Belevari Island

Abu Dhabi’s hidden beach
Word to the wise: As Belevari Marine is the main operator going to the island, you can ask them to take you out on a quiet day for maximum seclusion.

Belevari Island is a sneaky little thing. It is a scenic, albeit tiny, stretch of beach that surfaces for around five hours each day when the tide is sufficiently low. Exposed, it's the cleanest, most beautiful beach in the region. Best of all, it’s virtually empty most of the time.
Access to the exclusive little island has to be booked through Belevari Marine. Passengers are treated to a two-hour cruise aboard one of their ships and are then dropped off on the island for an additional two hours of lounging, swimming and picnicking before returning to the city.
