There’s this place in Dubai called La Mer that I really, really like. The name itself makes me very happy, it’s a literal translation of “the beach” from French, which brings a smile to my face every time I hear about it. It’s quite literally a boardwalk they’ve constructed along the beach, so you can play in the sand and touch the water and soak in that awesome beach feeling, but there are literally a 100 types of food/shopping outlets you could go check out if the sun is scorching or if you’re done with the beach for the day. The walk is phenomenal, it’s a very picturesque setting, and it’s got the coolest vibe I have seen.
The vibe stems from the amazing lighting, and the speakers they’ve installed around the walkway which plays really great “bounce”-style music. So fun.
Here’s a glimpse:
