The Weekend Club by SECRET launches at InterContinental Abu Dhabi this May

If your idea of a perfect weekend is not just relaxing but social, elevated, and full of energy, this is one to book immediately!

Introducing The Weekend Club by SECRET – a new concept designed to transform a hotel stay into a curated weekend experience. Blending stay, brunch, wellness, music, and a strong party vibe throughout, this is built for those who want more from their weekends.

Taking over InterContinental Abu Dhabi from 02 to 03 May, this first edition sets the tone for a new kind of weekend in the city. You come for a stay, but leave remembering the atmosphere, the people and the experience.

Priced at AED 699 per room for two adults, this is not just value, it is access to something different.

So, What is The Weekend Club by SECRET?

It is not a typical staycation! Instead of simply booking a room, you step into a carefully curated weekend experience, where everything is designed to flow effortlessly from one moment to the next.

From relaxed arrivals to high-energy brunches and after-party moments to slow Sunday resets, the experience carries a consistent party energy throughout the weekend.

It’s also a space where you naturally connect with like-minded people. Whether you arrive as a couple or with friends, the setting makes it easy to meet others to be part of a larger experience.

Saturday, 02 May: Arrive, Connect & Set the Tone

The weekend begins between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM at the Club Lounge, where guests are welcomed by The Weekend Club team.

This is not a rushed check-in. It is a relaxed arrival with welcome drinks, easy conversations, and a chance to settle into the atmosphere.

From here, you move into the orientation and partner activation space, where the experience begins to build.

What to Expect:

• IHG One Rewards enrolment for added benefits 

• Head and shoulder massages during the orientation, plus an exclusive 30% discount on additional massage treatments at the Health Club and Bayshore Club.

• Grooming services at Cayenne Beauty Salon

• Wellness sessions, including yoga and HIIT, by Wellness Partner

• Interactive gaming experiences by Tep Factor / Prison Island

• A range of partner activations and exclusive perks 

All experiences are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, adding to the exclusivity of the weekend.

The afternoon: Where the Energy Shifts

From 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, the experience moves to Chamas Churrascaria.

This is where the weekend fully comes alive.

A brunch with house beverages, live music, and a lively crowd creates a social atmosphere that feels natural, engaging, and high energy without being overwhelming.

From 4:30 PM: The party continues

There is no break in the flow, only a shift in mood.

From 4:30 PM onward, the after party takes over at Chamas Bar, where the vibe becomes more upbeat, social, and dynamic.

Each guest receives five drink vouchers, allowing you to stay in the moment without interruption.

As the evening continues, guests can explore dining across the hotel’s outlets, including Belgian Café, Fishmarket, Bistro 81, and Selections, all with exclusive IHG dining benefits.

Sunday, 03 May: Slow Down, Stay Connected

After a high-energy Saturday, Sunday is designed to balance the experience.

Breakfast at Selections (6:30 AM to 11:00 AM) offers a relaxed start, followed by beach yoga at Marina Garden, creating a calm and refreshing reset.

For those who want to stay active, an optional outdoor HIIT session adds an energising start to the day.

The Final Chapter: Poolside at Bayshore

From 11:00 AM onwards, the experience moves to Bayshore Beach Club.

Here, the weekend slows down again, but the social energy remains. A poolside session with music, sun, and a relaxed crowd creates the perfect atmosphere for a closing.

It is effortless, social, and exactly how a weekend should end.

Check-out is at 4:00 PM, giving you time to fully enjoy the experience.
