Hatta Resorts has announced its reopening date for the winter season, with guests set to return on Monday, 15 September 2025. Surrounded by the dramatic Hajar Mountains, Hatta continues to offer an escape from the city while providing both tranquillity and adventure.
This year, new activities, facilities, and events will make Hatta one of Dubai’s top winter destinations.
Adventure and leisure in one place

Hatta Resorts and the Wadi Hub remain the heart of this mountain retreat. Visitors can kayak, hike, mountain bike, and glamp under the stars. Cultural experiences also feature strongly, with the heritage village offering a glimpse of traditional Emirati life.
Accommodation options are diverse, with cosy cabins, stylish domes, vintage campers, and caravans ensuring guests can design their stay to match their preferred pace — whether that’s an active weekend or a peaceful retreat.
What’s new this year
Two key updates are being introduced this season:
- Swimming Pool Access: A dedicated pool area with sun loungers is now available, creating the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring.
- Dog-Friendly Caravans: Visitors can now bring their dogs along for a glamping experience, making Hatta more inclusive for families with pets.
Both additions underline Hatta’s evolution into a destination that balances outdoor adventure with comfort and accessibility.
Outdoor events and fitness challenges
Hatta’s seasonal calendar will be filled with adventure-driven events that bring the community together. Highlights for 2025 include:
- Dubai Fitness Challenge (November): A month-long programme encouraging residents to embrace outdoor workouts in the mountains.
- Spartan and Tough Mudder (1–2 November): Endurance challenges designed for both first-timers and professional athletes.
- Ultra Trail Dubai (12–14 December): International trail races showcasing Hatta’s rugged terrain and panoramic views.
These events reinforce Hatta’s reputation as an outdoor hub, attracting fitness enthusiasts, families, and travellers seeking active experiences in a natural setting.
Hatta stands out
Only 90 minutes from central Dubai, Hatta has become a favourite for weekend getaways and group trips. Its blend of adventure, relaxation, and culture sets it apart from other destinations, while new experiences ensure it stays relevant to both residents and tourists.
As Dubai continues to focus on sustainable and eco-friendly tourism, Hatta remains an important part of this vision, highlighting how the emirate is diversifying its leisure offerings beyond the urban landscape.
With its reopening on 15 September 2025, Hatta Resorts begins a new winter season that promises more variety than ever before. Hatta offers a mountain escape for everyone, whether you’re hiking, kayaking, tackling a Spartan race, or glamping with your dog.
