The Galleria Al Maryah Island is the finest luxury shopping mall in Abu Dhabi — a beautifully designed waterfront mall with over 400 shops including all the major luxury brands (Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Hermès, Cartier), a 20-screen cinema, an ice rink and over 100 restaurants and cafes. The mall is connected to the Four Seasons and Rosewood hotels by a covered walkway and is the most pleasant shopping experience in Abu Dhabi.
The Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island is one of the finest city hotels in the UAE — a stunning 34-storey tower with 200 rooms and suites, a rooftop pool with extraordinary views of the Abu Dhabi skyline, six restaurants and bars and a world-class spa. The hotel is directly connected to the Galleria mall and is the most convenient luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi for shopping and dining.
Al Maryah Island has the finest waterfront dining scene in Abu Dhabi — the Zuma restaurant (Japanese robata), the Coya Abu Dhabi (Peruvian), the Nusr-Et Steakhouse (Salt Bae), the Butcher & Still (American steakhouse) and the Cipriani are all exceptional. The waterfront promenade is the most atmospheric dining destination in Abu Dhabi, particularly in the evening when the skyline is illuminated.
The Rosewood Abu Dhabi is the most stylish hotel on Al Maryah Island — a sleek, contemporary tower with 189 rooms and suites, a beautiful pool deck, the Sense spa and several excellent restaurants including the Aqua restaurant (with views of the Abu Dhabi skyline). The hotel is directly connected to the Galleria mall and is a short walk from the Four Seasons.
Al Maryah Island is the home of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) — one of the leading international financial centres in the world, with a business-friendly regulatory environment and a growing community of global financial institutions, fintech companies and professional services firms. The ADGM Square is the architectural centrepiece of the island.
The Al Maryah Island promenade is one of the most pleasant waterfront walks in Abu Dhabi — a beautifully landscaped walkway around the perimeter of the island with views of the Abu Dhabi skyline, the Corniche and the sea. The promenade is lined with cafes, restaurants and public art installations. The evening walk when the city is illuminated is particularly atmospheric.
Al Maryah Island has a small marina with water taxi connections to other parts of Abu Dhabi — a pleasant and scenic way to travel between the island and the Corniche. The water taxis are a popular way to see the Abu Dhabi skyline from the water. Dhow cruises and private boat charters are also available from the marina.
Al Maryah Island is 10 minutes from the Corniche and 15 minutes from Saadiyat Island. The Four Seasons and Rosewood are the best hotels. The Galleria mall is open daily (10am–10pm, Fridays 2pm–midnight). The island is best explored on foot — the promenade walk takes approximately 45 minutes. November to March is the best time to visit.
