Dubai’s vibrant beach club scene is welcoming a glamorous new addition as Gigi Rigolatto, the first venue at J1 Beach, opens its doors on Monday, October 14, 2024. Located on the former La Mer South site, J1 Beach is transforming into a premier lifestyle destination, with Gigi Rigolatto taking the spotlight as the debut venue, offering a slice of St Tropez right in the heart of Dubai.
A Taste of St Tropez
Inspired by its namesake in the French Riviera, Gigi Rigolatto is a concept created by Paris Society and operated by Dubai’s Rikas Group. Renowned Franco-Mexican architect Hugo Toro designed the space to bring the chic, refined vibe of St Tropez to Dubai’s sun-drenched shores. Gigi promises to blend the elegance of Italian culture with the lively, upscale atmosphere that has become synonymous with Dubai’s beach clubs.
Elegant Design & Luxurious Features
With space for up to 240 guests, Gigi Rigolatto offers 120 indoor seats and two expansive terraces, providing various settings for visitors to relax and unwind. Guests can sip cocktails at the Bellini Bar, lounge by the Instagrammable swimming pool, or opt for a more exclusive experience in one of the four private cabanas named after Italian islands: Ischia, Ponza, Capri, and Elba.
Culinary Excellence
Gigi Rigolatto’s menu highlights classic Italian cuisine, featuring seasonal ingredients from Tuscany to Puglia. The Bellini Bar is a standout feature, serving up the traditional peach Bellini alongside modern variations, maintaining a focus on the Italian aperitivo tradition.
J1 Beach: The Next Big Destination
Gigi Rigolatto is just the beginning for J1 Beach, with 12 more restaurants and beach clubs set to open, including Chouchou, Baoli, and LUNICO. This new destination promises to offer an unmatched lifestyle experience on Dubai’s pristine coastline.
Gigi Rigolatto combines sophistication, Italian charm, and the relaxed luxury that has made Dubai a global beach club capital.
