About Al Lulu Island#

Al Lulu Island is a reclaimed island located offshore from the Abu Dhabi Corniche in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The island was created by dredging and has been the subject of proposed leisure and public-amenity developments.

There is limited permanent public infrastructure on the island and access has at times been restricted, so it is most commonly seen from the Corniche or visited by private boat. The island functions as a visible feature of Abu Dhabi’s coastal landscape rather than as a fully developed public park.

Al Lulu lies a short distance offshore from central Abu Dhabi and is part of the city’s coastal cluster of reclaimed land and islands.

  • Visibility: Visible from the Abu Dhabi Corniche and often included in short boat trips around the city’s coastline.

How to Get to Al Lulu Island#

Viewed easily from Abu Dhabi Corniche; boat operators can offer close approaches depending on permits. Direct public access to the island varies with development status and local regulations.

Tips for Visiting Al Lulu Island#

  • Check local development plans-Al Lulu has been subject to major redevelopment proposals that affect access and facilities.
  • Boat operators in Abu Dhabi can sometimes take visitors close to the island for aerial views-verify permits ahead of time.
  • The island itself may be restricted depending on construction or conservation policies-confirm with local authorities.
