Hilton Abu Dhabi hotel beach awarded Blue Flag

Hiltonia Beach Club at the Hilton Abu Dhabi has been rewarded for its sustainability efforts with a Blue Flag award.

The internationally recognised Blue Flag has honoured the hotel’s efforts to protect and develop the Abu Dhabi coastline. The flag was awarded following a thorough analysis of water samples taken from the sea water along the hotel’s private beach.

Wolfgang Maier, general manager of Hilton Abu Dhabi, said: “This is a fantastic achievement for Hilton Abu Dhabi and an award we accept with great pride. The hotel is a long standing favourite in the Emirate and we have always taken our ecological footprint very seriously and continually take steps to minimise our impact, while providing a seamless guest experience.

“As one of the most established beach clubs in Abu Dhabi, our high-flying Blue Flag will promote awareness of environmental best practice and encourage the sustainable development of beaches across the UAE.”

Hiltonia Beach Club has been popular with guests and locals who enjoy the facilities comprising three beachfront swimming pools, a luxury spa and fitness centre.
