Brand new, on Hayat Island
Bar du Port is officially expanding its coastal footprint with the opening of BDP Beach Ras Al Khaimah, now open for reservations ahead of its debut on Sunday 8 February. Set on Hayat Island at Mina, the new venue marks the brand’s seventh outpost and its second beachside concept, following the original BDP Beach in Byblos, Lebanon.
If you’re familiar with Bar du Port’s Dubai Harbour hotspot, expect the same effortlessly chic Riviera energy, this time reimagined for Ras Al Khaimah’s calmer, postcard-worthy coastline.
Designed as an all-day destination, BDP Beach blends laid-back luxury with a subtle party pulse. Think plush sun loungers, white sand, sea views and a serene pool setting that eases from morning lounging into lively evenings as the sun dips.
The space features indoor-outdoor dining, making it equally suited to long lunches, sunset cocktails or late-night gatherings by the water.
Food is very much at the heart of the experience. Helmed by Brand Executive Chef Hadi Saroufim, the menu leans into Bar du Port’s signature French classics with global flair. Expect seafood-forward dishes, a fresh fish display, fire-baked pizzas and refined plates designed for sharing.
There’s also a dedicated Beach & Pool Menu for casual bites, featuring tartines, snacks and easy-going comfort dishes, all best enjoyed with one of the brand’s signature cocktails or a chilled bottle of rosé.
BDP Beach is rolling out a full programme of Riviera-inspired happenings. Highlights include BDP Sunsets from Sunday to Friday, Ladies’ Day ‘Entre Filles’ on Mondays, Live Band Thursdays, Rosé Piscine Fridays and a relaxed Riviera Lunch on Saturdays. A sun-drenched Brunch au Soleil is set to launch post-Ramadan.
With Ras Al Khaimah fast becoming the UAE’s go-to escape, BDP Beach arrives as a polished new reason to make the trip. It’s familiar enough for Bar du Port regulars, but fresh, breezy and perfectly placed for anyone craving a seaside scene without the Dubai crowds.
BDP Beach Ras Al Khaimah opens Sunday, 8 February. Reservations are now open.
