Karen Wazen is taking her signature Dubai lifestyle brand back to her home country—and people are already talking.

The Dubai-based entrepreneur, influencer, and eyewear designer has officially opened Karen Wazen Beach Club, a luxury rooftop destination overlooking the Mediterranean from the Aïshti Rooftop in Jal El Dib, Lebanon. Designed to blend Dubai-inspired hospitality with Lebanon's coastal charm, the venue promises an elevated beach club experience complete with poolside lounging, panoramic sea views, premium dining, and sunset sessions.

For anyone familiar with Karen Wazen's polished aesthetic and luxury lifestyle, the new venue feels like a natural extension of her personal brand.

A Dubai-Inspired Escape on the Lebanese Coast

Perched atop the iconic Aïshti complex just outside Beirut, the beach club combines contemporary design with sweeping Mediterranean views.

Guests can spend the day relaxing by the pool, reserve premium sunbeds, enjoy food and drinks overlooking the sea, or browse the on-site boutique before heading into the evening's sunset experience.

The boutique operates daily from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM, giving visitors plenty of time to shop between pool sessions.

Here's What It Costs

Entry pricing depends on the day of your visit:

  • Monday to Thursday: $30
  • Friday to Sunday: $40

The weekday pricing offers a more affordable option for visitors looking to avoid the weekend rush, while weekends are expected to attract larger crowds for the club's sunset atmosphere.

Membership Comes With Extra Perks

For regular visitors, Karen Wazen Beach Club offers a monthly membership priced at $600.

Membership includes:

  • Unlimited beach club access
  • Priority sunbed reservations
  • 15% discount on food and beverages
  • Preferential rates for group bookings and private events
  • A complimentary welcome drink with every visit

For guests planning multiple visits throughout the summer, the membership is designed to provide added convenience and savings.

Opening Hours

The venue follows two operating schedules.

Sunday to Thursday

  • Pool session: 10:00 AM onwards
  • Sunset session: From 6:00 PM

Friday and Saturday

  • Pool access: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
  • Sunset and evening session: 6:00 PM until late

Weekend evenings are expected to become the club's busiest period, combining rooftop dining, music, and waterfront views.

Why Everyone Is Watching This Launch

Karen Wazen has spent years building one of the Middle East's strongest lifestyle brands from Dubai through fashion, beauty, eyewear, and digital influence.

Her move into hospitality represents another expansion of that brand, bringing the luxury experiences associated with Dubai to Lebanon's coastline.

It also reflects a growing regional trend where entrepreneurs and creators are launching destination venues that combine hospitality, lifestyle, and social experiences under a single brand identity.

With its rooftop setting, Mediterranean backdrop, premium amenities, and unmistakable Dubai-inspired aesthetic, Karen Wazen Beach Club is positioning itself as one of Lebanon's most talked-about new summer destinations.
