Where Elevated Dining meets Boutique Beachfront Vibes
Dubai, UAE-– Kaimana Beach, the new gem on Dubai’s vibrant J1 Beach, is now welcoming guests to experience a one-of-a-kind boutique beachside escape that combines the laid-back charm of the Polynesian Islands with world-class dining. The exclusive and intimate beach club fuses Asian and Polynesian flavours with a modern sophisticated design, creating a stunning space where guests can relax in style while enjoying some of the finest culinary offerings in the city.
From the moment guests arrive at Kaimana Beach, they will be immersed in a dynamic, feel-good space inspired by the beauty of the Polynesian Islands. A refreshing and inviting pool takes centre stage, surrounded by chic pool loungers and a collection of unique beach furniture including sunbeds, the iconic beach cocoons for couples and private Tiki cabanas for a more intimate beach day. The handcrafted design features, ranging from intricate tiles and plates to rich wooden accents, bring a touch of artisanal craftsmanship to the space. A standout element is an impressive bamboo pergola – The Waka, that complements the venue’s aesthetic. With its emphasis on seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, Kaimana Beach creates a harmonious environment where the sun, sea and sky come together to enhance every moment.
The infectious energy at Kaimana Beach is further fueled by live music and resident DJs. During the day, guests can enjoy a mix of chilled island lounge beats, while the evening brings live sundown sessions and upbeat beach vibes, with deep house and Afro beats continuing the scene after sunset.
At the heart of Kaimana Beach’s appeal is its Michelin-quality dining experience, curated by renowned international chef Michael Collantes. With deep roots in Hawaii, Collantes earned his first Michelin star for Soseki Modern Omasake in 2022. With over 20 years of experience and a career spent working alongside culinary legends, he brings his extensive expertise to Kaimana Beach, where he blends his Hawaiian roots with global influences to create a dynamic, seasonal menu that celebrates native Hawaiian ingredients and reimagines traditional dishes with a contemporary Asian twist.
The Kaimana Beach menu is a fusion of Asian-Polynesian influences, designed to transport guests to the tropics with every bite. The signature dishes showcase a masterful blend of experimental flavours and premium ingredients. Highlights include the Escargots Malasadas, a savoury doughnut stuffed with snails and black truffle cream; the Piña Colada Oysters, topped with coconut calamansi foam, pineapple salsa, and a drizzle of garlic chili oil for a tropical burst of flavour; and the Braised Beef Cheek Loco Moco, paired with a perfectly crisp panko-fried egg, golden onion strings, and fresh chives for a bold, hearty tasting experience. The Pulpo Anticuchero features tender octopus accompanied with hasselback potatoes, shiso chimichurri, and a rich black garlic aioli.
To finish on a sweet note, guests can indulge in the refreshing Coconut Tapioca Panna Cotta, complemented by a minted mango compote, or opt for the Lilikoi Crème Brûlée, paired with ginger-pineapple compote and a crisp sesame tuile. Every dish is a celebration of innovation and artistry, promising a memorable dining experience.
The cocktail menu is as bold and imaginative as the cuisine, showcasing a diverse array of creative drinks inspired by tropical flavours and artisanal techniques. Each cocktail is thoughtfully designed to complement the dining experience, blending premium spirits with innovative flavour profiles. Highlights include the vibrant Tribal Dance, the zesty Aloha Paloma, the refreshing Hawaiian Sour, and the indulgent Samoan Treasure. From the refreshing Maui Mojito to the decadent Toffee-tini, the menu caters to every palate, with the expertly curated cocktails forming an integral and memorable part of the overall experience.
While the pool area is exclusively for adults only (21+), families with children can enjoy the beautiful beach facilities, ensuring there is something for everyone. Prices range from AED 250 per person for a pool lounger to AED 1,500 per couple for a Tikki Cabana by the beach – both of which are fully redeemable on food and beverages.
