Dining information

Crescendo opens daily for breakfast, offering live cooking stations and buffet spreads with local and international favourites. Dine al fresco on the poolside terrace, admiring views across the Persian Gulf, and choose from tropical fruits, egg dishes, pancakes, local mezze delicacies and more. Otherwise, grab a coffee or fruit smoothie from the Revo Café, before heading to The Beach House for a casual Mediterranean lunch beside the sea.

Set overlooking the Persian Gulf, the semi open-air Lotus Lounge is a great spot for a mid-morning coffee, light bites, afternoon tea and evening sundowners. For dinner, you can book a table at Mekong, a delightful Thai-themed restaurant with eclectic decor and an outdoor terrace with rickshaw-style tables. The a la carte menu is inspired by the diverse flavours of Thailand, China and Vietnam, and includes vegetarian and vegan options. Alternatively, Bushman’s Restaurant & Bar is an Australian-inspired steakhouse which serves an array of meat – including wagyu beef and seared kangaroo – fish, and vegetable dishes.
