Waka promises a Polynesian poolside paradise in Ras Al Khaimah
This new restaurant is located within Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort.
Ras Al Khaimah has long been a go-to spot for UAE residents looking to hit reset. Whether it's a relaxing weekend staycation or a quick escape from city life, the emirate is known to deliver. And now, there's one more reason to make your way up north. Get ready to indulge in Polynesian cuisine at Waka.
Located within the recently opened Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort, Waka finds a scenic spot between Ras Al Khaimah's largest pool and the sea. This island-inspired retreat promises a memorable meal that's packed with fire and flavour for the ultimate Polynesian experience.
Waka translates to canoe, giving a nod to Polynesia's seafaring legacy, which represents exploration, sustainability and a connection with the ocean. And from the moment you walk in, you'll be whisked away to a journey of the senses. The design and decor feature influences from across the Polynesian archipelagos — with a bit of South and Central American flair. A mix of black and white woven rattan furnishings and drums doubling up as seats tie the space together – think Moana vibes all around.
As the sun sets, Waka's beach terrace comes alive with live music, fire dancers and Tiki-inspired cocktails to elevate the evening. A Cuban Duo sets the mood with their soulful sounds, followed by DJ Timo taking over the deck.
The menu at Waka takes you on a culinary cruise. Expect ceviches, seafood salads, and slow-roasted meats, including Roasted Seabass, Char-Grilled Octopus and Sticky Lamb Chops, to grab your tastebuds with flavour. Complimenting these dishes will be the cocktails, featuring the likes of Mai Tai, Margarita, Piña Colada and much more.
Waka promises a culinary journey in Ras Al Khaimah, blending Polynesian flavours with a unique dining atmosphere. So, if you're craving something fresh, this is the spot you won't want to miss.

10 of the best restaurants in Dubai that will make you feel like you're on holiday
When 'away' is just a table away… Summer is here. You want out but can't go far. You didn't book a flight. You stayed. But that doesn't mean you want to feel stuck. Maybe you're just a little homesick – for a pace, a place, a feeling. So you start choosing spots that feel slightly off the map – not literally, but figuratively. A little quieter, a little slower. That kind of energy where lunch turns into golden hour and 'one glass' becomes five. It's not Greece, or Italy, or Thailand, or Brazil – but it almost could be. You get the point. Here are 10 of the best restaurants in Dubai to go to when you want out, but you're staying in. Click through the gallery 3 of 12 If you love Greece, or never made it but think about going every summer, Sirene by GAIA is where you want to go for lunch, dinner, or even a long, beach day. It's all white stone, sun-faded neutrals, and just enough bougainvillea to feel like a postcard. The dips are the kind you keep digging bread into. The seafood looks like art and tastes even better. The pasta feels like it's been made at home, with love. And every table looks out to sea. Hands down, a ten out of ten kind of spot. Sirene by Gaia, J1 Beach, daily 10am to 1am. Tel: (0)4 834 0303. @sirene_dxb At Mirabelle, it's all blue waters, anchored boats, and that quiet kind of luxury you find along the Mediterranean. Set by the water at the new Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, it's the kind of place where a leisurely lunch easily flows into sunset drinks. Laid-back yet polished just right, Mirabelle almost makes you forget you're still in the city. Inspired by the Cote d'Azur, the vibe is quietly chic and relaxed, what's not to love? Mirabelle, ground floor, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, Jumeirah 3. Tel: 800 323232.

The setting is lush and inviting, with Mediterranean gardens, a serene pool, a private beach, and even a boutique. Inside, the restaurant is summery, lounge-y, with high red brick archways and stunning olive trees. If that sounds like your kind of vibe, Gigi captures the essence of Italian coastal living. Gigi Rigolatto, J1 Beach. Tel: (0)4 558 2067 @gigi_beach_dubai Hidden in a pocket of jungle-like calm, The Farm feels like it shouldn't exist in Dubai, but that's the charm.

The Farm, Al Barari, daily 7.30am to 10.30pm. Tel: (0)4 886 6223. Flamingo Room is luxury in the form of art, where rich, African-inspired design meets fine dining.

A solid choice for anyone craving this kind of scene. Flamingo Room by tashas, Jumeirah al Naseem, Madinat Jumeirah. 12pm to 4pm and 7pm to 1am daily. Tel:(0)4 244 7278.

Palestinian, Michelin-awarded Chef Salam Dakkak, who was also awarded Chef of the Year at the What's On Dubai Awards 2025 , brings passion, creativity, and skill to every dish. The food here is next level. If Levantine cuisine and the feeling of home are your vibe, Sufret Maryam should be at the top of your list. Sufret Maryam, Wasl 51, Jumeirah 1, Dubai. @sufretmaryam Tucked along the waterways of Madinat Jumeirah, Pai Thai is well worth the boat ride. Quiet yet atmospheric, it's a proper Thai spot that stays true to its roots, rich green curry, delicate dumplings, deep-fried prawns in red curry sauce, and mango sticky rice that's almost too pretty to eat. The setting hits the sweet spot: warm lighting, dark wood, and just enough buzz to feel alive. If you're craving Thai (and spicy) food in a holiday-like setting, Pai Thai is your scene. Pai Thai, Jumeirah Al Qasr. @paithaidubai Nobu needs no introduction. After 14 years at The Avenues in Atlantis The Palm, the world-famous Japanese hotspot has moved to an even more iconic location, right at the top of the resort on the 22nd floor. Taking over what was once The Royal Bridge Suite, the new space is bigger, sleeker, and comes with the ocean in full view. Think stunning sights of Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf, best enjoyed from the terrace with a plate of crispy rice and a perfectly mixed cocktail in hand.

Maison De La Plage sits right on the sand at Palm West Beach and has that effortless kind of beauty, soft linen tones, leafy palms, and a pool that almost glows. You can start your day stretched out on a daybed, order a glass of rose and crispy Calamri in the sun, and then wander inside for a lazy lunch of Lobster linguine or a crisp Nicoise. Chef Izu's behind it, so the food speaks for itself. It's relaxed, stylish, and hard to leave once you've settled in. Maison De La Plage, Palm West Beach, Palm Jumeirah, Tel: (0)4 452 3344. @maisondelaplage_ Located on the sixth floor of Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai, Tasca is a one-Michelin-starred gem from renowned Portuguese chef Jose Avillez.

7 minimal Bali-inspired cafes & restaurants to visit in Dubai this summer
Dubai may be a glittering metropolis of skyscrapers and desert dunes, but hidden within its urban sprawl are serene, sun-dappled sanctuaries that transport you straight to the breezy, boho-chic shores of Bali. These lush, laid-back havens, where rattan meets raw wood, and tropical foliage spills over every corner – offer more than just a meal; they deliver an escape. From beachfront dining under swaying palms to plant-based paradises tucked into secret gardens, here are the most enchanting Bali-inspired cafés and restaurants to visit in Dubai right now. BohoX View this post on Instagram A post shared by BohoX (@thebohox) For those who believe breakfast should be an all-day affair, BohoX is a dream realized. This airy, contemporary café, bathed in natural light and dotted with earthy textures, brings a slice of Bali's effortless charm to Downtown Dubai. Known for its organic, responsibly sourced ingredients, the menu is a love letter to wholesome indulgence, from handmade pastas to artisanal pizzas. But the true magic lies on its open terrace, where the skyline views rival the flavors on your plate. Whether you're sipping a turmeric latte at sunrise or lingering over dinner under the stars, BohoX is where slow living meets urban sophistication. Downtown Dubai, @thebohox KoKo Bay View this post on Instagram A post shared by KoKo Bay (@kokobayuae) If a barefoot-luxury beach day is what you crave, KoKo Bay delivers, with a side of craft cocktails and Far East–inspired flavors. This breezy, bamboo-clad sanctuary is pure Bali fantasy: think crochet hammocks, cane beach beds, and private cabanas framing uninterrupted views of the Gulf. By day, it's a sun-soaked retreat where you can graze on robata-grilled delicacies; by night, it transforms into a lantern-lit paradise, with the Dubai skyline as your backdrop. The interactive dining experience, complete with a live grill and Asian-European fusion dishes, makes every visit feel like a holiday within a holiday. Pearl Jumeirah, @kokobayuae Andaliman Dubai Step into Andaliman, and you'll forget you're in Dubai, this is Bali, via the bold, aromatic flavors of Indonesia. The restaurant's soulful interiors, draped in lush greenery and rich teakwood, evoke the spirit of a traditional warung (eatery), elevated for the modern gourmand. An open kitchen and coconut-husk grill set the stage for an immersive dining experience, where sambals are prepared tableside and every dish tells a story. By daylight, the space is a sunlit oasis; by evening, it hums with warmth and convivial energy. For a taste of the archipelago's culinary heritage, this is the place.

Hidden behind a quiet Jumeirah villa, the space feels like a secret garden: stone pathways, reclaimed wood furnishings, and the soothing scent of incense lingering in the air. The menu, a vibrant ode to conscious eating, keeps loyal patrons returning – think nourishing Buddha bowls, raw desserts, and golden lattes served under a canopy of leaves. With mantras humming in the background and a curated selection of books to peruse, SEVA is where time slows down, and every bite feels like self-care.

Whether you're here for a turmeric-spiked smoothie or a decadent vegan cheesecake, every dish is as Instagrammable as it is nourishing. Le Méridien Mina Seyahi, @bountybeets The Farm Restaurant Tucked within Al Barari's botanical wonderland, The Farm is Dubai's original green escape – a place where bamboo roofs, lily ponds, and emerald lawns make the desert feel worlds away. The menu, a fusion of European and Thai cuisine, champions seasonal, homegrown produce, from mushroom gratin to fluffy blueberry pancakes. Whether you're lounging on the sun-dappled terrace or wandering through the tropical gardens, this is dining as nature intended: serene, sustainable, and utterly sublime. Al Barari, @thefarm_dubai Comptoir 102 More than a café, Comptoir 102 is a lifestyle – a 70s-Californian-meets-Bali haven where organic eats, curated design, and effortless chic converge.
