Nurai Island

Take part in individual or group yoga sessions at Nurai Island, a boutique private island resort reached via a short boat ride from the shores of Abu Dhabi along the Arabian Gulf. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches and lush vegetation, the exclusive island resort features an oceanside spa, a beach club, and an array of exceptional activities on land and at sea.

St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort

Set along a pristine beach on Saadiyat Island, the luxurious St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort is a 5-star beachfront escape just 10 minutes from Abu Dhabi’s bustling downtown. The resort’s guestrooms all feature private terraces, with most offering panoramic views of the turquoise Arabian Gulf. There’s also a first-class spa and a remarkable fitness centre with an indoor pool.

Yoga classes at the resort offer a combination of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, focusing on functional movement and alignment with poses and breathing exercises, creating smooth transitional flows. You’ll also love waking up with the sun and doing yoga on the beach!

Anantara Qasr Al Sarab

Located in the legendary Liwa Desert, more Surrounded by Sand than Surrounded by Water, the fabulous Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort is a luxury oasis that also offers excellent yoga classes.

Guests can enjoy basic to intermediate Hatha yoga, focusing on breathing, stress release and poses. Teachers do their best to adapt to guests’ abilities – particularly if you are trying yoga for the first time. And the big thrill for yoga lovers here is the chance to enjoy a yoga class out in the desert atop a sand dune!
