Everything Planned As Zuma Beachhouse And Gran Meliá Dubai Joins Line Up

La Mer is soon to become a hotspot with the news that J1 Beach is opening 12 new dining and club venues.

But have you heard about Port de La Mer? It’s a new neighbourhood just a five-minute drive away from La Mer beach. The latest update is that it will be home to Zuma Beachhouse and Gran Meliá Dubai.

Port De La Mer is a marina promenade that is part of the island development located at the tip of the north peninsula of La Mer. Developer Meeras is behind the project and is advertising the plot as ‘inspired by the Mediterranean Sea’.

It’s been confirmed that Osteria Funkcoolio is set to open its doors at the end of December on the plot.

From Dubai-based chef Akmal Anuar, it will be a 30-seater restaurant where Italian cuisine is made with the best of Japanese ingredients.

The news that Zuma Dubai Beachhouse is set to overlook the Port de La Mer marina is exciting. A sleek pool with day beds and a resident DJ providing tunes will be part of the setup and a lounge bar and a private beach will be available to visitors.

Another huge opening will be Gran Meliá Dubai, which will overlook the Port de La Mer marina.

According to Meliá Hotels International, the hotel will open at the end of 2025 and will have 380 rooms and suites with views of the ocean and the city’s skyline.

For those wanting to live in Port de La Mer, there is a range of apartments being built with local amenities such as large swimming pools, plus beach and marina access.

Other highlights include a 190-berth marina, a yacht club, seaside and marina promenades overlooking Pearl Jumeira, private landscaped terraces and an outdoor park and kids’ play areas.

Port de La Mer is just a five-minute drive (or an 18-minute walk) from La Mer. So you can have access to all the new and exciting additions planned for La Mer, including Oriental beach garden Mūn, St Tropez outpost Gigi Rigolatto and French eatery Chouchouto, will be within easy reach.
