Located beside the hotel’s main entrance and connected to the all-day dining area, Oasis transforms an existing outdoor terrace into a new culinary destination. Conceived as a light architectural addition that does not compete with the main building, the restaurant creates a climate-controlled dining experience inspired by the atmosphere of desert camps and the symbolic presence of the oasis within the Arabian landscape.
A palm-lined arrival leads guests into Oasis: a culinary retreat centred around a Mallmann-style barbecue.
The arrival sequence becomes an essential part of the concept. A palm-lined pathway, accompanied by water features and soft lighting, guides guests towards the restaurant and evokes the ceremonial quality of traditional Arabian gardens. This threshold marks a transition from the hotel into a more immersive setting, where vegetation, shadow and sound begin to shape the experience before entering the dining space.
At the heart of the restaurant, a Mallmann-style barbecue becomes the culinary focal point: a visible ritual of fire and craft that brings warmth, movement and a sense of gathering to the space. Although the restaurant operates as an indoor setting, its design deliberately blurs this perception. Suspended greenery, timber lattice ceilings and layered lighting create the feeling of dining beneath a crafted canopy, recalling the shaded structures and filtered light often found in traditional souks.
The material palette intensifies the warm tones already present throughout the hotel. Terracotta, coral and desert-red shades are combined with textured wall finishes, patterned ceramics, brick arches and subtle golden details, creating an atmosphere that feels rich, enveloping and deeply rooted in place. Around the main dining room, the glazed façade opens towards a landscaped terrace, where different seating areas are softened and defined by dense vegetation, extending the experience into a garden-like setting.
Together, the indoor restaurant, outdoor dining areas and shisha lounge create a layered hospitality experience that feels both contemporary and connected to local rituals. Oasis becomes a place of warmth and gathering, where the memory of desert camps is reinterpreted through vegetation, craft, fire and atmosphere.
Terracotta, coral and desert-red tones wrap the restaurant in a warm atmosphere, evoking the glow, texture and intimacy of desert camps.
