If you’ve ever watched cars race around Yas Marina Circuit and thought, “I want to be closer than this,” there’s now a way to do exactly that. And not just for a few minutes. There’s a limited-time staycation deal that combines time on the Yas Marina Circuit track with a hotel stay. Not a bad combo, honestly.
Yas Marina Circuit Staycation Lets Guests Drive By Day And Sleep Trackside
Book a DriveYAS experience, and you also get a one-night stay for two at W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island. It runs until May 6, so yeah, not a long window. For many people, this turns what would’ve been a quick activity into something that actually feels like a break. You’re not rushing in and out. You stay. You wake up there. It changes the vibe a bit.
Drivers, First-Timers, Even Just Curious Visitors
The track options cover a lot. You can get behind the wheel of something like a Formula YAS3000 or try a Caterham if you want that open, low-to-the-ground feel. Also, there’s a Young Driver Experience for teens, which is kind of cool if someone younger wants to try it safely. But not everyone wants to drive. Fair enough.
There are tours too, like the speed-focused ones, and even VIP options where you just see how everything works behind the scenes. For many, that’s enough.
When The Hotel Actually Feels Part Of The Experience
What makes this one stand out is where you stay. W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island sits right over the circuit. Not near it. Over it. So even after you leave the track, you’re still kind of in it. You check in, look out the window, and there it is again. Cars, lights, the whole setting. It doesn’t feel like you’ve left.
That said, it’s not all noise and speed. The stay includes breakfast, so it slows down the next morning.

A Different Way To Spend Time On Yas Island
For many, Yas Marina Circuit has always been about race days. Big events. Crowds. But this offer shows how the place is shifting, less about just watching, more about experiencing it in smaller, more personal ways.
Also, bookings go through the circuit’s app, and spots are limited. So it’s not something you leave till the last minute.
