African Queen Dubaï universe
Universe and rhythm: relaxation and celebration
The experience begins early in the morning with a quiet moment on the beach or by the pool. The sky is clear, the air mild, and the sea gentle. Then, around noon, the venue gains energy: lounge DJ, signature cocktails, an unapologetic beach club vibe. The thoughtful design — minimalist furniture, tropical plants, wadding and linen — sets the pace of the afternoon’s evolution. The clientele is international, chic without ostentation, seeking quality and suspended moments. People come to lounge, to see and be seen, to live in the moment. Private cabanas, beachside beds, panoramic views over the Gulf… everything is designed to extend the pleasure. The interior design continues this spirit: naturalness, elegance, fluidity. The venue oscillates between calm and vitality, doing justice to the idea of a new-generation seaside resort.
At the end of the day, the bar and club on the terrace comes to life. The musical notes slow down, the light turns golden, conversations gently come alive. You move from parasol to stage, from swimming to celebration. The beach club becomes the theater of an unforgettable sunset, where sand, sea, and light compose a living tableau.
The beach–pool experience: freedom & sophistication
The beach club and the pool are the two highlights of the venue. Visitors alternate between the freshness of the water, the softness of the sand, and relaxing on a lounger. The idea is simple: live a whole moment “by the water’s edge,” from morning to evening, without leaving the venue. The seaside resort becomes an urban refuge: fine sandy beaches, plush mattresses, continuous service.
In addition to the emblematic pool, the contiguous beach offers a natural extension — soft sand, open views, loungers facing the horizon. The Gulf’s crystalline water, the site’s turquoise–azure palette, and ever-changing light make it a living décor. The beach club turns into a sensorial space, where every gesture — as simple as setting down a glass, or more ostentatious like a dive at sunset — contributes to the experience. Freedom is also expressed through rhythm: reading a book in the morning, swimming in the afternoon, sipping in the lounge in the evening. The daypass concept finds its full meaning here.

Restaurant African Queen Dubaï

Gastronomy & sea view
At the heart of the club, the restaurant is an experience in itself. Led by a chef inspired by Provence and the Côte d’Azur, the menu pays homage to Southern flavors. Seafood takes pride of place: oysters, langoustines, sea bass carpaccios, citrus ceviches. Dishes are meticulous, graphic, elegant: grilled fish, colorful salads, refined vegetarian plates. The cuisine aims to be sincere, light, visual. Every bite tells a bit of the waterfront, between Southern herbs, olive oil, and fresh lemon. Service is attentive, seamless, elegant. Rosé wine, signature cocktails, or tropical mocktails accompany the moment. Lunch or dinner here suspends time: before the sea, in a chic and laid-back atmosphere.
In the evening, the ambiance grows more hushed. Tables glow with candles, conversations become confidential. You dine facing the sea, lulled by the sound of the waves. The culinary experience turns emotional, between sensuality and simplicity. The club-restaurant embodies both the Riviera spirit and the Gulf’s energy.
