When the sun starts painting the Arabian Gulf in gold, Kai Beach on Saadiyat Island transforms into a playground for food lovers, families and anyone craving a stretch of white sand. The venue mixes a relaxed beach vibe with a lively programme of dining events, making it easy to swap a typical night-in for a seaside supper without breaking the bank.
Whether you arrive for a short afternoon or set up camp for the whole weekend, the club’s schedule is built around three pillars: mouth-watering meals, unrestricted beach access and a membership model that rewards repeat visits. Below you will find a concise guide to each offering, plus a look at the nearby Kai Blue villa that lets you extend the ocean mood into a private retreat.
Dining moments that define the weekend
The first thing most guests notice is the Sunset Supper – a daily affair from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. The menu is a la carte, featuring burgers, bao, wraps, pizzas and a range of chilled beverages. It’s designed as a relaxed “after-work treat”, letting you unwind on the sand while the sky turns pink. Reservations are advised; you can call 050 283 5795 or email info.kai@.
Thursday afternoons receive a special boost with a beachside grill session. From noon to 4 pm, guests enjoy a shared plate buffet of freshly grilled favourites, coupled with direct beach access so kids can play while you soak up the sun. The price is Dhs 275 per person, which includes the barbecue menu and a beach pass. The same contact details apply for bookings.
Sunday is reserved for the Family Table, a generous spread of seafood, sushi, grill items and desserts. Packages start at Dhs 360 for a soft-drink bundle and rise to Dhs 460 for a full house-beverage option. Children aged 6-12 can join for Dhs 200. All packages incorporate beach access, turning a simple lunch into a day-long seaside experience.
Beach access, day-passes and long-term membership
For those who prefer to stay on the sand rather than sit at a table, Kai Beach sells redeemable day-passes. Weekday passes cost Dhs 175 for adults (with Dhs 50 credit for food or drinks) and Dhs 75 for children (Dhs 25 credit). Weekends are priced higher – Dhs 250 for adults (Dhs 100 credit) and Dhs 100 for children (Dhs 25 credit). Passes are valid all day, giving families a guilt-free excuse to lounge, swim and enjoy the Gulf’s gentle waves.
If the beach has become a regular part of your routine, the club offers membership plans that grant unlimited entry and a suite of perks. While exact rates vary, members typically enjoy discounted dining, priority reservations and occasional private events. Interested readers should contact the same phone line or email address to request a brochure and discuss the best tier for their lifestyle.
