Saadiyat & Yas Island - Venue & Concept

Home

Saadiyat Island, located just off the coast of Abu Dhabi, is a cultural and leisure haven that blends natural beauty with world-class institutions. Known as the emirate’s cultural district, the island is home to architectural masterpieces like the Louvre Abu Dhabi, with future additions including the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum. Saadiyat also offers pristine white-sand beaches, luxury resorts, and protected coastal dunes where endangered hawksbill turtles nest. With its fusion of art, heritage, and sustainable development, Saadiyat Island stands as a symbol of Abu Dhabi’s vision—where culture meets coastline in serene and sophisticated harmony.

Saadiyat is located just 500 metres off the coast of Abu Dhabi. This 27 square kilometre island was planned and created around an environmentally-sensitive philosophy and low-density master plan. As a result, Saadiyat’s developments have been built around natural beauty, cultural experiences, architectural splendours and vast business potential.

The main districts in the island are Saadiyat Cultural District, Saadiyat Beach District and Saadiyat Marina District. The island can be reached in just a five-minute drive from downtown Abu Dhabi, 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport and an hour’s drive from Dubai.

Yas Island is an emerging entertainment destination within a 30 minute drive of the UAE capital, Yas Island is home to the state-of-the-art Yas Marina Circuit, host to the annual F1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Get to grips with Yas Marina Circuit through a series of track day packages, including ‘Driver Experiences’, ‘Passenger Experiences’, ‘Private Driving Tuition’ programmes and ‘Racing License Courses’. At the circuit’s centrepiece is Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi, a five star, iconic hotel, the only one in the world to straddle an F1 race track being breathtakingly built half on land and half over water.

Experiences, Tours & Landscapes

Louvre Museum Abu Dhabi

The museum is designed as a “seemingly floating dome structure”; its web-patterned dome allowing the sun to filter through. The overall effect is meant to represent “rays of sunlight passing through date palm fronds in an oasis”

Yas Marina Circuit

Located on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, the Yas Marina Circuit is the united Arab Emirates’ most exciting sporting and entertainment venue.
