The loyalty programme allows members to earn and redeem points across 34 residential communities, 12 malls and community centres, 12 hotels, eight schools, three golf courses, five beaches and parks, 20 spas and gyms, 16 entertainment attractions and over 750 retail stores and restaurants. It also offers members rewards at world-class theme parks including Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld and Warner Bros. World™ Abu Dhabi.

 As the largest real estate developer and manager in Abu Dhabi, Aldar’s broad offering enables Darna members to earn points against a given service yet redeem them anywhere they like within the company’s portfolio as well as with select partners.
