A food hall is coming to the The Link at One&Only One Za'abeel
Culinara Social Dining is the newest food hall addition to The Link… A food hall will soon open at One&Only One Za'abeel – Culinara Social Dining is the latest addition to The Link's foodie offerings, and an interesting departure from the ethos of the venue so far. 3 of 12 The city has seen a number of popular celebrity chefs from around the world set up their Dubai outposts at what was one of the most hotly-anticipated dining destinations of last year. However, this new set of openings seems to be championing a more regional pool of culinary talent, with 12 curated, homegrown concepts filling the space. Among the list, we have, The Dish by Chef Sperxos, a modern taste of Greece, offering dishes like deconstructed lamb loin souvlaki and red-prawns orzo saganaki. Regional powerhouse Chef Reif Othman of Reif Kushiyaki and Hoe Lee Kow will be opening two concepts – SIO Ramen House, serving up slow simmered broths and inventive noodle dishes – and KONA Pizza House – a mish-mash of Japanese and Korean ingredients, put together with Italian tradition. Restauranteurs Javier de la Flor and Roberto Segura, who helms two hit food hall concepts and two cafe concepts in Dubai, are bringing Crudo Raw Tapas Bar, offering crudo and tapas with locally sourced ingredients. Seiran is all about Persian food, with a focus on charcoal-grilled meats, kebabs, stews and saffron rice, brought to you by veteran restaurateur Masoud Shafie. At Joumana's Table, brothers Khaled and Maleck Habib are serving food inspired by the memories of their childhood and their mother's treasured recipes, passed down through generations. Think slow-cooked stews, expertly chargrilled meats, and golden mezze. Nette is already a Dubai favourite, and is bringing a touch of wellness with a French-Japanese menu rooted in susbtainability. The Coffee Lab, led by founder Osama Belshalat, is all about coffee and offers expertly roasted speciality coffee, pastries and signature drinks like Spanish cortado and coconut latte. HighBall is the stylish central bar from local hospitality team Tactile Food Group. The innovative menu features house-made infusions, low-ABV selections, and drink collaborations with fellow concepts at The Link. A little different from the dining concepts, there is ITALTOUCH, a gourmet grocery store by Massimo Vidoni, where guests can shop a range of Italian truffles, artisanal oils, sauces, cheeses, and sustainable caviar, while enjoying indulgent in-store tastings, such as caviar with blinis and crème fraîche. African + Eastern will also have a store, offering fine wines and premium spirits. Besides the resident concepts, the venue is also offering a calendar of events with themed nights and guest chef appearances. More concepts are yet to be announced, so stay tuned for that. The hall itself is set to open this May, 2025. @culinaradubai Images: Supplied > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

UAE: The most coveted luxury homes in DUbai, Abu Dhabi in 2025
The UAE has become one of the world's most sought-after luxury property destinations for the world's millionaires. KT LUXE sat down with specialist investor Idan Doodman to get insights on what's catching the attention of the rich and famous, and his tips on where those who are in the know are buying next. 'Most of these are being bought by savvy investors, who will in a few years flip them,' said Doodman, who works independently with high-net-worth investors both from inside and outside the UAE. 'There are some amazing developments coming up that are already getting a lot of attention, things we know will have a high return on investment (ROI). 'In the global property market, Dubai has one of the highest ROIs. So, it continues to be a destination for investment for many nationalities who have money to invest.' Doodman says that the 2025 market prioritises exclusive communities, personalised, bespoke luxury, and networking-friendly environments over ostentatious wealth. 'Prime addresses now incorporate a concept known to designers as 'collision spaces', carefully curated areas fostering organic connections among business leaders, creatives, and investors,' Doodman explained. 'But ultimately, Dubai remains a magnet for entrepreneurial wealth, while Abu Dhabi appeals to cultural elites seeking prestige and artistic integration into areas such as Saadiyat Island, which has become a huge draw as a cultural centre,' he added. Existing developments One&Only One Za'abeel Private Homes (Dh15-60m) This development was officially launched as a ready-to-move-in property in February 2024. The location (near DIFC) and developer are premium, and the highlight is the Japanese architectural firm Nikken Sekkei, which has raised design to another level. This combined use of commercial and residential space is unique. The building has stunning leisure facilities, and the prices can go up to as much as Dh60 million for the penthouse. Another interesting titbit about these buildings is — landlords and investors had the opportunity to buy off plan and those who chose to earned about 100 per cent or even more ROI on it. For someone buying off plan four years ago, the ROI is one of the highest in Dubai, close to Atlantis The Royal Residences, making it a very sought-after address. The development boasts 94 homes, private elevators, 4.5m ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Residents enjoy the One&Only resort amenities, including The Link, a sky-high Michelin-starred dining and infinity pool experience. Off-plan developments Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina (Dh8-40m |Q4 2028) Reaching 122 floors, Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina takes the crown as the world's tallest residential-only tower. The concept centres on wellness. It's a luxury wellness sanctuary blending biophilic design, air purification, and holistic health programmes. Designed for high-net-worth individuals and wellness entrepreneurs, it offers state-of-the-art amenities, spa retreats, and curated health experiences, redefining sustainable luxury living. Facilities such as a rooftop pool and spa make daily life feel like a luxe getaway. People are already talking about a 100 per cent ROI. Jumeirah The Rings (Dh59-69m |Q4 2025) With circular towers that have 180-degree sea views, sky gardens, and a 360-degree rooftop infinity pool, this project is a magnet for design enthusiasts and architectural visionaries. It will employ a unique building style in Jumeirah 1, and it will stand out. The location is close to the beach with views of the park, and sea. Some balconies have pools. Designed by world-renowned Foster + Partners, the common areas have floor-to-ceiling glass that showcase expansive views. The prices are high even for Dubai, with style and design being a huge part of the appeal here in one of the city's most upmarket addresses. Six-bedroom duplexes are now selling for Dh70 million, each with their own pool. It's like something out of a movie set for the ultra-rich. Ellington Villa Collection (Dh25-50m |Q1 2027) Canadian brand Ellington has become one of the country's top five developers. The design of its projects is different from other developers, more smooth, clean. It's obviously slick, well designed, and with specific colour schemes. The firm that at first concentrates on residential buildings is now launching a villa project. These bespoke villas focus on artisanal craftsmanship and circadian lighting, and the development is attracting creative professionals and luxury connoisseurs. The homes range between 6,000 square feet and 8,000 square feet, with four to six bedrooms. One thing people like with this development is that you need to bring very little along as its units are all equipped with electrical appliances in the kitchen. Located near Tilal Al Ghaf, it will be a fast-growing part of the city. The Oasis by Emaar, Lagoon Views (Dh9.7-30m |Q2 2029) Anyone who visits Dubai knows Emaar can see how it has expanded over the years. Emaar is known for its great facilities and high quality. This innovative waterfront community with artificial lagoons, outdoor kitchens, and temperature-controlled lounges is designed for high-profile investors who value sustainability and networking. Emaar was the first to build these kinds of communities and the company does it the best. This oasis is going to be marketed as the most premium gated community in the firm's portfolio. The location is near Tilal Al Ghaf. Wealthy families will flock here, attracted to the custom-built facilities and design. Foreign investors will love this. It's close to Dubai South, which is becoming a hub for business and is situated next to the upcoming airport. The big lagoons will also set this space apart. You can plan activities there, such as picnics on the sand banks. It creates the feeling of being close to nature, which is what takes it to another level and offers a unique lifestyle opportunity. Murjan Al Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi (Dh20-40m |June 2025) These beachfront villas on Saadiyat Island blend cultural sophistication with sustainability. Close to Louvre Abu Dhabi and Guggenheim, the area is attracting art collectors and cultural leaders. Here, you can feel nature, and you feel that it's different from anything else in the Emirates, like an urban haven. The developers have created a high-end group of villas within a gated community. It's safe and secure and has ocean views and white sands, a real privilege of being in that area. Though it's not close to the centre of the city, it gives a feeling of resort living. The prices can go up to Dh35-40 million, high if you're talking about the Abu Dhabi market, which is considered to be more economical than Dubai's realty. Tilal Al Ghaf Mansions (Dh20-50m | Q2 2025) This is a gated community inside a gated community, so residents have all the privilege of this high luxury bubble on the Tilal Al Ghaf lagoon. Offering exclusive inland luxury with private beach access, homes have features including 7m ceilings, and biometric security. It is a top choice for business leaders seeking personalised architectural design by the best architects. From five bedrooms to seven and with size from 10,000 square feet to 17,000 square feet, it will be aimed at the wealthy family market. These are massive properties and most of the villas have been sold, but there are a lot more that will be available this year. * Note: prices and dates are correct as of date of publication but are subject to change.

Hotel Review: One&Only One Za'abeel Resort, Dubai
A vertical resort in a vertical skyscraper: One&Only One Za'abeel It's a name with a lot of nerve: One&Only—as if all other hotels are simply beside the point. Given that it's been years since I sampled the brand, I decided to put that boastful name to the test by checking into the property's newest Dubai opening, One&Only One Za'abeel. Dubbing itself an urban, vertical resort, the 178-room and 51-suite hotel certainly makes quite the entrance to the Dubai skyline—no easy feat, considering the grandiosity that is the Dubai skyline. Behold 'The Link': billed as a 'boulevard in the sky,' the world's longest cantilever, an 8500-ton steel structure hanging as if by magic between the two skyscrapers of One Za'abeel. Picture a structure taller than Seattle's Space Needle perched sideways in the clouds—a horizontal skyscraper: only in Dubai. Inside it is a food hall like you've never seen before, with eight open kitchens and more options than anyone knows what to do with. Many worlds in one: Indonesia-in-Dubai at Andaliman The architecture makes for quite the scene—and to match it, a stay at One&Only One Za'abeel is quite the experience. Here's why. Skyline suite SLEEP Talk about a palace in the sky: my plush room on the 50th floor gave wraparound views for days, with a shower the size of a house and a tub that had me feeling as if I were floating above the futuristic horizon. The boon is in the details: Each night I found a designer silk eye mask and herbal pillow spray left beside my bed; the custom-made made lotion and hand wash by Montroi smelled divine—a signature scent called Al Sama that saturated the property. Just being in my suite was an experience of serenity and luxury. Indonesian delights at Andaliman EAT The 'vertical resort' concept translates to stepping off many elevators into myriad worlds, and the culinary experience is at the heart of it all. On the spectacular rooftop pool deck—more on this later—you land in Japan: Tapesake gives legendary Nobu a run for its money with delights like Wagyu Gyoza, braised short ribs with citrus garlic oil and, my favorite, a seafood stone pot in which fish, prawns and calamari cooked before my eyes. The Garden floor—underneath The Link, an imposing sight from down below—is Southeast Asia, with the superb Andaliman serving Indonesian cuisine: Rengginang tuna & crab with rice crackers; Udang grilled prawns with pickled pineapple; Es Tung-Tung coconut and black rice ice cream with caramel popcorn. Find France on the 27th floor at La Dame de Pic, helmed by Chef Anne-Sophie Pic. I ordered a cocktail made with Campari, sweet vermouth and lavender, then savored the scallops with celeriac sake and coconut foam; for desert, the 'cheese creation' was ice cream-flavored cheese—or was it the other way around? I welcomed the tasty whimsy. Finally, although the StreetXO is primarily meant to transport you to Spain—it's the creation of Spanish chef Dabiz Muñoz, from Madrid StreetXO—I knew I was in for more than that when I walked through the cavernous, graffiti-covered entrance and spotted waiters wearing uniforms inspired by straightjackets. The mashup of cuisines here certainly borders on madness—but it's a delectable madness: salmon Mediterranean aguachile, Thai cold soba sashimi, Nigiri croquetas—yes, that's sushi-style fish served on Spanish croquetas instead of rice—and the best menu name of all: 'lobster awakens on the Goa coast,' which involves curry, lobster, and lots of fun. A mirage? Views from the pool deck atop The Link SWIM Back to that spectacular pool deck: Dubai loves a superlative, and One&Only One Za'abeel is home to the UAE's longest infinity pool, on the top deck of The Link. It's a respite in the sky with the ultimate Dubai view, which I took in while sipping a 'Japanese Mary,' made with clarified tomato sauce and Togarashi. For contrast, down below is the Garden Pool, which beckons with a whole other vibe: Palm trees, dark wood and rose-tinted, Batik-style cushions evoke the Asian tropics. Longevity Hub by Clinique la Prairie BE WELL Don't call it a spa—it's a wellness clinic. To be precise, the world's first (there's that Dubai superlative again!) Longevity Hub by Clinique la Prairie, featuring 29 treatment rooms for wellbeing and clinical therapies. I booked a session with a longevity coach and therapist, the obscenely attractive and very knowledgable Alejandro, who plugged me into various high-tech machines that read everything from my body fat to the metals in my body, producing a full assessment of my 'longevity index,' which—phew!—was pretty strong. Then I had a divine 60-minute massage that, without a doubt, increased said longevity index astronomically—as did my entire brief stay at One&Only One Za'abeel.
