True to the island's history as a crossroads of culture, culinary delights at Desert Islands Resort & Spa span all genres, from light poolside snacks of Arab mezze to plentiful feasts of grilled local and imported seafood. Whether you're craving warm, freshly baked pastry from our Delicatessen or a candlelit dinner of grilled seafood, our five food and beverage venues are sure to tempt every appetite.

Pool Bar
With the convenience of our Pool Bar, there's no need for guests to take a break from soaking up the sun. Adjacent to the poolside, the Pool Bar offers plenty of lounge space, complete with sunbeds, for guests to enjoy a refreshing afternoon swim or snacks under shaded umbrellas. Guests can choose from a wide selection of light gourmet snacks and beverages in a casual, family-friendly atmosphere, just strides away from the beach.

Seafood Grill
Casual elegance mingled with zesty world flavours define our seafood grill restaurant, open for both lunch and dinner. The menu offers an astounding wine list and an abundance of seafood and imported steaks that are prepared to taste on an open grill. During the breezy island evenings, the Seafood Grill transforms into a relaxing beachside retreat amongst the romantically lit landscaping and poolside surrounds.

Delicatessen
Our modern Delicatessen has a rustic feel, with hardwood shelves of various types of freshly baked breads, pastries and cakes. Our baked goods are complemented by a fully imported selection of Continental cheeses, cold cuts and gourmet salads. Guests can savour a warm muffin in the air conditioned indoor oasis, or even take away a personally prepared sandwich for a picnic on the beach or in their private walled gardens.

All-Day Dining Restaurant
Start your day at our all-day dining restaurant, featuring an international and Middle Eastern breakfast buffet. When dusk settles, the airy restaurant becomes the site for occasional themed nights that incorporate local performances. The a la carte menu features many types of cuisine and includes specialty dishes designed for interactive tableside cooking.

Lounge Bar
On a culinary high, guests can share a nightcap at our lounge bar, where live entertainment and stunning views across the sea will end your evening on the perfect note. Relaxing on soft, comfortable furnishings, guests are offered quality coffees, gourmet loose leaf teas, apertifs and cocktails, among other options, all day long. Guests may also unwind in our dedicated shisha area, featuring soothing flavours and an atmosphere of pure relaxation.
