Whether you opt for a smoothie bowl beachside or a romantic dinner with an ocean view, nothing says summer like dining al fresco. Tuck into our Mediterranean offerings at Little Beach House Malibu, enjoy some Japanese food at Pen Yen on our Amsterdam Terrace, or combine the sea breeze with a traditional Paella at Little Beach House Barcelona for a summer experience you won’t forget.
Whether you’re flying solo, with friends or a special plus-one, here are a few of our favourite al fresco dining spaces for you to enjoy.
Little Beach House Malibu
The spot: Terrace
The order: Maine Lobster Pasta cooked in a spicy bisque sauce
On the shoreline overlooking the Pacific Ocean, head to our Malibu beach house where you can enjoy Aegean-inspired food in a tranquil setting. Relax into the evening with a glass of rosé and some locally sourced seafood, while the sight and sound of the waves are the perfect backdrop to your dinner.

Soho House Istanbul

The order: Lamb Chops, marinated in Greek oximeli and smoked aubergine salad
There’s nothing like a sunset to make your dinner taste that little bit better. Enjoy an evening on the Terrace of our Turkish House, where you’ll find our Apheleia restaurant and a view of Istanbul.

Little Beach House Barcelona
The spot: Beachroof
The order: Squid Ink Paella
After an appetite-building sea swim, the Beachroof at our coastal club in Barcelona is the best spot to enjoy your lunch. Get comfy on the cushioned seats, feel the breeze against your skin and sip on a Picante. And it only makes sense to order Paella for two or some tapas for a full Spanish experience.
