The beach on Hudayriyat Island is open until 30 September. 


The UAE capital has just made summer evenings a whole lot cooler. While the capital has no shortage of ways to beat the heat, from indoor attractions to luxe lounges, its latest offering is one of the most exciting yet. Say hello to Marsana East Beach, the first-ever night swimming destination in Abu Dhabi, where warm waters and cool breezes welcome you long after sunset.

Located on the ever-evolving Hudayriyat Island, Marsana East Beach has been designed with evening adventures in mind. This serene spot comes alive after dark with twinkling beach lights, ambient music, and waves lapping gently at your feet. Whether you’re taking a solo dip or rounding up the kids for an after-dinner adventure, this is the beach to be at.

Open until 10pm on weekdays and midnight on weekends, Marsana East Beach redefines summer evenings in the capital. Lounge under the stars, take a leisurely swim without the scorch of the midday sun, and let the laid-back atmosphere do the rest. The beach is well-equipped with sunbeds, shaded areas, and a variety of food and beverage options, so you don’t have to lift a finger, let alone leave your lounger.

For those planning a visit, tickets are priced at AED 50 per adult and AED 25 per child (ages six to 11 years) on weekdays, and AED 100 per adult and AED 50 per child on weekends.

Marsana East Beach is open nightly until 30 September, giving you all summer to soak in the sand, sea, and starlight. And best of all? You no longer need to head to Dubai for a night swim.

So, grab your swimwear, gather your crew, and head over to Hudayriyat Island for a new summer experience with night swimming in Abu Dhabi.
