Discover Al Safliya Island Experience

The draw here is less the island itself — a small, uninhabited sandbank off the coast — and more the hour-long boat ride to reach it, which runs close enough to West Bay and The Pearl to take in the skyline from the water. On arrival, a traditional Arabian seating setup (table, cushions) is laid out on the sand for whichever meal slot you've booked, with time built in either side for swimming. Bring your own swimwear and towel; there's minimal shade or facilities on the island itself, so this suits a clear, calm day more than a windy one.
