10 Spots To Enjoy Some Alone Time In Beirut
At this festive time of the year, it can be hard to find solitude in a city buzzing with the holiday spirit, so we’ve come to the rescue!
Here are 10 spots where you can enjoy your own company in Beirut and give your body, mind, and soul some much-needed rest.
1. Beirut Art Center, Adlieh
A huge art space welcoming you every day from Monday to Saturday starting 12pm. You can reserve your free ticket through their website and enjoy a solo viewing of the current exhibitions: Public Works Studio and Nadim Choufi’s Race For The Surface.
2. Urban V, Verdun
A spa is your ideal place to disconnect completely from the outside world and have some alone self-care time. Pick the package you like from their website (https://urbanvspa.com/), book an appointment, and relax!
3. Onomatopoeia The Music Hub, Ashrafieh
Besides being a hub for musicians offering them private rooms for jam sessions, Onomatopoeia welcomes you into its cozy café where you can enjoy great coffee and get tasks done without distractions!
4. Curl, Badaro
Visiting this new book and coffee shop in Badaro and melting into a good book with a cup of hot chocolate in hand at 8 in the morning is nothing less than therapeutic.
5. The Slow, Mar Mikhael
The Slow is your place to take it slow: it’s an organic café and concept store with a very minimalistic earthy interior and peaceful atmosphere. You’ll feel serene as soon as you step inside.
6. Nomadic, Jal El Dib
This coffee shop is a perfect working space. Sit by the bar swings or at any of the small tables, order yourself a drink with a snack from the large variety of pastries available, and enjoy the calm ambiance.
7. Kohi, Kantari
Another work and study space located in Antwork! They have a spacious outdoor area with socially distant seating where you can sip on delicious coffee made using their own Kohi beans brand.
8. Chronicles, Fanar
Chronicles is “your home away from home” with a large silent area, hot drinks, fresh homemade bakes, and beautiful city scenery that is best enjoyed at sunset.
9. Al Madina Theatre, Hamra
Watching a play is like sitting with your own self, especially when you go to the theatre alone. It entertains you, gives you something to reflect on, and makes you disconnect from the loud outside world. Keep an eye on their Instagram page to see which plays are being performed.
10. Sanayeh Garden, Sanayeh
Aim for a weekday afternoon to sit down at a bench or take a thoughtful walk in this public garden as you enjoy the beautiful greenery surrounding you.
