Peacefully remote yet readily accessible, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Abu Dhabi Yas Island attracts business travellers as well as those looking for a spot of winter sun or an escape, away from it all. It is a mere 10-minute drive from the international airport and a short distance to the UAE’s cultural capital, Abu Dhabi.
Located on Yas Island, one of Abu Dhabi’s largest natural islands, the hotel, along with its sister property the Park Inn Abu Dhabi Yas Island, hugs the edge of an 18-hole golf course and lies adjacent to a pristine sandy beach and the crystal clear waters of the Persian Gulf.
The island is home to a world-class Formula One track as well as the adrenaline-fuelled Yas Waterworld and Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. Numerous renowned restaurants, spas and the Yas Links golf course confirm the island’s status as a prime destination for leisure and business travellers.
Making life easy

This includes takeaway tea and coffee, along with fresh fruits and energy bars.
Making life easier for guests is the hotel’s key aim. The ‘one touch service’ comprehensively takes care of guests’ needs – whether that is room service, a question for the concierge or a special request – at the touch of a button.
