Hidden Culinary Escape to Safliya Island

Safliya Island Dining Escape – A Hidden Culinary Experience by the Sea

Some meals are meant to be more than food. The Hidden Culinary Escape to Safliya Island is a four-hour experience where the dining is slow, the view is wide, and the moment feels private, even if you’re not alone.

You’ll begin with a smooth boat cruise departing from Dhow Harbor. As the city skyline fades behind you, you’ll sail toward Safliya Island, a stretch of sand tucked just far enough away to feel untouched.

A Seaside Table with a City View

Once you arrive at the island, your guide will lead you to a cozy beachfront setup where your meal is served by the sea. Whether it’s early morning or just after sunset, the island keeps its own pace.

Depending on your selected time, you’ll be welcomed with a set menu tailored for the moment — a curated breakfast, a laid-back lunch, or a relaxed dinner under soft skies. Alongside your meal, enjoy soft drinks and the open-air calm that makes this place special.

There’s no pressure to dress up or do much. Just sit down, take in the view, and eat at your own rhythm.
