Yas Island
Home of Formula 1
Yas Marina Circuit, which hosts the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix every November, has a unique design; the track runs through the island’s flagship hotel, the Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi, giving lucky VIPs enviable views on race weekends. What’s more, the marina is incorporated into the circuit, so the yachting crowd can not only make grand entrances but also view the race from their boats. Other F1 fans – of more modest means – still enjoy thrilling racing moments, with some 50,000 people attending each year. And racing is only part of the draw of the F1 weekend: the end of each day brings performances from A-listers at du Forum that have included Beyoncé, Aerosmith, Jay Z and Prince over the years.
There's more to Yas, however, as Yas Marina Circuit is a year-round venue where petrolheads can put their driving skills to the test with activities like karting, drag racing, drifting and supercar driving.
Leisure
In keeping with the theme, Ferrari World – the world’s largest indoor theme park – has enough attractions to keep motorsports enthusiasts entertained, including the world’s fastest rollercoaster. And if all that speed makes you break out into a sweat, cool off at neighbouring Yas Waterworld. This gargantuan water park features more than 40 rides and attractions.
