Aviation Club

The Aviation Club in Dubai is a premier sports and leisure complex that opened in 1991 under the patronage of His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

It is located in the heart of Dubai and has evolved into a renowned destination offering a wide range of world-class recreational facilities. The club is best known for its centerpiece, the Aviation Club Tennis Centre, which includes the Dubai Tennis Stadium with a capacity of 5,000 spectators.

This stadium has hosted the prestigious Dubai Tennis Championships since 1996, attracting top international players and becoming one of the most celebrated tennis tournaments globally. The Tennis Centre was designed by Italian architects Mario and Luigi Donato and is part of a larger complex that includes several dining and entertainment venues such as the Irish Village and Century Village, which have become popular social hubs in Dubai.

The Aviation Club offers more than just tennis. Facilities include a 9-hole par-three golf course, squash courts, aerobics studios, gyms, saunas, plunge pools, massage rooms, a hairdressing salon, and multiple dining options designed to cater to both energetic workouts and relaxation.

The club has undergone several internal and external improvements to maintain its status as a leading leisure facility. Its strategic location and comprehensive offerings make it a key venue for sports, entertainment, and social events in Dubai. Managed by Dubai Duty Free, the club continues to expand and enhance its services, including plans for additional seating capacity at the tennis stadium to accommodate growing audiences.

The Aviation Club remains an iconic sports venue that blends elite athletic events with vibrant social and cultural experiences.
