Nation Riviera Beach Club
The Nation Riviera Beach Club (attached to The St. Regis Abu Dhabi) is directly on the Corniche and is perhaps one of Abu Dhabi's most well-known beach clubs. Locals love it for its year-round beach club memberships, but it also has day access for casual tourists.
The beachfront here is 200 meters long, with a restaurant and a large pool area with Jacuzzis and lots of sunbathing space nestled within immaculately kept gardens just behind the shore. There is a separate children's swimming pool, as well as both outdoor and indoor play areas, for families with little children who tire of splashing around in the sea. The Treasure Island children's club, with its pirate-ship-shaped play area, in particular, offers a variety of activities. Passes to the beach club also give access to the hotel's fully equipped gym on the third level, as well as the adjacent terrace pool.
Address: Abu Dhabi Corniche, Downtown, Abu Dhabi Island.
