Sshhh! Have you heard about Palm Jumeirah's first speakeasy?
You know how it goes, you are on a night out and don't want it to end. Also, you want something a bit fancy and under the radar.
Enter La Sombra, Palm Jumeirah's first speakeasy found at Maison de la Plage.
A place for those in the know, it's a one-of-a-kind secret club that's sophisticated AF.
Perfect for IG snaps, the space is filled with rich wood, soft lighting, and lush botanical touches. Total old money vibes thanks to its elegance of the 1940s and 50s, where French sophistication merges with modern beats of house, jazz, and Latin music.
Us girlies love a cocktail and La Sombra doesn't disappoint. Each cocktail is a story, inspired by places and moments that evoke a sense of discovery.
From El Spirit del Campo, inspired by Andean villages, to Hidden Glow, a tribute to ancient forests, every sip transports guests to new landscapes.
For those seeking warmth and depth, Nostalgia blends whiskey, chestnut, and chocolate bitters, capturing the comfort of a fireside evening.
La Sombra is a hidden oasis for those who seek cultural immersion, late-night revelry, and the art of fine mixology (aka the cities IT-girls).

ANAX Developments brings ELLE's first residential project to Middle East, its second globally
Landmark exclusive residential project set to launch on Dubai Islands Following the success of its first residential tower in Miami, the acclaimed fashion and lifestyle brand ELLE, owned by the French Lagardère Group, is set to make its Middle East debut with an exclusive residential project on Dubai Islands. At an official signing ceremony, Satish Sanpal, Chairman of ANAX Holding and François Coruzzi, CEO of ELLE International Licences / Lagardère Group, formalised a strategic partnership to launch ELLE's first branded residential project in the UAE. Developed by ANAX Developments under a licensing agreement with Lagardère News (an entity of the Lagardère Group), ELLE Residences Dubai Islands will become a new architectural and cultural landmark. The project will be brought to life by global design experts The One Atelier, renowned for their work on luxury residences for brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld, and Fendi Casa. Co-creative direction will be led by ARQUINAUT, the international design studio that created the original ELLE Residences concept and will oversee both architecture and interiors. This strategic partnership with ANAX Developments represents a thoughtful synergy for ELLE, aligning with a UAE-based partner that is both highly regarded and well-versed in the local real estate landscape. As one of Dubai's most agile and design-forward developers, ANAX brings deep local market expertise, a proven track record in luxury development, and a shared commitment to innovation and quality. For ELLE, this collaboration ensures that its first branded residence in the Middle East is anchored by a partner who understands both the cultural nuances and high expectations of the region's discerning buyers. Together, the two entities will deliver a project that not only upholds ELLE's global standards of style and sophistication but also resonates authentically within Dubai's fast-evolving luxury lifestyle ecosystem. Situated in one of Dubai's most ambitious waterfront developments, the project embodies the ELLE brand's signature blend of style, individuality, and cultural sophistication. Residents will enjoy a lifestyle rooted in contemporary design, well-being, and a deep connection to the vibrant surroundings of the Arabian Gulf. "We're thrilled to bring ELLE's iconic lifestyle to Dubai through our partnership for ELLE Residences on Dubai Islands," said Sanpal said. "Dubai, a city synonymous with innovation, design, and global appeal, is the perfect setting for this bold new venture. This project will be a defining expression of purposeful, joyful living that reflects the essence of ELLE." Constance Benqué, CEO of ELLE International and Lagardère News, added: "ELLE's legacy of innovation continues to define our journey, and with this next chapter, we're proud to bring the brand's style to Middle Eastern living for the first time in dynamic Dubai, one of the growing premier markets for branded residences. We're excited to unveil ELLE Residences Dubai Islands in collaboration with our esteemed partners. Blending timeless French flair with Dubai's bold energy, this second project marks a dynamic evolution - an immersive concept that invites residents to experience a unique and elevated place to call home. It reflects the forward-thinking lens of ELLE and delivers a refined lifestyle infused with joie de vivre." The One Atelier, a leader in translating luxury brands into built environments, and ARQUINAUT, ELLE's official architectural partner, will lead the execution of the project. Their collaborative design approach will integrate ELLE's global aesthetic with local inspiration to craft a distinctive residential narrative. "With ELLE Residences Dubai Islands, we are working closely with the brand to craft a concept that channels ELLE's Parisian sensibility through the lens of Dubai's dynamic lifestyle," said Michele Galli, CEO of The One Atelier. "This is a rare opportunity to create a project that resonates emotionally and culturally with a global audience." Residents will benefit from expertly curated interiors, elevated wellness offerings, vibrant social and dining spaces, and a seamless integration of fashion with functional design. Located on the exclusive Dubai Islands, the project offers prime beachfront access, proximity to cultural and retail hubs, and sweeping views of Dubai's iconic skyline. Driving the global marketing strategy and rollout for this landmark collaboration will be PIXL Global - a full-service marketing agency focused on off-plan real estate and branded residential developments across the Middle East, UK, and US markets. "ELLE Residences Dubai Islands by ANAX is a collaboration that will create enhanced value for both channel partners and investors alike. It's a delight to work with two entities that have great credibility, design thinking, and, most importantly, the integrity to deliver," said Imran Khan, founder and CEO of PIXL Global. In a celebratory moment during the event, ANAX also announced a "Model Hunt" to discover the "Face of ANAX" - who will be featured on a unique campaign that will run until the official launch of ELLE Residences Dubai Islands. ELLE Residences Dubai Islands represents the latest evolution of ELLE's growing lifestyle portfolio. Further details, including sales timelines and unit configurations, will be announced in the coming months.
