Abu Dhabi's new beach club and lifestyle destination Cove Beach is preparing to open its doors on Reem Island on Friday, November 27.

Located at Makers District across Saadiyat Island, Cove Beach Abu Dhabi will have capacity for 1,000 guests by the beach and pools, which will have sun loungers, daybeds and cabanas.

It will also feature a swimmable beach, with a sea pool set within the ocean. Like its Dubai beach club, located at Caesars Bluewaters Dubai, guests can expect regular themed parties at Cove, including new events to reflect the Abu Dhabi community. There will also be live performances from musicians and a Saturday brunch.

A 100-seat al fresco dining restaurant Two.0 located at Cove will serve up poolside bites throughout the day.
