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 2023 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.
Standard Double or Twin
A Fairmont room with a private balcony, made up as either a double or a twin. Balconies on the west side of the building look across the water to the Dubai Marina skyline. The others face the Palm residences. Breakfast is included, and the private beach, the outdoor pools and the Falcon Kids Club all come with the stay.
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Four nights in Dubai for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with flights, transfers and your choice of hotel and race viewing.

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.
Your Dubai base on Palm Jumeirah

Atlantis The Royal, on the World's 50 Best Hotels list, runs seventeen restaurants including Carbone and Ling Ling. Fairmont The Palm sits on the trunk of the Palm with a private beach, outdoor pools and west-facing balconies over the Marina skyline.
Post-race concert at Etihad Park
The 2026 finale runs at Yas Marina on 6 December, with concert details confirmed separately. The 2027 Grand Prix is confirmed for 10 to 12 December and will be a Sprint weekend.

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 the hotel 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

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 a half on your coach.
That depends on your hotel. Guests staying at Atlantis The Palm or Atlantis The Royal normally get access to Aquaventure waterpark and the Lost Chambers aquarium as part of the stay. Fairmont The Palm does not include either, though it has a private beach and outdoor pools of its own, and we can arrange Aquaventure tickets if you want a day there. 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 rooms across all three hotels go early. We'd suggest locking it in several months out, especially for suites and the Sky Pool Villas at The Royal.
Return flights from London, four nights in Dubai at Atlantis The Palm, Atlantis The Royal or Fairmont The Palm, 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, Atlantis The Royal and Fairmont The Palm. 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; Fairmont is a double or twin with a private balcony. We'll talk you through the differences and match a room to your party.
