The Season Starts Here: November At Fahid Beach Club By Barbossa
With perfect weather and golden afternoons returning, Fahid Beach Club by Barbossa steps into November with a season made for the sand. The island’s favourite escape comes alive with music, movement, and unmistakable seaside energy.
Launching Friday, 7 November, FRQNCY @ Fahid introduces Abu Dhabi’s newest weekly ritual where music, wellness, and culture converge. From Social Padel @ Fahid sessions to sunset sets by Lemal Pierre Nelson, Rob Forrest, and Raydizz, the day flows seamlessly from sport to sound.
Then on Saturday, 8 November, the island turns up the tempo with an international DJ lineup featuring Peppe Citarella, Adrian Saguna, and Pado&Belo, bringing global house grooves to Abu Dhabi’s shores.

***NEW*** FRQNCY @ FAHID Live Music and Padel
Launching Friday, 7 November, FRQNCY @ Fahid sets the tone for the season. A weekly island series where music, wellness, and culture converge to create a distinctly modern island experience, the collaboration brings together movement, rhythm, and connection from afternoon into night.

***NEW*** One Night Only: DJs Peppe Citarella, Adrian Saguna, and Pado&Belu Live at Fahid Beach Club by Barbossa
As the sun sinks low and the coastline turns gold, Fahid Beach Club turns up the rhythm for a night built on soul, sand, and serious groove. On Friday, 8 November, the decks welcome three standout names who know how to move a crowd and keep the energy flowing long after twilight fades.
Leading the lineup is Peppe Citarella – Mexican-born, Italy-raised, and celebrated across the global Afro House scene. Founder of Union Records, Peppe’s sound brings warmth and pulse in equal measure, shaped by collaborations with legends like La India, Isidro Infante, Pablo Fierro, Dele Sosimi, Hugel, Basement Jaxx and more. Expect soulful heat, Latin percussion, and rhythms that feel like midnight in Rio under the stars.
Joining him is Adrian Saguna, one of Romania’s most exciting electronic talents. From UNTOLD and Neversea to SAGA and Massif, Adrian’s sets are built for movement. High-energy grooves, clean blends, and that rare ability to read a crowd and lift it higher with every drop.
Keeping the pulse alive, Romanian duo Pado&Belu step in with a seamless dance-driven set, deep from the UNTOLD Dubai circuit. Think crisp cuts, coastal house energy, and the kind of rhythm that feels right at home on open sand with salt on the breeze.
