Abu Dhabi in summer? Yeah, it’s hot. But it’s also not a bad time to grab a hotel deal and chill out somewhere with a pool and AC. If you’re staying in the UAE or visiting with the kids, you’ve actually got a bunch of Top summer resorts in Abu Dhabi that won’t drain your wallet.
These picks bring fun, relaxation and smart deals into the mix.
Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi
This place is right on the water. You can walk to Marina Mall in under five minutes. The pool’s got that “resort vibe” going on—big, loud, and fun. Kids running around, music in the background. It’s not the quietest, but definitely lively.
Summer deal: The “Endless Summer” offer is on until August 31. You have to stay at least two nights, but you get up to 20% off if you book early. Two kids under 12 stay and eat free when they’re with adults. Plus, there’s a kids’ club and some sports stuff like paddleboard rentals and games by the beach.
The Corniche is nearby too. You can take a walk there in the evening. Lots of people out, small cafés open late, and if you’re into it, dhow cruises are around. In short, one of the best summer holidays destinations in Abu Dhabi.
Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island
If theme parks are part of your list of things to do in the UAE but you still wish to sleep somewhere peaceful, this is a good bet. You’re close to Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World, and Ferrari World, but the hotel itself doesn’t feel hectic.
Summer 2025 deal: Book early and you can get up to 30% off. Each person in the room gets a free park ticket per night, which adds up if you’re staying a few days. They also give you a shuttle that takes you to and from the parks.
In the evenings, Yas Bay Waterfront is a good spot to wind down. It’s got restaurants, outdoor tables, music sometimes, and a nice breeze off the water. Not bad after a day of rollercoasters.
Budget-Friendly Yas Island Picks: Crowne Plaza, Radisson Blu, Rotana
These three sit next to each other on Yas Island, near the golf course. They’re not ultra-fancy, but clean and good for what they cost. Plus, they often have bundle deals. Great options when you plan summer holidays for your family.
This summer’s offer: From June 1 to Sept 30, the “Kids Go Free” deal is back. Book two nights or more and kids under 12 stay free, eat free, and also get free entry to Yas theme parks like SeaWorld and Ferrari World. There’s also a free shuttle to the beach and the parks, which makes it easy to get around.
Rooms are decent. Most stays include breakfast. It’s the kind of place you book if you’re trying to save but still want to do fun stuff.
Bottom line? You don’t have to leave the country—or blow your budget—to have a proper summer break. There are so many things to do in Abu Dhabi. And with these deals, it’s easier than ever to kick back, stay cool, and make a few memories.
