WE AREN’T OVERRUN with nightclubs in Abu

Dhabi, but we can count ourselves lucky that

the ones that do exist are very good indeed.

In case you missed the results of the Time

Out Abu Dhabi Music & Nightlife Awards 2019,

here are all the winners and nominees in the

Best Club category.

Now get your dancing shoes on and get out

there and party.

HIGHLY COMMENDED

Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE

Sure, you have to drive down the road towards

Dubai, but it’s well worth it to visit this Ibiza-

style club, which is on Abu Dhabi turf. The

day-to-night venue is ideal for sunset clubbing

and dancing to international house DJs as you

gaze out at the Arabian Gulf. There’s also a

cracking restaurant looking over the DJ booth

and danceÁoor and a super Saturday brunch

that’s worth checking out, too.

O Golden Tulip Al Jazira Hotel and Resort, Ghantoot

(056 113 3400).

HIGHLY COMMENDED

Hysteria

If you’re craving a night of dancing, this

Hilton Capital Grand nightspot will give you

everything you need. There are ladies’ nights

and urban music nights, and it has carved out

a reputation for putting on excellent Arabic

music soirées.

O Hilton Capital Grand Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Rashid Bin

Saeed Street (054 444 7841).

Legends Night Club

Legends is one of the few places in the capital

where you can party until 3.30am every night

of the week. It’s located in the Sheraton Abu

Dhabi, one of the capital’s veteran hotels,

and it’s super popular amongst residents and

holiday makers.

WINNER

MAD on Yas Island

As the UAE’s biggest nightclub, Akon, Iggy

Azalea and Tinie Tempah are just a few of

the huge names who have entertained the

revellers at MAD over the years. If you’re

feeling Áashy, you can go all out and hire a

table up near the DJ booth, or it’s just as fun

to join the throngs on the Áoor around the

Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE
