Why you should experience this luxe Italian escape in the heart of Dubai

With post-vacation blues having a serious effect on us, Dubai’s Bvlgari Yacht club is here to help with some late summer lounging.

If you’re finally ready to venture back out into the sun as summer begins to cool to more optimal temperatures, this upscale haven is the ideal day-cation location to relax, unwind and feel like you’re still in Italy.

For a truly crafted experience, we’ve curated a guide on how to make your next visit to this nautically inspired venue a memorable one.

The ultimate relaxation

Bulgari’s first-ever Yacht Club overlooks a 46-boat harbour and recreates the charm of a Mediterranean atmosphere in Dubai. The poolside cabanas are the perfect location for reading as the shoreline breeze keeps you cool. Occasionally you’ll be interrupted with a homemade ice lolly to cool down. It’s the little details.

The fine-dining experience

Whether you opt for indoor with chic leather seating in warm caramel leathers or outside overlooking the marina – dining for lunch or after hours under the stars feels just as special. The team here is the perfect combination of attentive yet not intrusive, a balance that brings ease to your dining experience in the peace that everything is taken care of.

The hero dish

As Primi Piatti you really can’t go wrong with Tagliatelle fatte in casa con ragu di vitello (homemade tagliatelle with veal ragu). If you’re gluten-free they will cook penne for you to al dente perfection so you can still indulge. Secondi wise–opt for one of their specialty fish dishes, we loved Orata alla Palermitana (Seabream Palermitana style).
