There’s a new reason to spend the day on Saadiyat Island this September, as Bloom Arjaan by Rotana introduces its new Pool Day. Guests can settle in beside the hotel’s rimflow pool overlooking Saadiyat, take a dip, unwind in the outdoor whirlpool or sauna, and order food and refreshing drinks from Distrikt Social throughout the day.
And when the sun starts to dip, there’s no need to call it a day. Head to Distrikt Social, Bloom Arjaan’s vibrant neighbourhood hangout, for Burger & Brew from Monday to Thursday, or settle in over the easy-going à la carte menu and crafted drinks. With a relaxed atmosphere made for catching up, dining, and getting social, it’s an easy way to take a pool day straight into the evening.
Beyond pool days and Burger & Brew, September brings plenty more to the table at Distrikt Social, from the weekday Brain Break business lunch to unlimited tacos every Tuesday.
***NEW*** Poolside at Bloom
Pool days have officially arrived at Bloom Arjaan by Rotana, bringing a new way to spend a laid-back day on Saadiyat Island. With views over the neighbourhood, the hotel’s rimflow pool is made for everything from a few leisurely laps and a refreshing dip to claiming a lounger and settling in for an afternoon in the sun.
There’s more to the day than the pool, with adults also enjoying access to the sauna and outdoor whirlpool, while younger guests can make a splash in a dedicated children’s pool. Food and drinks from Distrikt Social can be ordered throughout the day too, bringing easy bites and refreshing sips straight to your lounger.
Price: AED 100 per adult; AED 50 for children aged 6 to12; complimentary for children under 6.
When: Adult pool: daily, 7am to 10pm; kids’ pool: daily, 9am to 6pm
Advance booking is recommended, with access subject to availability and facility capacity.
Brain Break Business Lunch
Lunch meetings don’t have to feel like work. Brain Break at Distrikt Social brings a more relaxed approach to the weekday business lunch, with a choice of starter and main served in Saadiyat Island’s neighbourhood hangout.
Start with the chef’s freshly prepared soup of the day before choosing from three salads: the bright and crunchy Yuzu Quinoa Crunch with romaine, cucumber, tomatoes and yuzu dressing; Golden Kale & Pumpkin with sun-dried tomatoes, almonds and roasted butternut pumpkin; or the Rocket & Pomegranate Glow with walnuts and a tangy sumac dressing. Guests can then power up their bowl with a choice of grilled beef, chicken al pastor or flaked salmon, accompanied by a drink of their choice.
Price: AED 70 for two courses and a choice of water, tea, Americano, espresso, or Cappuccino.
When: Monday to Friday, 12pm to 3pm
Burger & Brew Nights
With September bringing everyone back to busy schedules, Burger & Brew at Distrikt Social is an easy excuse to catch up over good food and a drink. Whether it’s a post-class get-together, an after-work bite or a casual evening with friends, the AED 99 offer pairs the restaurant’s signature Torched Burger with a pint of beer or glass of house wine.
A Distrikt Social crowd favourite, the Torched Burger stacks beef patties with cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, red onion, tomato and the signature DS secret sauce inside a brioche bun, served with fries on the side.
Price: AED 99 for a Torched Burger and a pint of beer or glass of house wine.
When: Monday to Thursday, 12pm to 11:45pm
Taco Tuesday
Tuesday plans are sorted at Distrikt Social, where unlimited tacos make a strong case for getting the group together. Settle in from 12pm to 10pm and keep the tacos coming, with a choice of beer or a margarita pitcher included alongside.
The line-up brings two favourites to the table: Baja Tacos loaded with tempura seabass, red and white cabbage, pickled cucumber, red onion, habanero mayo and avocado, and Chicken Tacos filled with pastor adobo chicken, pineapple relish and salsa roja for just the right amount of heat.
