Bâoli Dubai: Beah Club
Bâoli Dubai: The Riviera Spirit Finds Its Place in the Desert
For those who’ve summered on the Côte d’Azur, Bâoli needs no introduction. Born in Cannes and beloved by the international jet set, this legendary French-Asian restaurant and lounge has long been synonymous with barefoot glamour, Champagne-fuelled afternoons, and nights that seamlessly slip into sunrise. Now, the iconic name has found its Middle Eastern home at Dubai’s glittering J1 Beach and it’s every bit as seductive as its Riviera counterpart.
At the heart of Bâoli Dubai lies a vast, crescent-shaped pool that gleams like liquid glass beneath the Arabian sun. Here, the rhythm of the day builds with effortless sophistication, from tranquil morning dips to a late-afternoon soundtrack of softly pulsing house beats. Towering palms frame the poolside scene, where tanned guests recline on plush daybeds, sip chilled rosé, and lose all sense of time.
Those seeking indulgence can take their pick from an array of private sanctuaries, from elegant Pool Gazebos to floating Pool Islands and the ultra-exclusive Pool Suites, complete with direct water access. Each setting offers an experience tailored to pure leisure and refinement, complemented by attentive service and the discreet buzz of Dubai’s most fashionable crowd.
The Sundeck is the ideal spot for long, languid lunches or sundowners with friends. Expect poolside favourites elevated to perfection, think sliders, sushi, and indulgent Wagyu sandos. Inside, Chef Omar Basiony curates a culinary journey that bridges the Mediterranean and Asia with striking finesse. The menu’s highlights, from the jewel-toned tomato carpaccio to the crispy chicken karaage with tangy tiger sauce re a testament to Bâoli’sphilosophy: cuisine as an art of seduction.
Day to Night
Come evening, the energy shifts seamlessly from serenity to sophistication. The restaurant’s indoor-outdoor design blurs the boundaries between dining and lounging, while the soft glow of candlelight and the allure of fine wine set the mood for indulgent nights beneath the Dubai stars.
Two Prada boutiques on-site hint at the clientele you’ll find here, impeccably dressed, effortlessly elegant, and often familiar faces from the worlds of fashion, film, and beyond. It’s a place to see and be seen, yet never feels hurried, a rare blend of hedonism and harmony.
For a day of refined relaxation or an evening steeped in coastal glamour, Bâoli Dubai captures the essence of modern luxury: sensual, social, and irresistibly chic.
