St Tropez hotspot Gigi Rigolatto to open on October 14 at J1 Beach
It’s the first J1 Beach venue to welcome guests…
It’s goodbye La Mer South and hello J1 Beach, as the brand new destination is set to welcome guests from next week. The first venue at J1 Beach to open will be St Tropez hotspot, Gigi Rigolatto, and it’s set to open its doors on Monday October 14.
Thereafter, a further 12 restaurants and beach clubs will follow, including new members club Chouchou and Cannes icon Baoli in October, then in November concepts like Spanish tapas bar LUNICO and Tulum beach club Gitano will follow.
But back to Gigi Rigolatto, and it’s set to be a stunning first showcase of the fabulous new offerings at J1 Beach. A concept from Paris Society that will be operated by regional heavyweights Rikas Group, it’s bringing a slice of the sun-drenched shores of St Tropez to the glittering city of Dubai. Franco-Mexican architect Hugo Toro has taken influence from Gigi Rigolatto in St Tropez, so we can expect the same chic and refined vibe in Dubai.
