Abu Dhabi's cooler months are here, and Kai Beach on Saadiyat Island has lined up a full programme of reasons to spend the day by the Arabian Gulf. The beach club, known for its white sand and calm water, is running everything from weekday sundowners to family feasts, with prices that undercut a lot of the city's hotel beach scene.
The headline addition is the Sunset Supper, a daily evening slot from 6.30pm to 9pm. It's pitched at the post-work crowd: an a la carte menu of burgers, bao, wraps and pizzas with drinks, so you can graze through a casual dinner while the sun goes down. There's no set package price — you simply order what you like, which keeps it flexible for a mid-week catch-up.
Thursdays get their own deal. From noon to 4pm, a beachside barbecue serves sharing plates and grilled favourites, and the Dhs275 per person price includes beach access. That makes it a tidy combined lunch-and-lounger option ahead of the weekend.
Sundays are built around families. The Family Table runs midday to 4pm with generous sharing plates, seafood, sushi, grill dishes and desserts. Packages cost Dhs360 with soft beverages or Dhs460 with house beverages, while children aged 6 to 12 pay Dhs200 — and every package includes beach access.
If you'd rather just turn up and swim, day passes run all week. Weekday entry is Dhs175 for adults and Dhs75 for kids aged 6 to 12, with Dhs50 and Dhs25 respectively redeemable against food and drink. Weekends rise to Dhs250 for adults (Dhs100 back as credit) and Dhs100 for children. Anyone planning repeated visits can ask about memberships, which the club says come with their own rates and benefits.
Reservations for all of the above go through 050 283 5795 or info.kai@aldarleisure.com.
For travellers, this is a useful pointer to Saadiyat Island more broadly. It's Abu Dhabi's quieter, culture-heavy side — home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and wide natural beaches — and a good base if you want a beach club day without Dubai prices or crowds. Kai Beach's daytime passes make it easy to add a beach afternoon to a city break, and the weekend family packages are competitive compared with similar clubs along the Gulf coast.
Worth noting: the source piece is sponsored content for the venue, so treat the superlatives with a pinch of salt — but the prices, times and booking details are all concrete and easy to act on.
