible than most surf destinations worth the trip.

A day at the Surf Club

Settling in

Check-in happens an hour before your session at the Surf Club, where our team gets you sorted with boards, gear, and a walk-through of what's happening during your sessions. Lockers, changing rooms and showers are right off the entrance, and if you've got time before paddling out, the upstairs lounge is worth heading up to for the view alone.

Around the pool

Once you're checked in, the Surf Club is yours for the day. We’ve got loungers angled toward the basin, plenty of shade, grass for the kids, and room to spread out without feeling crowded. Surf Club guests have full access to the pool, lounge, and grounds for the day, so the time before and after your session is yours to spend however you feel like spending it.

Come spend the day

The Surf Club is a relaxed, open space where people hang out all day, surfers or not. Grab a Pool Pass and you've got the loungers, the shade, the grass, and front-row views. Come for the food, the swim, the people-watching, and a few hours where the most demanding thing on your plate is deciding between Nalu and Ilios.
