Dining


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

Al Shams

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. Evenings invite to unwind and savor a Shisha, featuring soothing flavours and an atmosphere of pure relaxation.

Samak

Casual elegance mingled with zesty world flavours define our Samak seafood grill restaurant, open for 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, Samak transforms into a relaxing beachside retreat amongst the romantically lit landscaping and poolside surrounds.

The Palm

Start your day at The Palm, 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. The a la carte menu features many types of cuisine and the resident Wine Guru will match the perfect wine with your meal.

The Lounge

On a culinary high, guests can share a nightcap at our lounge bar, with 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, aperitifs and cocktails, among other options, all day long.
