Dubai’s beachscape is about to undergo a chic transformation as the eagerly awaited J1 Beach opens its doors this October. This new destination, set on the revamped La Mer South, promises a blend of sophistication and global influences with its impressive lineup of restaurants.

Leading the wave of openings is Gigi Rigolatto, a French Riviera-inspired beach club known for its elegant ambiance. Operated by the RIKAS Group in collaboration with Paris Society, this spot brings a slice of St. Tropez to Dubai. Guests can look forward to relaxing in beautifully landscaped gardens, lounging by the pool, and enjoying drinks at the Bellini bar. For families, the Gigi Circus kids club offers a playful and family-friendly vibe.

Alongside Gigi Rigolatto, Bâoli is another exciting addition to the J1 Beach experience. Originating from the glamorous shores of Cannes, Bâoli combines Mediterranean and East Asian flavors with an upscale twist. Managed by Sunset Hospitality Group, this venue will offer a vibrant setting for day-to-night dining and entertainment. Guests can unwind on the expansive outdoor terrace by day, then transition to a lively nightlife scene as the sun sets. Known for its upscale atmosphere and celebrity appeal, Bâoli promises a taste of the French Riviera with a Dubai twist.

J1 Beach will continue to roll out new dining experiences over the coming months, transforming the beachfront into a dynamic culinary hub. With additional venues like La Baia by the Beach and Ninive Beach set to join the lineup, the resort is poised to become a premier destination for both relaxation and fine dining in Dubai. Keep an eye out for more updates as J1 Beach welcomes visitors to a new era of beachside luxury.
