J1 Beach, the beachfront destination by Merex Investment, marks its second anniversary with new dining, nightlife and waterfront experiences
The Club at Little Mykonos by Sirene has opened at J1 Beach as a dedicated nightlife venue, extending the Sirene by GAIA experience beyond sunset. Inspired by the Cycladic islands, the club hosts resident DJs, international headliners and emerging talent. It operates as a nightclub from Friday to Sunday and is also available for private events.
Two new restaurants are set to join J1 Beach in 2027. MŪN, the contemporary Japanese restaurant founded on Paris’s Champs-Élysées, will make its Dubai debut with an indoor dining room and outdoor beachside garden. The menu will focus on contemporary Japanese dishes designed for sharing, with the Dubai venue bringing its own identity while retaining the style of the Paris original.
Cipriani Lido will also open in 2027, marking the Italian hospitality brand’s first beach concept in the UAE. The venue will feature a restaurant and terrace, Bellini Bar & Lounge, and Cipriani-branded cabanas and sunbeds. Its Italian menu will be accompanied by a display of cakes and gelato.
UAE-based luxury lifestyle company Beno is expanding the waterfront offering with watersports and private yacht rentals. Activities include Jet Ski, Flyboard, Seabob, kayaking and paddleboarding, alongside yacht trips ranging from coastal cruises to sunset excursions.
As Dubai’s outdoor season begins, guests can visit J1 Beach’s restaurants and beach clubs by car, with valet parking, or by boat through its Dock & Dine service. Festive dining and New Year’s Eve celebrations are also in the works, with details to be announced soon. Spanning 500 metres of shoreline, J1 Beach brings together beachfront dining, beach clubs, watersports and poolside experiences.
