Yas Marina, recognized as the GCC's sole marina to achieve the esteemed Five Gold Anchor Platinum accreditation, has recently welcomed the Orchid Overnight Superyacht. This marks Abu Dhabi's inaugural venture into floating hotel accommodations.

The superyacht, permanently moored at Yas Marina and managed by Dutch Oriental, ushers in an innovative hospitality paradigm within the UAE. It merges the elegance of maritime architecture with the comfort of five-star hotels, offering guests an unparalleled luxury stay amidst the waters.

The vessel is equipped with polished interiors, private suites, and dedicated services, enhancing the allure of one of Abu Dhabi's most celebrated destinations.

The Orchid Overnight Superyacht includes 24 Superior Rooms measuring 25 sqm, equipped with either king or twin beds alongside private bathrooms. Additionally, there are four VIP Rooms of 30 sqm featuring king beds and ensuite bathrooms, and three opulent Royal Suites.

Each Royal Suite spans 60 sqm and includes a king bed, sofa bed, living area, private hot tub, and shower, promising an indulgent stay. Room rates commence from AED 990 per night, with the entire superyacht also available for exclusive hire, perfect for private celebrations or corporate events.

Guests aboard the Orchid Overnight Superyacht can indulge in a range of top-tier amenities. These include a sun-drenched top deck complete with loungers, dining setups, buffet stations, and full-service bartenders, making it an ideal spot for relaxation or social gatherings.

A spacious reception area ensures a welcoming atmosphere with concierge services readily available. The superyacht provides flexible dining options, from full board to bed and breakfast, alongside 24-hour in-room dining crafted by skilled onboard chefs. Additionally, unlimited soft beverages are offered during all sunset and dinner cruises, enhancing the luxury experience.

"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.

"Strategic collaborations such as this strengthen Yas Island's position on the global stage as a premier destination for exceptional leisure and entertainment experiences," said Jassim Albastaki, General Manager at Yas Asset Management.

"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," explained Swapnil Patrikar, General Manager- Hospitality & Business Development from Dutch Oriental Megayachts.

For those desiring an exclusive getaway amid the tranquil sea, the Orchid Overnight Superyacht offers just that. Guests can relish in gourmet cuisine prepared by expert chefs, enjoy the 360° sun deck views, and benefit from round-the-clock Front Desk, Concierge & Housekeeping services.

The accommodations boast smart room automation, choice of King or Twin beds, premium bathroom amenities, and floor-to-ceiling windows, providing an unforgettable exploration of Abu Dhabi's mesmerising coastline. Beginning October 2025, the superyacht will introduce new sundowner and dinner cruises, welcoming the season in style.
