In need of a summer escape? Check out Gigi Rigolatto
If you're thinking of escaping to the Italian Riviera without catching a flight, Gigi Rigolatto has to be on your itinerary. Perched on the breezy stretch of J1 Beach, this luxurious spot offers long lunches, creative summer drinks and garden-like poolside lounging that make you forget about the weather. Cool off in the pool, soak up the sun from a private cabana with your favourite people, or ease into the warm waters of the sea. The drinks from Bellini Bar are served ice-cold and fast, just the thing one needs on a summer holiday. Want to spend your day lounging by the pool or unwinding at the beach? Opt for one of the venue's plush pool beds at Dhs400 or beach beds at Dhs300. Or maybe you want to go all out, the cabanas are perfect for a group looking to make the most of the day – priced at Dhs2,000 from Monday to Thursday and Dhs4,000 from Friday to Sunday, each includes a welcome platter to get things started. And as day fades into night, move indoors to a cosy, candlelit setting where the earthy atmosphere is brought to life by the curated soundtrack. Perfetto. The Italian Mediterranean dinner menu brings all the fresh flavours you want after a hot day. Expect seafood pastas, summery salads, grilled mains in dishes made for sharing and desserts that demand you stay for one more bite. However, the best part about this spot is that the terrace seating if fully enclosed and cooled during the sweltering summer so you can soak up the sea view comfortably from where you're perched.
