A new restaurant? With stunning views of the Dubai Fountains? Yes please

Dubai has a new reason to linger a little longer by the pool, a new restaurant in Downtown. Say hello to Solara, the city’s latest dining destination and effortlessly chic poolside escape, now open at Address Dubai Mall. Blending the breezy charm of the Mediterranean with the warmth and soul of Arabia, Solara is where laidback luxury meets some of the most captivating views in town, including that unobstructed Burj Khalifa backdrop.

By day, Solara is all about sun-drenched ease. Light glints off the pool as guests settle in with a perfectly chilled rosé, hand-crafted cocktails, and plates of vibrant mezze. Come golden hour, the venue starts to shift, and by night, it transforms entirely. Under the open sky, world-class DJs, live performers, and soulful saxophonists bring the space to life, turning it into a stylish evening enclave for Dubai’s in-the-know crowd.
