Tour Overview

Indulge in the ultimate coastal luxury day trip with our private yacht cruise from Dubai to Zaya Nurai Island, Abu Dhabi's ultra-exclusive private island sanctuary. Often compared to the Maldives, Zaya Nurai is renowned for its turquoise lagoons, pristine powdery sands, and chic bohemian beach clubs. Departing early from Dubai Harbour, your yacht embarks on an exhilarating 2-hour coastal run along the shoreline of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Upon arrival at Nurai Island’s private guest jetty, step directly onto the island where your pre-arranged day passes grant access to beachfront infinity pools, sun loungers, and watersports facilities. Savor gourmet seafood at Hooked, contemporary Mexican dishes at Dusk, or international fare at Frangipani. After an unforgettable afternoon on the island, re-embark your yacht for a sunset champagne cruise back to Dubai as the city skyline twinkles on the horizon.
