Yas Marina is one of the best floating hotels and the only marina in the GCC to be recognized as having the Five Gold Anchor Platinum badge.

Yas Marina, the lifestyle destination of its kind, has announced that the Orchid Overnight Superyacht, the first of its kind in the UAE, has arrived in Abu Dhabi.

A new wave of hospitality is ushered in the UAE with the introduction of the Orchid Overnight, as it is permanently docked at Yas Marina and is run by Dutch Oriental.

Combining the elegant seafaring appearance with five-star hospitality in a seamless manner, the superyacht provides its clients with a chance to feel luxurious and have accommodation on the sea.

It provides its customers with refined interiors, personal suites, and exclusive guest services that will offer a high-end experience in one of the most iconic places in Abu Dhabi.

General Manager of Yas Asset Management, Jassim Albastaki, said, “The launch of Orchid Overnight marks a bold new chapter in Abu Dhabi’s hospitality scene, and we’re proud to host it at Yas Marina. Combining the elegance and exclusivity of a superyacht with the comfort of a luxury hotel, it offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Paired with Yas Marina’s amenities and entertainment, it’s a seamless blend of sophistication and lifestyle. Strategic collaborations such as this strengthen Yas Island’s position on the global stage as a premier destination for exceptional leisure and entertainment experiences.”

“Choosing Yas Marina as the home of The Orchid Overnight was a natural decision. It offers facilities that cater seamlessly to the needs of our guests, while its prime location makes it easily accessible for visitors from both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. With Zayed International Airport just moments away, it also provides unparalleled convenience for international travellers arriving to experience this one-of-a-kind floating hotel,” adds Swapnil Patrikar, General Manager- Hospitality and Business Development from Dutch Oriental Megayachts.

Yas Marina has offered an enchanting overnight stay, surrounded by panoramic sunsets and the serene sea with gourmet delights and cuisine, crafted by professional chefs.

The service features 360-degree views of the sun deck, 24/7 front desk, Concierge & Housekeeping, Smart room automation, King or Twin beds, Premium bathroom amenities, and Floor-to-ceiling windows, which offer a seamless experience to the visitors of Abu Dhabi.

Orchid Overnight Superyacht will also be launching sundowner and dinner cruises starting in October 2025 to mark the start of the new season.
