A truly romantic spot, Laguna Lounge on Palm Jumeirah whisks guests to not just the French Riviera but also ancient Greece. The relaxed Mediterranean vibe is sure to put you at ease as you sip, swim and snack by the water. Pergolas, pagodas and palm trees set the scene for an utterly tranquil evening of dining and dancing. Expect premium cocktails, alfresco dining, live DJs, shisha, VIP cabins and more at this beach lounge like no other.
Dining at Laguna Lounge, as with any Sofitel establishment, is an elegant affair. Sushi is the perfect starter after a day in the sun, so tuck in to sashimi platters and rolls featuring fresh fish, roe and vegetables, along with sauces like Japanese mayo. Alternatively, start with some sharing plates from around the world and the Middle East, such as crudites, baked feta with olives and grilled baby squid with sumac and lemon oil. For something more Italian, try the beef carpaccio with rocket and parmesan or burrata with marinated vine tomatoes, olive crumbs, black figs and pine nuts.
Moving to the grill, you'll see all the usual delights, such as grilled octopus, lamb souvlaki and grilled U5 prawns with heirloom tomatoes, smoked paprika and mint sauce. Mains are substantial, including a kilo cote de boeuf, wood-fired whole seabass and charred boneless sea bream. Lighter desserts feature the likes of summer fruits or greek yoghurt with strawberry and mint, while a more decadent option might be a chocolate mousse with hazelnut praline, topped with 22 karat gold to make your meal extra special.
Once you've finished your delicious meal at Laguna Lounge, put on your dancing shoes for the live DJs. The vibrant music will get you moving until the early hours, with shisha on hand for those who enjoy it after dinner.
