Alongside Zuma Beach House, it's set to turn the Gran Melia La Mer into Dubai's hottest new hotel…
It's a firm favourite with London's social set – not to mention one of the most decadent restaurants in the city. And now Park Chinois has set its sights on global expansion, with suitably glamourous Dubai confirmed as its next location.
A uniquely glamourous ode to 1930s Shanghai, Park Chinois is one of London's hottest tables, home to an elevated experiential dining experience in Salon de Chin; as well as Club Chinois, a sultry after-hours spot for those in the know. We're expecting both to land in the city with the upcoming Park Chinois Dubai.

While it will likely be next year before we're dining on delicate dim sum and snapping chic shots in the oh-so-Instagrammable interiors, we do have a confirmed location for Park Chinois Dubai. Announced via a LinkedIn post, Park Chinois will join the culinary line-up at Gran Melia Port De La Mer.
Under construction at the top of La Mer, the Gran Melia is set to become one of the city's most desirable resorts. While the renowned hotspots of J1 Beach including Gigi, Baoli and Sirene are within easy reach, the hotel will also house its own iconic beach club, Zuma Beach House. Set to open in 2027, Zuma Beach House will bring a breezy and refined seaside iteration of the renowned restaurant to the city. Featuring a stretching swimming pool, private beach and plush day beds, it's sure to be a stunning spot for daytime dining and imbibing.
Park Chinois is one of a number of glittering restaurants and beach clubs that form Ibiza-born Island Hospitality. The group are also behind the brand's White Isle location, as well as Ibiza hotspot Beachouse and pretty Mediterranean restaurant, Finca La Plaza. Could Beachouse Dubai be next? We certainly hope so.

Kris Aquino Shares Struggles with Pain Amid Rainy Days and Ongoing Health Battle
TV host and actress Kris Aquino opened up about her worsening physical condition, particularly the severe bone pain she experiences during rainy weather—one of the many symptoms tied to her over 10 autoimmune diseases. Through a Q&A session with followers on Instagram, Kris candidly shared that she's been feeling sad lately, especially with the upcoming 16th death anniversary of her mother, former President Cory Aquino. She expressed sorrow knowing her mother might be witnessing her suffer from both physical and emotional pain. Despite this, Kris remains proud of her son Joshua, who she describes as sweet and affectionate. She thanked close friends and family, including her sister Viel and former senator Nancy Binay's sister Anne, for helping take care of Josh while she's far away. She also noted that the fresh sea breeze has helped improve her breathing and stabilize her blood pressure—an important benefit given her low blood condition. However, Kris admitted that the rainy weather intensifies her pain. She even drew a sentimental comparison, recalling how her mother once said she was the 'female Ninoy,' and now sees her youngest son, Bimby, as the version Cory truly deserved. Responding to a fan's well-wishes, Kris said she experiences both good and bad days, but is thankful to have Bimby by her side during the worst ones. She also clarified that she has never had cancer, addressing rumors triggered by her PET scan earlier this year. The scan, she explained, was meant to monitor lung damage from her autoimmune condition and long COVID, not cancer.

Beauty queen-turned-actress Kylie Verzosa has acquired a property in Italy with her friends. Verzosa revealed the purchase through an Instagram Story post, sharing photos of the newly acquired house located in Puglia, a region in southern Italy. 'Bought a house in Italy… She's finally ours,' she wrote, referring to the property named Villa Sogno or 'dream villa.' The villa, designed in traditional Puglian architectural style, features a stone façade, a central courtyard, landscaped gardens, and a turquoise pool. Its interiors blend rustic and modern elements, including arched windows, barrel-vaulted ceilings, a wooden farmhouse table, wicker chairs, and a four-poster bed with a copper bathtub. One of Verzosa's co-owners, Danish musician Tomas Barfod, gave a closer look at the property through photos on his Instagram page. The acquisition follows Verzosa's business debut last year, when she launched her shapewear clothing line.
