Yas Marina hospitality and access that isn't sold to the public. A private, tailored journey of 4-5 days in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$14,000 per traveler.

When to go
From October to April is the best window for Abu Dhabi. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- Watch the race from private hospitality above Yas Marina, the harbour and the circuit spread below.
- Move through the weekend with access arranged behind the scenes, kept well off the public schedule.
- Take in the marina by evening as the race city hums, dining privately away from the throng.
- Close the weekend on the water, the yachts and the illuminated grandstands framing the night.
A sense of the rhythm
The days build with the race weekend, mornings at ease and afternoons at the circuit, every arrival and exit smoothed so the crowds never touch you.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Secure hospitality and access early, long before the weekend takes shape.
- A private transfer to and from the circuit spares you every bottleneck.
- Keep the daytime hours light so the evenings at the marina can run late.
- Let a fixer hold the credentials so each day moves without a pause.
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$14,000 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.
Your Virtuoso privileges
As a Virtuoso member, Forest Travel includes benefits reserved for Virtuoso guests at the finest luxury hotels, at no added cost: a room upgrade on arrival when available, daily breakfast for two, a property credit toward dining or spa, and early check-in with late check-out when the hotel allows.
