Dubai is once again going big in the tourism game, quite literally, with the upcoming launch of the world’s largest beach club, Sirene by GAIA, set to open in December 2024.
Spanning a staggering 9,000 square metres, this vibrant new hotspot will feature a restaurant that can accommodate 400 diners, alongside a picturesque beachfront boasting a stunning swimming pool, 300 sunbeds, and luxurious cabanas.
Inspired by the enchanting Sirenes of Greek mythology, Sirene by GAIA promises to be a feast for the senses, blending beauty and music in a delightful seaside setting.
Chef Izu Ani, a renowned expert in Mediterranean cuisine, aims to create a menu that embodies the authentic flavours of Greece. He envisions the restaurant as a haven where guests can escape the fast pace of life and enjoy a relaxing day, as if they were on holiday, even if just for a few hours.
Nestled within the newly developed J1 Beach in Jumeirah, this beach club is just one piece of the puzzle in Dubai’s ambitious plan to transform its beachfront dining scene. With 10 restaurants and three beach clubs, J1 Beach is shaping up to be a foodie’s paradise.
