Key Promises
Island Escape in 15 Minutes
Step onto the boat in Abu Dhabi and into a completely different world minutes later, where the skyline fades, the sea takes over, and your island escape begins long before you reach the shore.

Island of Gazelles
Share the island with over 2,000 free-roaming gazelles and a surprising cast of other wildlife, from migratory birds and shy foxes to colorful fish and, at times, dolphins just offshore, so every walk or swim feels like a private nature escape beside the city.
One Island, Many Moods
From laid-back beach days and DJ-charged pool scenes to intimate escapes and full-island celebrations, Al Maya shifts its rhythm to match the story you’re here to live.
