Abu Dhabi has unveiled its first floating hotel, a superyacht moored at Yas Marina that combines the exclusivity of a private yacht with the conveniences of a luxury hotel, starting from AED990 per night.
Enjoying a prime position on Yas Marina, Orchid Overnight Superyacht puts guests within minutes of headline attractions, including Ferrari World’s world-record roller coaster, Yas Waterworld’s aquatic adventures and an array of dining and nightlife options.
Onboard, the vessel houses 31 guest rooms, including 24 Superior Rooms with private bathrooms, four VIP Rooms and three Royal Suites. The Royal Suites are designed with king beds, sofa beds, separate living areas, private hot tubs and showers.
All accommodation features floor-to-ceiling windows, smart automation systems and premium bathroom amenities.
Guest facilities extend to a top deck furnished with loungers, dining areas, buffet stations and a 24-hour reception with concierge services and dedicated bartenders.
Dining packages are flexible, ranging from bed and breakfast to full board, with 24-hour in-room dining available and menus are curated by onboard chefs.
For travellers seeking bespoke touches, optional extras include Rolls-Royce transfers and curated Abu Dhabi excursions, and from October 2025, Orchid Overnight will introduce sundowner and dining cruises.
