Yacht Hospitality
Abu Dhabi's had the season finale since 2009, the kind of race where the championship has gone down to the final laps. Twilight start. The floodlights come up over the marina as the sun drops, 21 turns and 5.5km of it. Just budget time for the crawl out afterwards.
Yacht Hospitality
A yacht berth on the marina gives senior guests a genuinely different setting, away from the crowds and well beyond a standard weekend away.
Yacht Hospitality
Most guests watch from the grandstands. Your group watches from the deck of a private yacht moored directly on Yas Marina, with an Atlantis hotel stay to follow.
Etihad Park Post-Race Concert (Optional)
An optional ticket to the post-race concert at Etihad Park, on after the chequered flag at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Bedroom Suite
Your suite sits inside Atlantis The Palm, five stars on Palm Jumeirah. Aquaventure World and the aquarium are part of the deal. So are the restaurants and the pools. A guest-room valet handles the small things. Stay a while and the lounge opens up too. It's a vast place.
Deluxe Room
The Deluxe Room is where you'll actually sleep. The rest of the time you're out in it: Aquaventure World, the aquarium, a five-star resort's worth of restaurants on Palm Jumeirah. It gets properly busy at peak times. Which is, more or less, what the families come for.
Bedroom Suite
The Sky Terrace Suite puts you inside Atlantis The Royal, the oceanfront resort that opened on Palm Jumeirah in 2024 and made the World's 50 Best Hotels list. Seventeen restaurants under the one roof. Of them, Carbone and Ling Ling are the two people talk about.
Sky Pool Villa
Sky Pool Villa at Atlantis The Royal offers a private infinity pool, expansive terrace, and sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with light, while a separate living area and master suite add comfort and style.
Palmscape/Seascape Room
The Palmscape and Seascape Rooms at Atlantis The Royal offer modern comfort with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony overlooking Palm Island or the Arabian Sea. Spacious bathrooms, in-room tech, and thoughtful amenities create a relaxing, functional retreat.

What to expect
Your Abu Dhabi Grand Prix experience starts here
F1's first day-night race, since 2009
Five o'clock local start, twilight into night across the 55 laps. Marina, hotel arch and harbour yachts lit through the closing stints.
The season-finale drama
Vettel won his first title here in 2010; Hamilton and Verstappen settled 2021 on the last lap. Abu Dhabi has hosted more season finales than any other current circuit.
The W hotel arch over the track
F1 cars run under the W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island hotel between Turns 13 and 14, the only race on the calendar with a built-in hotel arch in its layout.
Atlantis The Palm or The Royal as your Dubai base
Two Atlantis resorts on Palm Jumeirah, and you choose. The Palm is the original five-star landmark, with the Aquaventure waterpark and the Lost Chambers aquarium on site. The Royal, opened by Beyoncé in 2023, runs seventeen restaurants including Carbone and Ling Ling and sits on the World's 50 Best Hotels list.
Post-race concert at Etihad Park
The season closes with a headline concert at Etihad Park, a short walk from the circuit. Last year's title went to the wire here; the 2026 finale runs at Yas Marina on 6 December. The lineup is confirmed closer to the date.

Our best tips
Weather
Abu Dhabi averages 26°C in December, warm without the summer scorching. Evenings cool slightly, so pack a light layer. Perfect Grand Prix timing.
Dress code
Modest dress code: loose-fitting clothes covering shoulders, arms, and legs. Pack swimwear for Atlantis pools, beach clubs, and waterparks. If visiting Jumeirah Mosque or Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, bring a respectful, covering option.

Getting around
Getting around Abu Dhabi from Dubai
You're based in Dubai, not Abu Dhabi
The included flights land in Dubai with hotels on the Palm, so the Yas Marina circuit is a drive east on race day.
Careem is the app, and Yas is self-contained
Use Careem over Uber across Dubai; out at the circuit, Yas Island packs the hotels, the marina and the mall in one place.
DIFC for a free Dubai evening
The Gate Avenue district draws the after-work crowd and the serious restaurants, away from the Downtown mall crush.
Let the island drain after the night race
The whole crowd leaves Yas at once, so we hold you back until the roads clear rather than join the crush.

Amazing Abu Dhabi GP experience
I booked the Abu Dhabi GP package including flights, transfers, hotel and tickets. Absolutely incredible experience, the staff were on hand and answered all of my queries, and the event was very well organised. I could not fault it at all! I am excited to book my next trip with Imperial.

Overall a very good event Abu Dhabi…
Overall a very good event Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Coaches left too early after the race day was the only issue apart from that very good event and good organisation from all the events staff .

Another Fabulous Abu Dhabi GP
Fabulous event. Pick ups and drop offs were well organised in a luxury coach. Seats at GP were excellent. We had booked one twin room but this wasn’t known by the hotel (the 3rd time this has happened, with the other times being at Roland Garros when we had to purchase another room.) Luckily the hotel found a twin room as we were early checking in. The access to the club lounge was great and the girls were always around for queries. Excellent event - please add an another extra night! Already booked for next year!

The experience was fantastic
The experience was fantastic, of course a great event (Abu Dhabi F1) is hard to top as an all round event so really enjoyed that along with staying in Dubai at Atlantis.Some challenges with the initial booking and name changes but we got there.As a note, which i'm sure not the only one, is the bus leaving the car park at the F1, i get this is a venue issue and sure what your asked to do. As a suggestion for future, maybe you could get people to walk over to other side of the road (By Warner brothers) and meet at one of your team members. Then when you have 20-30 call a bus in from a more sensible location waiting 10-15 mins away, so save the 2 1/2 hour wait, not ideal and does impact the fun on the nights but accept not imperials faultThank you

Had a fantastic time in Italy and all…
Had a fantastic time in Italy and all though I couldn’t make it to the Grand Prix due to my lack of walking and using a walking stick I must say a Massive thank you to CHLOE who tried everything in her power to get me there She sorted out a wheelchair & arranged for my seat to be not too far from all amenities but unfortunately it was still too much for me She was totally amazing and thank you ANDY

Great company, super well planned ..Amazing
We've just returned from an amazing F1 experience in Abu Dhabi. Great company, they really nailed the finer details, special appreciation to Marcus Lenton, our AM, he's a total joy to chat with, full of drive (F1 theme) and passion (simply one of the best sales guys I've encountered), and Sian and her crew looked after us during the trip.. hoping to rebook soon.

Fantastic experience, very well organised Thank You
Dear MRB03 Dec 2023
5 ⭐️Superb hotel and breakfast!
Superb hotel and incredible breakfast! The hotel staff were so friendly and accommodating. The seating at the track was perfect- great view of a few twists & straights. The Imperial staff were friendly and helpful. BE WARNED FERRARI WORLD IS FOR YOUNG AND SMALLER PEOPLE. It is not a museum as the few cars are models, not even the real thing. Height restrictions upwards!! Room service not good-drowning in mayonnaise! Pretty poor for 5 ⭐️ The flight’s decent. All round excellent weekend.

Great hotel, amazing facilities food amazing also.

Exceptional!
We booked the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in Nov-22 as a surprise 60th birthday present for my father. I was more than a little reticent due to previous Trust Pilot reviews, but in all honesty the entire experience was exceptional. A very nice young lady named Gee took care of all the booking details in advance and the Imperial Team in-location were incredible - transfers ran seamlessly, the hotel was amazing and Yas Marina is a real sight to behold. I would definitely book with ICE again and highly recommend them. Thanks Gee - you were great!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix post-race concert takes place at Etihad Park, only a 10 minute walk away from Yas Marina Circuit. Alternatively, you can take a free shuttle ride from Yas Hall which is next to the Circuit.
Concert entry is an optional add-on across all packages. On race day, collect your wristband from the Oasis kiosks inside the circuit before heading to Etihad Park.
The journey takes roughly an hour and half on your coach.
You're staying at Atlantis, so usually yes. A stay at Atlantis The Palm or The Royal normally comes with complimentary access to Aquaventure waterpark and the Lost Chambers aquarium, ideal for a day off the track. We'll confirm exactly what your room includes when you book.
Grandstand puts you in the seats for qualifying and race day. The yacht sits trackside with a different vantage and a slower pace. We'll talk you through which suits your party.
Abu Dhabi closes the F1 season, so the best rooms at Atlantis go early. We'd suggest locking it in several months out, especially for Sky Pool Villas or larger suites.
Four nights at Atlantis The Palm or The Royal in Dubai, your choice of Grandstand or yacht for the race, coach transfers to Yas Marina, and optional post-race concert entry.
You choose between Atlantis The Palm and Atlantis The Royal. The Palm runs from a Deluxe Room up to a Bedroom Suite; The Royal goes from a Palmscape or Seascape Room through a Bedroom Suite to a Sky Pool Villa. We'll talk you through the differences and match a room to your party.
