Taking over Jawahir Garden from October 5th to 20th, Oktoberfest at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi will see the scenic outdoor space transformed into a Bavarian-style gathering filled with festive charm. Next to Vero Italiano, the garden will be decorated in blue and white, with long wooden benches inviting guests to eat, drink, and socialise in true German fashion. As the evening settles in, fairy lights illuminate the space, and the air fills with clinking glasses, cheerful chatter, and the sounds of live music. No Oktoberfest is complete without traditional bites and Bavarian brews, and the resort’s talented team will be serving up all the essentials. Savour warm pretzels with cheese dip and juicy chicken bratwurst, ideal for a quick bite in between games. For something heartier, head to the live stations for whole smoked brisket or crispy schnitzel, while those with a sweet tooth can enjoy freshly baked Apfelstrudel. To keep spirits high, the Krombacher hops stand will be pouring chilled hops throughout the festivities. Further elevating the experience, guests can take part in classic Oktoberfest games and old-school competitions kicking off from 6.00pm. Try your hand at darts, barrel races, and cornhole throws while live performers bring the sounds of the season to life with traditional tunes. The Oktoberfest celebrations are complimentary for in-house guests on an All-Inclusive package, while those on other meal plans or visiting can join the fun for AED 299 per person, which includes three hours of free-flowing hops and Bavarian-style bites. Teen guests between 12 and 20 can enjoy the experience for AED 199 with soft beverages, while kids aged six to 12 enjoy 50% off, and children under six go free. This October, Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi brings the spirit of Oktoberfest to life with authentic flavours, family-friendly games, and festive vibes. With limited space available, early bookings are encouraged.
