Top 8 Places To Eat At the New J1 Beach in Dubai
With three world-renowned beach clubs and 10 cuisine-crossing restaurants, J1 Beach is looking like the place to be this summer.
Soon to be a paradise for all of Dubai’s sun-loving gourmands, J1 Beach is set to open later this year, bringing the spirit of the Italian Riviera to half a kilometre of the Emirate’s glorious golden coastline.
Many of us were saddened by the loss of Dubai’s beloved ‘La Mer’, bemoaning what we would do without that special stretch of sweet sunkissed shoreline. Catering to those of us on the lookout for a new summer hotspot and promising to rid us of torrential rains and chilly gusts of wind, J1 Beach is bringing its A-game with three beach clubs and 10 restaurants to delight even the most demanding of Dubai’s denizens.
Internationally-acclaimed beach clubs Bâoli, Gigi Rigolatto and Sirene Beach will offer up pools, sun loungers and beach access galore for all those who just can’t get enough of the sea breeze, the lapping waves and the sun’s rays.
And when your stomachs call for sumptuous long lunches or decadent dinner experiences, an eclectic mix of cuisines from J1 Beach’s restaurants is sure to leave no palette wanting more.
