Beautiful place to simply relax under the stars, you won’t hear loud music here, just soft Arabic beats whilst you smoke some shisha (grape of course), snack on gorgeous Arabic mezze and drinks. Alcohol is also served. Seating cannot be reserved so best to arrive by 7pm to get the best view lounge seats. A full restaurant is available inside.
Ikandy Bar
Shangri La Hotel
+971 4 343 8888
Open: October – mid June 6pm (enquire first) 6pm – 2am daily.
This poolside shisha lounge is an unofficial addition to Shangri La’s outlets mainly due to the fact that it is not open year round so enquire if you are planning to visit during the hotter season. The décor is very bubblegum fused with LA style glam with generously sized lounge sofas amongst drapes of white fabric. Music is cool and just the right tempo to relax with a good pot of shisha, some yummy lounge snacks include the uniquely topped pizzas, and great bar service. All of this overlooking the pool and stunning views of the Burj Khalifa make it perfect really. We couldn’t really fault anything here except for the pink lighting, which actually worked nicely and we’re sure Barbie would be well proud.
