BACK TO THE MOUNTAINS: HATTA RESORTS SET TO REOPEN 15 SEPTEMBER WITH NATURE-FIRST STAYS, POOL-DAY ACCESS AND BIG SPORTS WEEKENDS

Hatta Resorts by Dubai Holding and its Wadi Hub, the destination that brings together adventure and relaxation located by the breathtaking Hajar mountains, is set to welcome guests back for its latest season inviting residents and visitors to swap city pace for mountain air. The destination brings together calm water, trails and heritage, with easy ways to book, exceptional service and guidance and experiences designed for families, friends and adventure lovers.

New this season, visitors can enjoy Drop In pool-day access to a dedicated swimming pool area, complete with sun loungers. The ideal space to unwind between rides, hikes and dam views, the pool complements Wadi Hub’s headline slides and splash-led fun, giving guests a relaxed counterpoint to high-energy activities. In addition, the Caravans, one of Hatta Resort’s unique glamping propositions, are gearing up to welcome dog-owners and their four-legged friends, with the accommodation now certified as dog friendly.

The calendar at Hatta Wadi Hub is packed with major endurance events. Throughout November, during Dubai Fitness Challenge, Hatta Wadi Hub will host a month-long programme of outdoor sessions designed to make it easier to get active in the mountains. Spartan and Tough Mudder also return on 1-2 November 2025, offering challenges for first timers and seasoned racers. This will be followed by Ultra Trail Dubai on 5-7 December, featuring a range of races that highlight Hatta’s rugged terrain and picturesque views.

Beyond the big weekends, guests can make the most of Hatta’s diverse mix of experiences, from kayaking on the dam and hiking across marked trails to culture time at the heritage village and glamping under clear night skies. Accommodation spans nature-led cabins, vintage campers, caravans and domes, so every group can shape its own mountain escape.

With an ongoing focus on responsible tourism, visitors can enjoy a stay that guarantees safety, respect for wildlife and the leave-no-trace mindset that keeps the mountains special for everyone. As a destination committed to supporting and empowering local communities, Hatta serves as an important platform for SMEs with more than 24 local entrepreneurs represented at Hatta’s Wadi Hub.

Roudi Soubra, Vice President, Asset Management, Dubai Holding said: “Hatta Resorts continues to strengthen its global appeal by diversifying experiences and anticipating emerging trends – particularly in adventure tourism, where demand is growing rapidly. With visitor numbers increasing year after year, we remain committed to a simple goal – ensuring that every moment spent in the mountains is uplifting and memorable. That means relaxed pool access alongside exhilarating races including Spartan, Tough Mudder and Ultra Trail Dubai, and a full month of movement during the Dubai Fitness Challenge. Above all, we will deliver experiences that celebrate the mountains, support our community and protect the heritage that makes Hatta Resorts unique, reinforcing its position as a destination of choice for local and international travellers alike.”
