1. Hola at La Mer is the perfect post-beach treat
Hola dubs itself Dubai’s first Latin fruit bar and is the brain child of Emirati brothers Ali and Yousuf Karmostaji. The venture is inspired by Ali’s frequent visits to Latin America. Hola, which means ‘hello’ in Spanish, is the latest addition to the beach front development, La Mer. They offer an exotic selection of fruit-based delicacies, great for when you’re at the beach. The interiors will give you a Latin American vibe with rustic details and patterned ceramics. The vision was to bring an authentic Latin fruit experience to Dubai.
