Mekong follows one storied river through the flavors of three countries.
Mekong draws inspiration from the river that connects cultures across Southeast Asia, taking guests on a culinary journey through the layered flavors of China, Vietnam, and Thailand. Traditional techniques inform signature dishes that have been thoughtfully reimagined for the restaurant’s Palm Jumeirah setting. The dining room carries the story further through artwork and colors inspired by each country represented on the menu. Together, the design and cuisine evoke the neighborhoods and culinary traditions found along the Mekong River, creating a dining experience that feels connected to place even from the shores of Dubai.
Mai Bar follows the relaxed rhythm of a day by the pool, serving drinks and casual bites directly to guests’ loungers. After a swim or a round of beach volleyball, guests can cool down with a cocktail or a refreshing watermelon crush without straying far from the water. Platters, burgers, and salads are served throughout the day, while the swim-up bar makes it easy to linger in the pool. As afternoon turns to evening, Mai Bar shifts naturally into a spot for sundowners, with the changing light over the golden shoreline setting the scene.
