Karen Wazen’s Dubai Beach Club Is Coming to Lebanon! Here’s What We Know
Karen Wazen is bringing her coastal aesthetics to the heart of Lebanon with a new beach club.
The Lebanese entrepreneur and fashion mogul’s beach club concept, which debuted in Dubai earlier this year, is coming to the Aïshti Rooftop in Jal El Dib. While details remain under wraps for now, her Dubai pop-up gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect.
What Was Karen Wazen’s Dubai Beach Club?
Earlier this year, Karen Wazen Collection took over the beachfront terrace of Bebabel at Club Vista Mare on Palm Jumeirah for a seasonal beach club experience that ran from April through May. Rather than opening a permanent venue, the project transformed the space into an immersive extension of the Karen Wazen brand.
The beach club quickly became recognizable for its black-and-cream striped aesthetic, monochrome palette, and Karen Wazen’s signature infinity emblem featured throughout the venue. The branded umbrellas, loungers, and sculptural surfboards turned the setup into a sleek, Riviera-inspired, and highly photogenic space.
What to Expect from the Experience
While you could spend the day lounging by the water, the experience extended beyond sunbeds. The venue featured branded backgammon sets and padel boards, a boutique showcasing the full By Karen Wazen eyewear collection, and exclusive merchandise including striped beach towels.
Food and drinks were also part of the experience. Guests could enjoy handcrafted cocktails, Bebabel’s Lebanese-inspired menu, a signature coconut cart, and branded offerings throughout the day.
What Will the Lebanon Version Look Like?
While specific details about the Lebanon location have not been revealed, the Dubai concept suggests that the project is more than a simple summer rooftop.
Considering both Karen Wazen and Bebabel share Lebanese roots, we expect the Lebanon edition to also incorporate local touches while maintaining the clean, recognizable aesthetic that made the Dubai pop-up a success.
The beach club will open on July 1st, 2026. Until then, we’ll be keeping an eye out for more details. Make sure to follow them on Instagram for more!
