Can't wait to get to the Mediterranean this summer? Elaia has you covered
It's that time of year when your Insta is flooded with friends basking in the sun somewhere between Mykonos and Mallorca.
If you're after a Med getaway without catching a flight, make a beeline for Elaia at Pier 7 in Dubai Marina.
The fresh-faced Mediterranean bistro gives proper holiday vibes with sun-soaked interiors and delicious food.
Brought to you by the hospitality powerhouse Infini Concepts, Elaia is Dubai's answer to a European summer. It's all about golden olive oil drizzles, zesty seafood and sharing plates that feel like they belong on a terrace in Santorini.
Whether you're here for a long lunch or an early dinner with the Dubai skyline sparkling behind you, the energy is easy and familiar, like a favourite holiday spot you keep going back to.
Elaia has that elusive 'holiday-mode' feel down to an art.
If the food doesn't make you feel like it, the breezy whitewashed walls and blue accents, to the buzz of conversation, will. And the best part is that the pricing will not burn a hole in your pocket.
Dining offers to grab ASAP
For weekday lunches, the Mediterranean Lunch Escape is an absolute steal. Running from Monday to Friday from noon to 3pm, it offers a starter, a main and a small bottle of water for Dhs99. You can tack on dessert for Dhs20 or a glass of grape for Dhs25 to Dhs30, if you're planning to ease into the afternoon.
On Tuesday evenings, the Elaia's Ladies' Night offers two starters and two glasses of grape for Dhs99 from 6pm to 11pm – perfect for catching up with your favourite person over food you won't want to share.
Then there's Pizza Between Us, where Sundays from 5pm to 8pm mean 50 percent off all pizzas. A great excuse to take it easy before the workweek kicks off.
Sunset Hours make midweek Marina visits feel like a mini escape, running Monday to Friday from 5pm to 8pm. Expect mixed drinks for Dhs35, house beverages for Dhs29, and glasses of grape for Dhs29 too.
And for those who love grape, there's an offer to check out on Fridays. From noon to 8pm, you can snag a glass or a bottle at discounted rates.
Ready to enter a Mediterranean state of mind? You know we are.
