Five new Rikas & Paris Society beach clubs and restaurants are opening in Dubai
Rikas is set to become the leading operator of restaurants and beach clubs in the region, with exciting additions that will expand its portfolio to 23 unique venues by the end of 2024.
Marking the start of an exciting new era, Paris Society, a key player in the French hospitality industry, and RIKAS, one of Dubai’s most esteemed names in the culinary and lifestyle sector, have unified their operations in Dubai to collaborate on several upcoming openings under the guidance of Rizwan Kassim, the CEO & Founder of RIKAS Hospitality Group.
The F&B groups will combine resources and their immense talent pools from St Tropez, Paris, Dubai and upcoming International openings to create and curate truly unforgettable experiences across their venues.
Two new Paris Society openings stemming from the thrilling collaboration include:
Gigi Rigolatto
The renowned French brand by Paris Society will open its Beach House at J1 Beach in October 2024. Gigi will bring the La Dolce Vita spirit of St Tropez to life with a lush garden, private pool, and standout aperitivo menu. The venue also features a Bellini bar, Gigi Circus kid’s club, and a boutique, while the authentically Tuscan menu elevates the dining experience. The slogan “Alla Grande” perfectly captures the ambience awaiting guests at this vibrant new destination.
Maison Revka
Well-known in Paris and St Tropez, the Paris Society brand will make its Dubai debut at Bluewaters Dubai this November. Maison Revka embodies the perfect blend of Slavic soul and French elegance, offering a warm, familial atmosphere with inviting lounges. The refined menu captures the region’s rich flavours, with dishes ranging from hearty smoked salmon to reimagined pavlovas, each a flavourful exploration of Slavic culinary heritage. The venue also features a pool with cabanas and a boutique filled with fine foods and elegant household items.
Additional RIKAS openings include a diverse array of dining and lifestyle experiences, each meticulously crafted to cater to Dubai’s cosmopolitan palate:
Ninive Beach
Set to be Dubai’s first lively Middle East and North Africa-inspired beach club. Ninive Beach is scheduled to open in October 2024 at J1 Beach (formerly known as La Mer), blending cultural heritage with contemporary elegance. Offering a restaurant, bar, pool and beach access. The concept will blend tradition and innovation in a vibrant atmosphere, creating a truly seminal experience.
La Cantine Beach
Slated to open in October 2024 at Delano Dubai on Bluewaters Island, offering a restaurant, bar, beach and pool on a stunning open beachfront. Building on the legacy of La Cantine at Emirates Towers, this new beach venue will serve vibrant and fresh Mediterranean-inspired dishes designed to captivate a new generation of beachgoers and diners. The venue will also include a retail store for guests who want to take a little piece of La Cantine home.
Gohan
