La Mer is an urban beachfront destination that combines sun and sand with shopping and style. With turquoise waters, white sands and funky murals, the leisure locale brings a splash of colour to the surrounding Jumeirah neighbourhood. The development boasts a modern industrial aesthetic and features a buzzworthy selection of shops, cafes, restaurants and beach activities for you to enjoy. In 2023, La Mer is set to unveil many new-to-Dubai venues. Soon, you can make your way to internationally-acclaimed beach clubs like Sirene Beach by Gaia and Bâoli while here, among other spots that promise elevated seaside experiences.

Get ready for an exciting seafood experience at Aprons & Hammers. The name says it all – you’ll be given aprons and hammers along with pliers, knives, and other tools to work with. The pièce de résistance is delivered tableside – a bucket of freshly-caught crabs, jumbo shrimps, mussels and even lobster. It’s all served with the chef’s signature dipping sauce.

Laguna Waterpark at La Mer is Dubai’s latest attraction ready to thrill the whole family with splashing fun. With more than 10 rides across all thrill-levels, this water park is the perfect addition to your itinerary. Surf fanatics can hop on Laguna’s key attraction – the WaveOz 180 FloRider. This surf machine is just one of three in the entire world. Laguna Waterpark is a fun day out for absolutely everyone, so even the very little ones are catered for. With an infinity edge pool, Aqua Play and Splash Pad, you’ll find it hard to fit all the attractions into just one day.

He's one of Dubai's most popular chefs so it's no surprise that Izu Ani's light-filled Eunoia by Carine has garnered praise from foodies. The casual, all-day dining venue at Hyatt Centric Jumeirah in La Mer showcases the French-Mediterranean flavours Ani is known for, with trademark dishes served from the theatrical open kitchen. Try the fresh shakshouka, grilled lamb chops and watermelon feta salad, but it's all spectacular.
