Family Hotels Near Yas Marina Circuit
Yas Marina Circuit is one of the easiest Formula 1 venues to share with children, because Yas Island also holds Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World and SeaWorld Yas Island. Families can stay on the island itself, where Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island, Staybridge Suites Abu Dhabi - Yas Island and DoubleTree by Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island Residences offer pools, free parking and, for the last two, kitchens. Beach resorts on Saadiyat Island and at Al Raha Beach are a short drive away. I would choose by how many non-race days you plan, then by room layout.

Theme parks, kitchens and beaches for families
With children, a race weekend is only part of the trip. Yas Island puts the circuit next to several theme parks, so the days before and after the race fill themselves, and many hotels on this page offer suites, apartments with kitchens or kid-friendly facilities. Almost all of them list free parking, which makes it simple to drive between the hotel, the parks and the grandstand without relying on taxis late at night.
Staying on Yas Island keeps everything close for a family. Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island holds a 9.6 guest score in our data and sits on the bay with outdoor pools, and some rooms include a kitchen. Staybridge Suites Abu Dhabi - Yas Island offers suites with kitchens and free breakfast, while DoubleTree by Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island Residences is an apartment hotel with a kitchen in each unit and a kid-friendly setting. From any of them, Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld and the circuit are a short drive, so you can split the weekend between the track and a park.
For families who want space to cook and spread out, the aparthotels off the island are worth a look. Capital Centre Arjaan by Rotana, at 9.4, offers studios and suites with kitchen facilities, and Aparthotel Adagio Abu Dhabi Al Bustan has full kitchens, an outdoor pool and a hot tub. Andalus Al Seef Resort & Spa lists kid-friendly quarters with kitchens and four outdoor pools. Emirates Park Resort, near the Emirates Park Zoo, adds rooms with kitchens and a quieter setting away from the race crowds, which suits younger children who need an early night.
Beach resorts are the other strong option. Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas and The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, both at 9.4, combine beach access with pools, and Saadiyat Island also has the Louvre Abu Dhabi for a calmer day out. Al Raha Beach Resort & Spa lists kid-friendly amenities, beach access and an airport shuttle between Yas Island and the city. Along the Khor Al Maqta creek, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr offers two private beaches and six restaurants, and The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal describes a kid-friendly environment with a pool and spa.
Simpler hotels work well too when the days are spent at the parks and the circuit. Premier Inn Abu Dhabi lists family-friendly amenities, an outdoor pool and a hot tub, and Premier Inn Abu Dhabi Capital Centre Hotel adds a free area shuttle. In the Capital Centre district, Centro Capital Centre has a rooftop pool and kid-friendly facilities, and Pearl Rotana Capital Centre has a rooftop pool and five dining options. Park Rotana Abu Dhabi adds tennis courts and family facilities. All of these list free parking, which matters when you move between parks, beach and grandstand.
Yas Island is Abu Dhabi's leisure district, built around Yas Marina Circuit and a cluster of theme parks: Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World and SeaWorld Yas Island. Saadiyat Island adds beaches and the Louvre Abu Dhabi to the west. For families, this makes the Abu Dhabi race weekend easy to turn into a longer holiday.
A traveler's takeFor a family race weekend at Yas Marina Circuit, I would book Staybridge Suites Abu Dhabi - Yas Island. It is on Yas Island, scores 9.2 in our data, and offers suites with kitchens, free breakfast, an outdoor pool and free parking. My advice is to keep one day for Yas Waterworld or Ferrari World, so the children have their own highlight alongside the race.
