Bar du Port, the internationally renowned French Riviera inspired restaurant, brings its celebrated lifestyle concept BDP Beach to the pristine waters of Ras Al Khaimah. The venue is set to open on Sunday, February 8, and reservations are now open. AlphaMind Group, in partnership with RAK Properties, is delighted to announce this latest expansion, marking the seventh location within the Bar du Port portfolio.
Located on Hayat Island, Mina, the new upscale coastal escape marks the brand’s second beachside expression, with the first BDP Beach located on the shores of Byblos, Lebanon. The new luxury beach front destination combines Bar du Port’s festive charm with the natural beauty of the UAE’s coastal landscape, and brings an all-day experience where glamorous, sun-drenched days turn into lively evenings. The serene poolside and sandy white beach are dotted with relaxing sunloungers, offering stunning sea views and a sophisticated open-air space where guests can soak up the sun from morning through sunset.
Meanwhile, the dining area serves Bar du Port’s signature cuisine of French classics with a global expression across a chic indoor-outdoor space, welcoming diners from lunch to dinner. Expertly crafted by Brand Executive Chef Hadi Saroufim, the Restaurant Menu pairs Bar du Port favourites with new sea-inspired creations, along with a fresh fish display and fire-baked pizzas. As for the Beach & Pool Menu, it invites guests to enjoy a leisurely bite by the water, with shareable snacks, indulgent tartines, pizzas, and more. As always, the à la carte selection is perfectly complemented by a curated menu of premium bottles and signature cocktails.
BDP Beach comes to life through a cultural programme inspired by the rhythms of the French Riviera, welcoming locals and vacationers alike. Guests can unwind with BDP Sunsets from Sunday to Friday, enjoy the ultimate beachside escape on Mondays with BDP Ladies’ Day ‘Entre Filles’, or let the rhythm carry them through the night with Live Band Thursdays. Fridays invite leisurely sunset sips at Rosé Piscine, while Saturdays are made for golden-hour indulgence with Riviera Lunch. Lastly, Brunch au Soleil will launch on Sunday post-ramadan, inviting guests to linger over French flavours and serene sea views.
"We’re thrilled to welcome guests to BDP Beach in Ras Al Khaimah,” said Jacques Kassab, Brand Operations Director of Bar du Port. “This new destination, at the heart of RAK Properties’ Mina community, captures everything people love about Bar du Port - the French Riviera spirit, the festive atmosphere, the indulgent cuisine and cocktails, now set on one of the UAE's most breathtaking beaches. As the brand continues expanding across the region, this opening marks another exciting step in cementing Bar du Port as the go-to lifestyle experience.”
What began in Beirut in 2016 as a French Riviera inspired dining experience rooted in a little luxury, a lot of fun has grown into one of the region’s most recognisable lifestyle brands. From the laid-back shores of BDP Beach in Byblos to its award-winning Dubai Harbour outpost launched in January 2022, Bar du Port has continued to evolve across Cairo, Doha, and Abu Dhabi. Now, Bar du Port is proudly welcoming guests across six destinations in the MENA region. The opening of BDP Beach in Ras Al Khaimah is the natural next step in a journey shaped by coastal living, indulgent moments, and a passion for bringing people together by the sea.
