Nurai Island Beach

Nurai Island is located in the Arabian Gulf's turquoise seas, east of the Abu Dhabi coastline. This beautiful, isolated island is conveniently accessible from all main transport ports in the UAE and is only a 15-minute boat trip from the coasts of Abu Dhabi and a 60-minute journey from Downtown Dubai.

The beach here is a beautiful long curve of white sand lapped by crystal clear, light turquoise waters, similar to those found in the Maldives' Indian Ocean beach hot spots. Water sports such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling equipment rental are offered for the more active, but most people come to relax VIP-style with full facilities at their fingertips. Day passes to this slice of beach paradise are pricey, but a portion of the cost may be used to pay for meals at the resort restaurants, treatments at the oceanfront spa, or other extra activities like water sports. The day pass includes roundtrip boat rides from the resort's port on Saadiyat Island, as well as an entrance to the resort's pool and beach.
