    We’re reaching the halfway point of the UAE summer thankfully, but there’s still a couple of months left of scorching temperatures.
    To help pass the time in style, this Dubai hotspot is the ideal place to beat the heat.
    Exuding opulence and luxury, Twiggy by La Cantine instantly transports you to the Côte d’Azur in the heart of the Mediterranean all day, every day.
    With Provence-inspired decor with pastel and cream hues and touches of rattan, soak up the sun in style on one of the beach club’s many loungers or for those who prefer more privacy, opt for one of the six cabanas at Twiggy.
    Perfect for bigger groups, the cabanas – Coco Cabana, Bardot Cabana and Grace Cabana – comfortably seat six to 12 people, where you can enjoy the day, lounging, swimming, chatting and indulging in the finest cuisine all day, until the sun sets.

    Open until 2am daily, bask in the sun at the beach club, located at the foot of the Park Hyatt Dubai Lagoon, in the company of an upbeat soundtrack during the day and dine out at the restaurant, which has gone indoors for summer, at night.
    With a menu swinging between Ibiza, Saint-Tropez, Cassis and Formentera via Okinawa, Twiggy is the perfect spot to indulge in delicious dishes for lunch and dinner, all of which are made from the freshest ingredients.
    Favourite summer dishes from the menu curated by Chef Fabio Luz include classic burrata, refreshing lentil salad, seabass fillet, king crab avocado and many more.
    So, whether you’re looking to soak up the sun poolside or indulge in a decadent dining experience, Twiggy is the perfect place to spend the rest of the hot summer months.
