Yas Island: Attractions, Water and Live Events

Yas Island combines leisure attractions, live events, shopping and places to go for a walk. For individual experiences and services, as well as event dates, check the latest information for your travel dates. In the wider Abu Dhabi destination, Al Ain Oasis offers a historical highlight: the two central falaj systems are called Al Aini and Dawood; the excavated channels are described as 3,000 years old. This historical focus sets it apart from the leisure parks, water sports and live events on Yas Island.

Theme Parks and Activities

Ferrari World Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, is the world’s first and only Ferrari theme park; it is also home to the world’s fastest roller coaster. Yas Waterworld offers gentle rafting on a river and a large wave pool. These are two different kinds of water experience: a gentle ride on the river and a full-size pool. CLYMB™ Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, offers indoor skydiving and climbing. At Yas Marina Circuit, you can enjoy Formula 1 driving experiences. Check the latest operating details for CLYMB; you should also confirm the availability of driving experiences at the circuit before your trip.

Live Events, Water and Nightlife

Etihad Arena on Yas Island hosts live events. If an event is the reason for your trip, plan around its date; individual events may change. Yas Bay Waterfront offers nightlife. Yas Bay also has water sports, educational adventure boat trips suited to groups, and water taxi services. The adventure boat trips are educational and suitable for groups, setting them apart from water sports and water taxi services. Check the latest availability of the activities and services you plan to enjoy.

Shopping and Walks

Yas Mall on Yas Island offers shopping for designer brands; individual brands and stores may change. Yas Marina has a promenade for walks. These offer two distinct options: a shopping visit focused on designer brands and a walk along the marina. Consider whether shopping or spending time on foot along the promenade is more important for your stay.

Admission and Finding a Hotel

Admission to Yas Island is free; admission fees apply to individual attractions, including theme parks, concerts and experiences. Access to the island and entry to a specific attraction are therefore separate planning considerations. As admission rules may change, check the terms for the specific offering before your visit. If you’re looking for a hotel, you can decide what to focus on during your trip: a theme park, an event date or a range of activities. For an event, the date matters; for individual experiences and services, check the latest availability.
