Poolside views
Take a dip in Yas Beach’s stunning outdoor swimming pool – the perfect way to cool down from the Abu Dhabi sun. Children can enjoy splashing in the shallow end and practicing lengths with their parents. In the evenings, couples can take a moment to watch the sun go down from the pool edge. There’s also a beach lounge area complete with a DJ booth, which comes to life on Fridays, when the pool can only be accessed by those aged over 21.
