With the iconic Yas Viceroy hotel and the Yas Marina Circuit as it’s back-drop, Yas Marina Abu Dhabi is without a doubt one of the most stunning marinas in the world, with a vibrant offering of dining, fitness, and leisure facilities. It’s bustling waterside promenade, seven licensed restaurants, and year-long calendar of events make it one of the best family destinations in the Capital and a hub of dining and nightlife entertainment after dark. From premier fitness facilities and water sports, to boat charters, a children’s playground, and a musical water fountain, there really is something for everyone.
So, (as if you needed us to give you an excuse anyway!) here’s three reasons why you need to visit Yas Marina this month…
1. Decked Out Weekends
Every weekend from 12pm until 7pm, Yas Marina’s promenade transforms into a hub of entertainment with a street-festival style atmosphere. There’s crowd- pleasing roaming entertainment, street artists, live music, games stalls, market stalls, and a tasty selection of food stations. For the kids (and big kids too!), there’s giant inflatables, children’s performers, and even an open air cinema screening children’s movie favourites.
With an electric atmosphere and a full schedule of activities planned every single weekend, Decked Out at Yas Marina is the perfect way to spend your weekend with friends and family.
2. St Patrick's Day
On March 16 and 17, Yas Marina promises a weekend full of spirited St Patrick’s Day celebrations. The special occasion will feature a line up of gold coin treasure hunting, clover hand painting, and an Irish dancing show, plus an interactive photo booth, complete with rainbow backdrop, leprechaun hats, and Irish beards will make for the perfect ‘instagramable’ day. If you’re looking for something a bit more chilled out, then from 6.30pm on Friday evening, you can cosy on down for a movie night and watch the 2012 award winning film ‘Brave’ on the marina’s expansive grass area.
Miss out and you will be green with envy!
3. Mother's Day
If you’re looking for a unique way to spoil your Mum this Mother’s Day, then look no further than Yas Marina for the perfect day out. On March 23 and 24, Mum can take a well-deserved break and be pampered with a manicure, whilst children decorate personalised post cards to share their Mother’s Day messages. Colourful stalls selling fresh flowers will make for the perfect Mother’s Day gift, and you’ll be able to capture your memories from the day at the dedicated family portrait photo booth. On Friday evening, the outdoor cinema returns with a screening of the film ‘Mars Needs Moms’ from 6.30pm.
As the excitement of ‘Decked Out Weekend’ continues, why not tie-in your Mother’s Day weekend with a culinary tour along the promenade, and soak up the electric atmosphere with live music and roaming entertainment?
