Wet Deck

Wet Deck Abu Dhabi redefines the poolside lounge experience atop the iconic W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island. Perched high above the vibrant Yas Island landscape, this adults‑only rooftop venue blends panoramic Arabian Gulf views, curated cocktails, and resident DJ sets into a single stylish destination. From sun‑drenched afternoons to starlit evenings, the Wet Deck offers a sophisticated escape where the energy of the city meets the calm of the waterfront.

Guests arrive to a modern, open‑air setting designed for both relaxation and celebration. Comfortable sunbeds surround the temperature‑controlled pool, while shaded lounge areas invite conversation and lingering. The resident DJs provide a steady soundtrack that shifts from laid‑back daytime grooves to upbeat evening rhythms, making the deck equally suited for a quiet midday refresh and a lively weekend gathering.

Poolside Experiences & Weekly Events

The Wet Deck calendar is built around curated experiences that turn a regular pool day into a social occasion. Each event combines food, beverage, and music in a distinct way, giving regulars and first‑time visitors fresh reasons to return.

Brunch After Scene

Saturday afternoons take on an electrifying new rhythm during Brunch After Scene. From 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM, guests enjoy unlimited drinks while the resident DJ spins high‑energy tracks. The package starts from AED 130 per person and transforms the pool deck into an open‑air party lounge where friends gather to extend the weekend well past sunset.

Sunchasers All‑Day Pass

For those who want to settle in for a full day of sun, water, and bites, the Sunchasers pass runs Monday through Saturday from noon to 8:00 PM. At AED 150 per person, the full amount is redeemable as food and beverage credit. Guests reserve a sunbed, dip in the pool whenever they like, and order from the light‑bites menu without watching the clock.

Splash and Sip – Ladies Day

Sundays are reserved for ladies day with Splash and Sip. Every Sunday from noon to 4:00 PM, women enjoy an unlimited house beverage package at AED 79 per person alongside a 30‑percent discount on the food menu. DJ Crisel sets the mood while groups relax poolside and soak up the afternoon sun.

Food, Drinks & Atmosphere

Wet Deck’s menu is designed for poolside grazing. A blend of familiar favorites and fresh flavors, the kitchen prepares dishes that pair effortlessly with the drink list. Burgers, shrimp Caesar salad, and other light yet satisfying plates keep energy high for hours of swimming and socializing. The bar program leans toward refreshing cocktails, mocktails, and premium spirits, all served by a team that knows the deck as well as regulars do.

The atmosphere is what sets Wet Deck apart from a typical hotel pool bar. The design, lighting, and music are intentionally synchronised to create a sense of place—where the Arabian sun, cool water, and crafted drinks come together. Whether guests want a quiet afternoon with a book and a spritz or a lively evening with friends around the pool, the venue adapts naturally.
