From staying in waterfront accommodations and hiking through scenic trails to exploring Hatta’s rich cultural heritage, the resort makes it easy to relax and recharge, with smooth booking processes and high-quality services.
Day Access to the Pool – No Overnight Stay Required

The experience is further elevated with access to water slides and aquatic attractions at Hatta Wadi Hub, creating the perfect day retreat.
Luxurious Camping That Welcomes Pets
The resort’s popular caravans have been enhanced to offer a glamping experience like no other — and they’re now dog-friendly too. This means visitors can bring their pets along and enjoy the beauty of nature without compromising on comfort or convenience.
Big Events, Bigger Adventures
Hatta Wadi Hub is set to host some of the region’s most anticipated endurance races. On November 1st and 2nd, the Spartan Race and Tough Mudder will challenge both amateurs and seasoned athletes. Then, from December 5th to 7th, the Ultra Trail Dubai will take runners through Hatta’s rugged terrain with a variety of race options.
Additionally, the hub will host daily outdoor fitness sessions throughout November as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge — all set in the invigorating mountain air.
More Than Just a Weekend Escape
Whether you’re kayaking across the calm waters of the Hatta Dam, hiking mountain trails, exploring the heritage village, or stargazing from a luxury tent — Hatta delivers memorable experiences for all. Accommodation options include rustic lodges, classic trailers, domes, caravans, and mountain-side hotels — ensuring there’s something for every taste and travel style.
A Commitment to Responsible Tourism
Hatta’s tourism model is built around sustainability. The destination follows the “Leave No Trace” principle, ensuring the natural environment remains protected and pristine. It also champions local entrepreneurship, having supported more than 24 small and medium businesses within the Hatta Wadi Hub — reinforcing its commitment to community development.
