2026 Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix: Trackside Hospitality

This is a three-day VIP hospitality package tied to the 2026 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, set at the W Lounge & Terrace in Abu Dhabi. Instead of watching from the grandstands, guests settle into a lounge with a direct line of sight to the action, for the whole Formula 1 weekend.

The programme mixes luxury hospitality with technology. Expect hyper-realistic VR race simulations, futuristic race-themed holograms and interactive showcases that blend digital and physical moments, all in a production design created specially for the occasion. Dining and hospitality round out the experience, and champagne flows freely while the cars thunder past.

The terrace looks out over turns 11, 12 and 13 of the Yas Marina Circuit, giving sweeping views of the harbour section of the track. It is a front-row position for one of the most exciting races on the F1 calendar, and you can follow the cars through this stretch while the atmosphere builds around you.

The lounge is part of W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island, a hotel on Yas Island, the part of Abu Dhabi best known for the Yas Marina Circuit, theme parks and a busy leisure and entertainment scene. On Grand Prix weekend the whole island fills with fans and events. If you live in Dubai, expect a drive of roughly an hour to an hour and a half to reach it, so many visitors plan the weekend as a short stay.

The format suits motorsport fans who want comfort, good food and drink, and a more social way to experience race weekend, as well as anyone curious about how technology is changing the way fans engage with Formula 1. Because it is a package covering three days, it works best for those who want to spend the full race weekend in one place rather than drop in for a single session.
