As a beachfront development, La Mer in Jumeirah 1 is a blend of modern and traditional architecture, and brings together the best of trends and eating places.
The Meraas development was open for public use for the first time in October 2017, with 1.24 million square metres of existing and reclaimed land taken over by sprawling timber walkways and beachside promenades packed with restaurants, bars and ice cream parlours. Whilst waves lapped against the smooth tiles, the restaurants were abuzz with fervent energy and the bars were thronged by youngsters. What a rich melange of colours is this place! Let us examine what are the must-do things which one should do in this adorable place:
For those who love opulent beaches and love to get soaked to the skin in sea water, La Mers is the right place to go! It is incredibly, breath-takingly beautiful and azure waters are lit up by radiant skies. So, for those who love sandy beaches and clear waters, this is the ideal destination! Families can enjoy the safety of shallow waters, after taking a dip or two, and then shower off the sand in the areas circled off for this purpose.
Though an artifical construction, the place is surrounded by natural beauty and is redolent with old-fashioned charms. The place has dappled charm and has palm trees lining the promenade. The concept is really unqiue i.e. to bring together man-made pleasures and nature's purity.
La Mer (literally translating to “the sea”), a sprawling 13.4 million sq ft development in Jumeirah 1, by Meraas, is one-of-a-kind. It boasts of many attractions, all brought together under the umbrella of one trendy hangout spot. This makes it the most coveted space.

It has all these cozy, tucked-in spaces which are ideal for eating and whiling away time at one's own sweet pace and convenience. Be it Levee Café and Lounge, which is a trendy,upmarket lounge or Makan, the restaurant which offers authentic and delicious renditions of classic dishes from the Middle East, the foodies will all be completely mind-blown! There are also several new restaurants which are yet to open, such as Backyard, Masti, and Mamikonyan.
Be it 98 Coast Av, with its wealth of on-trend underwater wear to the men and kids of Dubai, or Beach Bunny, a leading ladies swim and resort-wear brand, the place is flooded with retail stores.
