Beach, pools and protected coastline
Saadiyat Beach Club is on Saadiyat Island, at Exit 14, beside a long stretch of Blue Flag-certified beach. The shore is part of a protected habitat where Hawksbill turtles nest. Dolphins and turtles may be seen in the water, though wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
The club combines beach access with pools, cabanas and places to lounge. Its infinity pool is chilled, and private cabanas sit around the water. Beach showers let you rinse off sand before moving indoors or settling in for a meal.
Facilities for a full day
The club has a gym, sauna, ice plunge, jacuzzi, locker rooms and showers. Gym access has a practical condition: sports shoes are required. Check the terms attached to your pass before you arrive, since access to facilities such as lockers may differ by pass type.
Loungers and cabanas are available by the pool and beach. Booking ahead can help secure the spot you want. Weekdays tend to be quieter than weekends, and music at the pool bar can be loud.
Dining at the club
Safina focuses on Mediterranean food in a relaxed, polished setting. Seafood linguine comes with shrimp, mussels, baby squid and clams in tomato sauce; paella is another option. Other dining choices include a Wagyu beef burger, tandoor-marinated chicken and seasonal seafood.
The club has also had delivery and pick-up options for a menu that includes burgers, paninis, wraps and sandwiches. Check current arrangements directly before planning to eat off-site.
