About Lulu Island


Lulu Island is one of Abu Dhabi’s most intriguing and enigmatic destinations, a man-made island that sits just off the city’s bustling Corniche. Despite its proximity to the heart of the capital, Lulu Island has long been shrouded in a sense of mystery, with its sandy shores and palm-lined walkways visible from the mainland but rarely accessible to the public.


The island covers 1,050 acres and offers panoramic views of Abu Dhabi’s skyline and the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf. Its unique position and untouched landscape have made it a subject of fascination for residents and visitors alike.


Lulu Island provides a peaceful escape from city life with its white sandy beaches, picnic and BBQ spots, and water sports. Located across the Abu Dhabi Corniche, it’s reachable by a boat that you can take from Breakwaters Marina, making it a quick getaway in the city.
