Sofitel Dubai The Palm hotel unveils new beach club concept

Launching in the UAE's competitive beach club market, Laguna Beach Taverna & Lounge is now open 

Sofitel Dubai The Palm's new beach club concept opened this month (November 2022), entering Dubai's highly competitive beach club market. The launch follows the opening of Mediterranean-inspired boho-chic Laguna Lounge earlier this year. 

The revamped venue sees the unveiling of Laguna Beach Taverna, a rustic-luxe open-air restaurant offering Greek-Mediterranean cuisine, forming the new-look Laguna Beach Taverna & Lounge. 

Deluxe day beds have also been added to the beachfront, offering sun worshippers appealing views of Palm Jumeirah. 


Commenting on the design, Laguna representative said: "Hand-loomed jute rugs adorn the sand floor, delicate rattan pendants hang from the rafters, driftwood sculptures decorate the tables, and artisan terra cotta planters hold lush green foliage. Fabrics are crisp and clean, with a focus on natural fibers in sun bleached whites and sandy beige tones. In the main dining area flowing drapes create an animated ceiling, with the canopy moving in sync with the wind to create ripples that resemble waves on the beach."
