A Greek-inspired spot making waves in the capital

Privilee Abu Dhabi just levelled up. Think serene infinity pool, golden-hour views, and Greek-inspired plates, wrapped in laid-back luxe. Ilios Beach Club is the latest name on our map, blending aesthetic details with front-row views of Surf Abu Dhabi. Dine on Mediterranean favourites, sip at sunset, or spend the day poolside – every moment’s curated for cool, calm, and content.

Day-to-night

Set on Al Hudayriyat Island, Ilios brings a new energy to the capital – calm, chic, and made for day-to-night plans. It’sopen daily from 12pm til late, so whether you're coming for lunch and staying for sunset, or meeting friends for a low-key evening by the waves, it’s got range.

This is downtime with polish. Loungers in the pool. Brunches that roll into drinks. Soft neutral tones and a playlist that never overpowers. The kind of place that shifts your whole weekend pace.

What to expect

Start your day poolside – a glassy infinity pool with sunken loungers and plush daybeds sets the tone. Every detail’sconsidered, from cream parasols and striped deck chairs to a clean, open layout made for that layered blue horizon.

Upstairs, it’s split between a sleek shisha lounge and a boujee bar serving sunset spritzes and bites. And when the light dips behind the surf simulator, the views hit different. (Surf Abu Dhabi access isn’t included, but the backdrop is unbeatable.)

Mediterranean mood board

Food’s a big player here – and Members enjoy savings across the board.

Start with Ilios Restaurant, where the menu leans Greek-Mediterranean with a Japanese fusion, and the vibe stays elevated – from midday to moonlight. Whether you’re in for a long lunch, a weekend brunch, or something to share with the table – you’re covered.

For poolside cravings, Apollo Pool Bar delivers easy, stylish bites with a view, while the Ilios Lounge and Ilios Bar take over post-dip. Think casual plates, chilled cocktails, and DJ sets that ease you into the evening.

Privilee Members enjoy 25% off à la carte + business lunch, 25% off Saturday & Sunday brunch. Valid for Members plus three guests.

Here's a taste of what to expect:

Ilios Restaurant

Light, fresh, and effortlessly refined. Expect Greek-inspired plates, Mediterranean classics, and laid-back dining that moves from day to night. Sit inside or out – either way, you’ve got the view.

Apollo Pool Bar

Your go-to for poolside grazing. Think casual bites, crafted cocktails, and a soundscape that sets the tone. Ideal for lazy afternoons and in-between dips.

Ilios Lounge

Upstairs, it’s all about the vibe. Shisha on one side, a sleek lounge on the other – with surf views and golden-hour lighting that does the work for you.

Ilios Bar

Sundown spot, sorted. The cocktail list delivers, the setting’s a scene, and the energy shifts perfectly from late afternoon to low-key night.

Nalu

Set apart from the main beach club, Nalu is its own moment.

With clean interiors, ocean air, and a fresh sushi bar, this one’s ideal for quiet lunches, date nights, or something a little more refined. Sit inside or out – either way, you’ll catch uninterrupted views over Surf Abu Dhabi. Privilee Members enjoy 25% off à la carte here, too.
