Best Abu Dhabi Hotels with Swimming Pools
17 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Abu Dhabi . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Abu Dhabi hotels with a swimming pool range from a rooftop lap pool above the business district to a beachfront infinity pool at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi, with seventeen properties in this lineup offering one in some form. This works for families with kids from toddler age to early teens, since pool depth, shade and fencing vary a lot between a downtown apartment tower and a resort on Al Maryah Island. The honest limit: several of the pools listed here are adult-height and unfenced, so check depth and supervision rules directly with the property before booking if you're traveling with a non-swimmer under 6.
Abu Dhabi's swimming culture splits between rooftop hotel pools built for shade breaks and open sea water along the Corniche and Saadiyat side, which stays warm enough for swimming most of the year but gets crowded on Fridays. Business-district properties near Capital Gate tend to have smaller, quieter pools used mostly by hotel guests, while Al Maryah Island and Yas-adjacent hotels lean toward bigger family setups with poolside food service.

🏊Why Abu Dhabi is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi puts its pool and private beach area on the same stretch, which matters logistically: parents don't have to pack up sunscreen and towels twice to move between sand and chlorine. The hotel is 6 km from Qasr al-Hosn and 15 km from Louvre Abu Dhabi, both manageable half-day trips if the pool session runs long in the morning. Rooms include family and interconnected options, which keeps a two-bedroom booking from turning into two separate hotel rooms with two separate check-ins, and the spa and wellness centre next door means a parent can trade off pool duty for a sauna session without leaving the property at all.
Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island and Rosewood Abu Dhabi both sit on the same island, giving parents a pool with skyline and Gulf views plus six-plus dining venues between them for when a toddler refuses the hotel restaurant menu at 6pm. Rosewood adds a welcome ritual of Arabic coffee and dates on arrival, a five-minute stop that buys enough time to get bags into the room before anyone needs a bathroom. Both hotels sit within the same waterfront district, connected to The Galleria Al Maryah Island for shopping and dining without a taxi if pool time runs long and dinner plans need to move quickly.
At the value end, La Quinta by Wyndham Abu Dhabi Al Wahda combines a rooftop pool with a separate indoor pool, a genuine advantage on the days sandstorms or midday heat make the outdoor option unusable. It sits a 3-minute walk from Al Wahda Mall, so a rained-out or too-hot pool afternoon still has a backup plan that doesn't require a taxi. Budget for the 30 km run to Zayed International Airport when timing arrival naps, and note that the hotel's spa and steam room sit on the same floor as the indoor pool, useful if the plan is to rotate kids and adults through the same wing all afternoon.
Parent's take
We picked Beach Rotana Residences for the pool and ended up spending more time there than planned: the infinity edge faces the sea, so my 9-year-old could see the water while still swimming in the shallow end near us. My 4-year-old wore a life vest the whole time since the deep end drops off fast past the rope. The poolside bar took food orders without us leaving our loungers, which meant lunch happened without a single tantrum about leaving the water.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Swimming Pool in Abu Dhabi
- 1Ask reception for pool depth in centimetres before booking if you have a non-swimmer under 6, since several rooftop pools here have no shallow end.
- 2Book a room facing the pool if your kids are old enough to nap while you watch from the balcony, it saves a supervision headache at Rixos Marina and Rosewood.
- 3Pack reef-safe sunscreen; hotel gift shops in Abu Dhabi mark up sun care heavily and stock is inconsistent on Fridays.
- 4Bring your own arm bands or life vest for toddlers, most properties here don't stock kids' flotation gear at the pool deck.
- 5Plan pool time before 11am or after 4pm in summer months, the tiled decks around several of these pools get too hot to walk on barefoot by midday.
