A Slice of the Greek Islands in Abu Dhabi
The venue is designed with a focus on natural beauty and laid-back sophistication. Warm neutrals, natural wood, and stone textures dominate the decor, creating a peaceful, sun-drenched vibe. Inside, the elegant Meraki Dining & Terraceprovides a chic dining experience, while outdoors, the Iris Cabana and Oasis Loungers offer a perfect spot to soak up the sun poolside. The Apollo Bar, right by the pool, is ideal for sipping cocktails as you take in the stunning views of the man-made waves at Surf Abu Dhabi.
