Get ready to trade skyscrapers for sunsets and traffic noise for the sound of waves because Bar Du Port is officially setting sail for Ras Al Khaimah! This December, the iconic lifestyle and dining destination that made waves in Beirut, Dubai, Cairo, and Doha is dropping anchor on Hayat Island, Mina, with the launch of its brand-new coastal escape — BDP Beach.
Think of it as Bar Du Port’s younger, flirtier sibling who spends their days in linen shirts, sipping rosé by the sea, and making “effortless sophistication” look, well… effortless.
The Seaside Playground You’ve Been Manifesting
Perched on the golden sands of Hayat Island, BDP Beach isn’t just another beach club — it’s the whole fantasy. Picture this: a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant that serves sunshine on a plate, a glistening pool made for long, lazy afternoons, laid-back loungers where time simply stops, and even a retail space so you can shop before your next dip.
It’s the kind of place where mornings start with iced lattes by the shore, afternoons melt into golden-hour cocktails, and nights come alive with music, laughter, and that distinct Bar Du Port energy — sophisticated, social, and a little bit wild.
Designed for the modern bon vivant, BDP Beach is drenched in sun-soaked minimalism. Expect natural textures, creamy tones, and just enough French Riviera flair to make you forget you’re still in the UAE.
A Little Luxury, A Lot of Fun
Bar Du Port isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a mood. Since opening its first outpost in Beirut a decade ago, the French-style bar and restaurant has mastered the art of turning dining into a lifestyle. It’s the kind of place where the cocktails are as stunning as the crowd and where every evening feels like it could end with a spontaneous dance party (and probably will).
From Beirut to Dubai, Cairo to Doha, and soon Abu Dhabi, the brand has been redefining what “casual elegance” really means. And now, Ras Al Khaimah gets a slice of that charm — blending seaside serenity with cosmopolitan buzz.
As Jacques Kassab, Brand Operations Director of Bar Du Port, puts it:
“BDP Beach marks an exciting new chapter for Bar Du Port — a beach and lifestyle destination in Ras Al Khaimah, reflecting the brand’s DNA, global expansion, and commitment to experiential hospitality. We imagined a place that moves seamlessly from sunlit days to lively nights, where guests can unwind, dine, and celebrate in a setting that’s effortlessly chic, relaxed, and unmistakably BDP”.
We’ll drink to that.
Why Ras Al Khaimah? Because It’s Having a Moment
Let’s be honest — RAK is glowing up. With its stunning coastlines, laid-back vibe, and an ever-growing reputation as the UAE’s next leisure hotspot, it’s only fitting that Bar Du Port chose it for its newest venture.
As Sanjay Nandi, Group CEO of ADMO Lifestyle Holding, explained:
“We’re excited to announce BDP Beach’s debut in RAK, marking another milestone in the brand’s regional expansion under AlphaMind Group. This opening reinforces our vision to bring Bar du Port’s signature offering to new destinations across the Middle East. Ras Al Khaimah’s natural beauty and growing prominence as a leisure hub make it the perfect setting for the next chapter in the Bar du Port story.”
Translation: RAK is no longer your quiet weekend escape — it’s your next it destination.
