Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi - Abu Dhabi

Overview

Other facilities

The facilities at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi are nothing short of spectacular, with four dazzling pools and a private beach creating the ultimate setting for rest and relaxation. Set against a backdrop of swaying palms and sleek architecture, the pool complex is a standout feature – especially the expansive main pool, where crystal-clear waters appear to flow directly into the sea beyond. Surrounding the pools, you’ll find plenty of loungers, canopied daybeds and shaded spots, all perfectly positioned to soak up views of the Arabian Gulf. Swim-up bars mean you won’t have to leave the water for a refreshing drink, and there’s a dedicated adult-only pool for those seeking peace and quiet. Just beyond the pool deck lies the private beach – a stretch of golden sand dotted with parasols and sun loungers, protected by a wave-breaker to ensure calm, swimmable waters. Whether you’re reclining with a book or dipping your toes in the sea, it’s an effortlessly scenic spot to while away the day.

When you’re ready to move from relaxation to rejuvenation, head to the Naturelife Spa – a sanctuary of tranquillity rooted in traditional Turkish wellness. From the moment you walk through its softly lit, marble-lined halls, the atmosphere invites you to unwind with a personalised massage in a serene treatment suite, or step into the beautifully tiled hammam for a cleansing ritual. There’s also a sauna and steam room to soothe tired muscles, plus dedicated couples’ spaces for a romantic retreat. If physical activity is more your pace, the sports club is equipped with cutting-edge machines, resistance training zones and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the water. You can join a wide mix of classes, including energising HIIT and TRX sessions, or slower-paced yoga and Pilates, while tennis fans can take to the hotel’s outdoor court for a game.

Families are brilliantly catered for, thanks to the colourful, fully supervised Rixy Kids Club. Designed for children aged four to twelve, this lively space blends creativity and play, with themed activities, workshops and daily entertainment. From arts and crafts to treasure hunts, it’s a place where kids can make friends and memories in equal measure. Meanwhile, you’re free to indulge in the quieter sides of the resort, knowing they're well taken care of. As evening falls, the hotel comes alive with vibrant live entertainment – think DJ sets, acrobatic shows, live music and theatrical performances, set against the backdrop of the sea or the glittering city skyline.

Dining information

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to dining here, with ten distinctive restaurants and bars delivering a dynamic mix of global flavours and elegant design. At the heart of it all is Turquoise, the signature all-day dining restaurant where a grand open-buffet concept brings international cuisine to life. The bright, contemporary space is enhanced by high ceilings and warm lighting, creating an inviting setting for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can also start your morning at Terra Mare, the resort’s relaxed all-day dining restaurant. Inside, high ceilings, glossy tiled floors and large windows create a bright, airy feel. The generous buffet spread is just as inviting, offering everything from made-to-order eggs and pancakes to fresh fruit, cheeses and local specialties.

If you're after a more casual option for lunch or dinner, People’s Restaurant is ideal. This lively, open-plan space has a shaded outdoor terrace and serves up international favourites for lunch, and Turkish fare for dinner. If you’re after a sweet treat, The Bakery Club is a light-filled cafe that’s perfect for afternoon tea, with stylish interiors, sea views and a tempting display of pastries, cakes and barista coffee. Come evening, the culinary offering gets even more exciting. Vero Italiano captures the soul of Italy with its Amalfi-inspired decor, soft mood lighting and traditional favourites, like creamy burrata, slow-cooked ragu and hand-stretched pizza.

Two flavourful restaurants are also opening soon. The Flame Steakhouse brings barbeque flavours to a sleek dining room with theatrical open kitchens. For a show-stopping night out, ride the lift to the 37th floor and discover Prive Lounge, a fine-dining restaurant and cocktail bar with panoramic city and sea views. Here, dramatic lighting, curated art pieces and luxe furnishings set the stage for a culinary fusion – think rich, umami-packed dishes, elegant plating and mixology that borders on performance art. You'll also find the Hashi Restaurant on the 38th floor. Open in the evenings, this eatery brings bold Asian plates to the table.

When it's time to unwind, you’ve got plenty of options. Isla Beach Bar delivers barefoot luxury right by the water, with wholesome light bites and bowls in the afternoons. Come sundown, this spot serves fresh seafood under the stars. For something more cosmopolitan, Anti-Dote mixes bold interior design with a slick cocktail menu that plays with flavour and form – ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif or a late-night adventure. Infinity Lounge is open around the clock, offering a curated selection of drinks and light bites in a comfortable, stylish space. You can grab cool scoops of ice cream, fresh fruit and snacks from the poolside kiosks, too.
