This Ramadan, Address Grand Creek Harbour extends an open invitation for you to partake in an extraordinary dining experience that perfectly captures the essence of the holy month. With the season drawing near, the hotel is poised to become a sanctuary for those seeking to immerse themselves in an atmosphere that beautifully marries traditional reverence with contemporary luxury.
The ambience
As the holy season of prayer, reflection and connection gently unfolds, I was among the fortunate ones to receive an invitation to an exclusive pre-Ramadan iftar preview hosted by the illustrious Address Grand Creek Harbour in the heart of Dubai. The experience commenced the moment we stepped onto the premises, greeted by an enchanting pathway adorned with lanterns and fairy lights, leading us onto a red carpet. This semi-covered entryway did not just guide us into The Luma Pool Lounge; it transported us into a realm of royal sensations, setting the tone for an evening that promised to be an unforgettable blend of culinary excellence and sensorial delight.
Crafting our own perfumes
Upon entering, we were captivated by the aromatic oasis provided by @Theperfumebaruae. Here, amidst a sea of scents ranging from the deep, earthy tones of oud to the sweet allure of vanilla and musk, we embarked on a personal journey to create our own bespoke perfumes. Crafting a fragrance became an exercise in storytelling — mine, a narrative woven with threads of tobacco, wood, oud, and a delicate touch of vanilla; my daughter’s, a tale told through the fresh, uplifting notes of floral musks. This engaging experience was not just about creating a scent but about capturing memories in a bottle, memories of a special evening that had barely begun.
The dining experience
Our dining adventure commenced as we were led to a table that boasted unparalleled views of Dubai’s magnificent skyline. The buffet stations sprawled before us were a testament to the lavish spread that awaited — an array of salads that spanned the spectrum from Western classics to Arabic favorites, a diverse selection of mains, freshly baked breads, soul-warming soups, and the tantalizing allure of a live shawarma station. Yet, it was the dessert section that truly captured our imagination, highlighted by a Turkish ice cream artisan who served up sweet treats with a side of entertainment, playfully interacting with guests as he masterfully prepared each serving.
Central to this sumptuous offering is Luma Pool Lounge, which undergoes a remarkable transformation to welcome Ramadan. Here, against the stunning backdrop of Dubai’s skyline, guests are treated to a modern interpretation of traditional Arabic dishes, alongside a selection of international flavors. The hotel’s skilled chefs have meticulously curated iftar and suhoor menus that promise a journey of culinary discovery from dusk till dawn, all through the holy month. As the lounge adorns itself in the spirit of Ramadan, guests are invited to embark on an unparalleled culinary adventure, enhanced by the picturesque setting.
The ambiance of Luma Pool Lounge, with its blend of casual elegance and breathtaking views of the creek, offers an idyllic retreat to conclude a day of fasting. A buffet that boasts an exquisite array of Middle Eastern gastronomy awaits, featuring three rotating menus that promise a new experience with each visit. In addition, guests can enjoy a selection of hubbly bubbly flavors, adding a contemporary twist to the evening. The daily performance of an oud player infuses the air with melodious tunes, weaving a tapestry of sound that enhances the sense of community and togetherness, central to the spirit of Ramadan.
The iftar feast at Luma Pool Lounge caters to an eclectic palate, offering everything from the savory delights of Spinach Fatayer and Hummus Beiruti to hearty main courses like Bamia Bil Lahim and Beef Stroganoff. Live cooking stations bring the spectacle of culinary craftsmanship to your table, with offerings like succulent lamb ouzi and a variety of char-grilled specialties. For those with a penchant for sweets, the dessert station is a dream come true, featuring traditional favorites like Um Ali and Kunafa Bel Jibn, complemented by refreshing beverages such as Moroccan Tea and Jalab.
This Ramadan, Address Grand Creek Harbour invites you to a feast that goes beyond mere dining — it’s an experience that celebrates the rich tapestry of cultures, flavors, and traditions that define this holy month.
