W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island
Our rating
TripadvisorBased on 6,874 reviews
Right on top of the Formula 1® racetrack
Louder than thunder when cars are bolting by, W Abu Dhabi has killer race track and marina views. Everything is as flashy as Formula 1® – from jewel-toned The Living Room to the SUN Deck’s shimmering pool and ice white day beds. W Lounge’s cocktails come with DJ beats and The Garage spills out into a six-eatery concept focused on global street food.
This revitalised W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island reflects the dynamic energy, passion and contemporary flair of the Grand Prix and updates traditional and locally inspired design elements with an uber-modern style. It’s been ergonomically designed to create a unique yet comfortable atmosphere. An impressive LED-embellished lattice-style canopy greets you by night and shades you from the sunshine by day, acting as a vital component of the hotel’s awe-inspiring architecture.
While the initial focus here is on its architecture, it’s the hotel’s location on a Formula 1® track that makes its guests return each year. A shuttle bus service takes you to numerous attractions including Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and Yas Beach – all just minutes from the hotel.
Futuristic design collides with slick luxury and unparalleled Yas Marina Circuit views.

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”
Jeremy FisherKuoni Travel Expert
The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.
Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
