Planning a family holiday and wondering if Abu Dhabi is the right choice? The answer is a big ‘YES’! Suffice it to say that when you enjoy getaways at local destinations like Sir Bani Yas Island, there’s a new adventure in store every day and here’s more on what parents should know.
Family-Friendly Accommodation
Finding that ideal home away from home is easy on Sir Bani Yas Island. You can unwind in a spacious family pool villa at properties like Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort, surrounded by lush savannah views. Dine under the stars, share stories by a bonfire, and enjoy quality time together. While onsite restaurants will offer menus for little ones, a kids’ club will provide fun activities, so that parents can slip away for a well-earned spa session!
Exciting Wildlife Encounters
If your kids love animals, they will be in for a treat, especially if you stay at Sir Bani Yas Island-based family hotels in Abu Dhabi. You can embark on wildlife drives at the Arabian Wildlife Park to spot free-roaming giraffes, herds of Arabian Oryx, gazelles, and even cheetahs. You can also go on nature walks, ride Arabian horses and watch a falconry show with the chance for kids to pet these majestic birds too!
Fun Water Sports
Snorkelling will definitely be a hit with kids since they will get to see colourful marine life up close. For a more laid-back experience, go kayaking amidst serene mangroves at Sir Bani Yas Island, where you might even spot flamingos. Of course, if you are after an adrenaline rush, hop on a banana boat or enjoy a tube ride, which is guaranteed to have the whole family laughing and screaming in sheer delight!
Plenty of Diverse Activities
The fun doesn’t stop there, with plenty more things to do in Abu Dhabi for families. Explore Sir Bani Yas Island on cycling escapades with some resorts even providing ‘chariots’ for little ones. For something different, try land sailing on a wind-powered kart. If your kids are fans of superheroes like Hawkeye or Green Arrow, they will love trying archery, while parents can relive their dreams of being Robin Hood or Maid Marian!
