Ideally positioned between the glistening Arabian Gulf and the UAE’s vibrant capital, Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi is the perfect backdrop to start your summer on an energised note. Every day from May 1st to 9th, guests will have ample opportunities to get active with a picturesque beach workout or a guided group cycle at the garden stage, as well as fitness sessions for the whole family, including Aqua Boxing or Aqua Jumping led by Sandra Perlini, a respected presenter and master trainer for Euroeducation Aqua Italy. With a deep passion for aquatic fitness, she specializes in designing and leading innovative water-based choreographies, bringing energy, inspiration, and creativity to every movement in the pool. To cool down after an action-packed day, guests can also take advantage of a revitalising ice bath treatment at the sports area or a grounding sound healing session at the stunning Isla Beach Bar Terrace.
The Mayfest programme will also have plenty of exciting activities to keep little ones thoroughly entertained throughout their summer stay. At Rixy Kids Club, children can dive into hands-on fun, such as crafting vibrant creations in a rug tufting workshop or mixing up sweet treats in a lively waffle-making class.
