About Buddha-Bar Beach
Shisha service alongside full table and bottle service is the tell here: the evening is built to stretch, from a 5pm arrival at the St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort through to midnight, or 1am on Friday and Saturday when the room fills with socialites, visiting Europeans and the occasional recognisable face. Asian fusion is the kitchen's remit, and the soundtrack moves through jazz and Latin into lounge and deep house as the night settles, with live music and shows punctuating the week. The dress code is formal and enforced, the price band is the top of the scale, and valet handles the arrival — worth factoring in on a weekend.
Doors open daily, year-round, and the crowd skews 25 to 45. A 4.4 rating across more than 770 reviews suggests the polish holds up. Book ahead for Friday and Saturday.
