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. One Za'abeel, @andalimandubai SEVA Table View this post on Instagram A post shared by SEVA Table (@sevatable) A sanctuary for the senses, SEVA Table isn't just Dubai's first 100% plant-based café – it's a verdant escape where wellness and wanderlust collide. 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. Jumeirah 1, @sevatable Bounty Beets View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bounty Beets (@bountybeets) A celebration of color, community, and clean eating, Bounty Beets brings Bali's farm-to-table ethos to Dubai Marina. The newly renovated garden, a wild, whimsical sprawl of greenery, mud kitchens, and even a dog-friendly play area – feels like a tropical hideaway. The menu, entirely gluten-free and bursting with plant-based creativity, takes inspiration from global flavors, all crafted with locally sourced ingredients. 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. The brainchild of Parisian tastemaker Emma, this Jumeirah gem is part concept store, part wellness café, with a sunlit garden that feels like a friend's private oasis. The menu, entirely organic and gluten-free, is a masterclass in mindful indulgence, while the adjacent boutique offers a treasure trove of global fashion and homeware. For those who believe in living beautifully, this is your new sanctuary. Jumeirah 1, @comptoir102 Dubai's Bali-inspired cafés are more than just pretty backdrops – they're gateways to a slower, sunnier way of life. Whether you're craving a beachfront feast at KoKo Bay or a silent retreat at SEVA Table, these spots prove that paradise is never too far away. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Instagram & Feature image: Pinterest

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.
