There's a new Italian café in Abu Dhabi and it's impossibly chic
There's a new reason to visit Saadiyat Island (as if we needed one) and it smells like espresso and tastes like la dolce vita. Café Ginori has officially opened at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, and it's nothing short of a love letter to Italian elegance, fine craftsmanship and timeless style. This isn't your average café. As soon as you step into Café Ginori, you can expect to enjoy a fully immersive experience that pays tribute to the incredible heritage of Ginori 1735 porcelain (yes, that's almost 300 years of history), housed within one of Abu Dhabi's most iconic luxury resorts. Designed with flair and a dash of whimsy, the space is decked out with bold elements from Ginori's Domus home décor line. We're talking vibrant Oriente Italiano wallpaper, plush bespoke cushions, and beautiful custom-designed seating. It's a visual feast even before the food arrives so make sure you come ready to take some snaps. Speaking of food, the menu is a standout. Curated by the café's so-called 'Master of Plating' (yes, really), it's a modern ode to Italian classics. Expect artisanal pastries, vibrant antipasti, and really good espresso. Each dish is as beautiful as it is delicious, so prepare to be fed and wowed. Whether you're popping in for a quick cappuccino or lingering over a long, luxurious brunch, this spot is all about capturing the spirit of allegria – that uniquely Italian joy of life, flavour and design. So next time you find yourself on Saadiyat Island, make a detour to Café Ginori. It's where Mediterranean café culture meets St. Regis glamour – with a generous swirl of porcelain charm. If you need a refresher on The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, this a 5-star hotel on the shores of Saadiyat Island with 376 guest rooms. The resort offers three outdoor pools and a 25-meter indoor lap pool at The St. Regis Athletic Club.

Post Views: 30 Clédor has officially launched Arthouse Residences Al Marjan Island, a distinctive branded residential project in collaboration with Arthouse Hotel NYC and Prospect. Valued at AED 400 million, this exclusive development is the first-ever Arthouse-branded residential project outside of the U.S. and is set to redefine cultural luxury living in the UAE. The launch was held to a full-house of investors, brokers and VIPs, following the successful signing ceremony held in Dubai in April. This marks a bold new chapter in Clédor's mission to deliver design driven, globally inspired, branded living experiences to the UAE. 'Following our landmark signing, we are proud to officially showcase the Arthouse Residences Al Marjan Island – an iconic project that celebrates creativity, individuality, and timeless design,' said Omar Gull, Founder of Clédor. 'This is not just a real estate development; it's a lifestyle statement shaped by iconic architecture and design. With a stunning rooftop infinity pool and a private beach club integrated into the masterplan, the development embodies the essence of artistic luxury. Our goal is to offer something unique: a culturally rich, aesthetically elevated living experience that speaks to both local sensibilities and international aspirations.' Strategically located on the iconic Al Marjan Island, the development offers a seamless blend of modern design and lifestyle-focused amenities curated for residents who value sophistication and cultural depth. With a handover scheduled for Q1 2028 and prices starting under a million dirhams, the project is poised to attract both end-users and global investors seeking a refined and differentiated address in Ras Al Khaimah's growing luxury landscape. Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan, added: 'The exquisite mix of fascinating nature and well-preserved history of Ras Al Khaimah has made Al Marjan Island a magnet for iconic developments and international brands. The launch of Arthouse Residences reinforces our commitment to elevating the island into a world-class destination that offers unmatched lifestyle experiences. We are delighted to welcome a brand like Arthouse, which adds cultural richness, design excellence, and global prestige to our master-planned community.' The project introduces 201 meticulously designed residences to Al Marjan Island, ranging from studios to one-bedroom apartments and unique one-bedroom duplexes, as well as 4 F&B-focused retail units — all brought to life with the signature character and refined aesthetic of the century-old Arthouse Hotel on NYC's Upper West Side. Prices start from AED 925,000 offering world-class amenities designed for modern lifestyles. Residents will enjoy an extensive array of thoughtfully designed amenities, including: ● An infinity pool (with separate adult and children's areas) ● Full-service spa with steam and sauna rooms ● Paddle court and outdoor adult-sized chess board ● Indoor cinema ● Sunken conversation pit and co-working spaces ● State-of-the-art gym and children's playground This launch marks another significant milestone in Clédor's rapidly expanding portfolio, which has exceeded AED 2.25 billion in value for their development pipeline across key UAE destinations, including Ras Al Khaimah and Dubai. The project is exclusively marketed and sold by Prospect, a strategic investment and real estate consultancy firm. 'This collaboration with Clédor and Arthouse NYC marks a defining moment for Prospect. Arthouse Residences Al Marjan Island brings global sophistication and artistic heritage to one of the UAE's most visionary destinations. It's more than a branded residence—it's a cultural landmark and a long-term value proposition. For Prospect, leading the sales and investment strategy for a development of this calibre reinforces our position as a trusted partner in high-impact, design-led real estate. It also reflects our commitment to shaping the next era of luxury living in Ras Al Khaimah and beyond,' said Rajat Verma, Co-founder of Prospect. With a proven legacy in hospitality, heritage appeal and design-first philosophy, Arthouse Hotel NYC promises to bring a branded residential offering with a difference —delivering a one-of-its-kind lifestyle and investment opportunity for Al Marjan Island.

The Summer Watch That's Setting the Tone
A sun-drenched statement in orange and blue, Hublot's latest timepiece brings summer — and 20 years of the Big Bang — to your wrist There are certain moments that signal the start of summer. The first golden light through your sunglasses; the gentle rhythm of waves against the shore. And now, the arrival of Hublot 's Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 – a watch created to reflect the season in full colour. Unveiled on the sun-soaked shores of Mykonos, the timepiece debuted against a backdrop of sea, celebration and style. Olympic legend Usain Bolt and DJ Mattia Vitale of Meduza were among those in attendance, but all eyes were on the watch. Cloaked in radiant orange and Mediterranean blue, it channels the spirit of the season – vivid, elegant and made for a life lived in the sun. Hublot has long embraced the beauty of contrast. The Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 is crafted from high-tech ceramic, known for its lightness and durability, yet shaped with a sense of softness and finesse. The orange case recalls the warmth of golden hour, while the sky-blue bezel reflects the calm of a coastal afternoon. With Hublot's One-Click strap system, three interchangeable rubber straps in coordinating tones allow for effortless transitions – whether you're by the pool or on the move. Beneath the surface, the watch is powered by the in-house Unico movement, visible through an openworked dial. The flyback chronograph features a 72-hour power reserve and a refined structure that balances engineering with elegance. This year marks two decades since the launch of the Big Bang collection. From its original debut in 2005 to this latest summer edition, the design has evolved while remaining true to its bold, expressive identity. And with the Big Bang Unico Summer 2025, Hublot continues to define time through colour, craft and clarity of vision, resulting in a seasonal statement that shines bright precisely when it should.
