Tashas Group launches new beachside concept Bungalo34 on Pearl Jumeirah Island

Bungalo34 is the first beachside dining concept by restaurateur Natasha Sideris, Founder and CEO of Tashas Group located on Pearl Jumeira Island.

Combining the unobstructed seaside views of the Arabian Gulf the design of Bungalo34 revisits the golden age of a bygone era. “Bungalo34 is a project very dear and close to my heart. Inspired by my hidden haven in the Greek Riviera, I wanted to bring the same essence to this venue and create an escape for my guests. A place where they can spend long afternoons with their family and friends, sharing beautiful food and creating memorable moments in a calm secluded location with stunning views,” Sideris stated.

Paying homage to European coastal regions, the menu at Bungalo34 encompasses true Mediterranean cuisine. Designed and curated by Sideris and culinary director Jill Okkers, the classic menu brings a touch of Greece, France and Italy, onto each plate. Beverage Director Krystian Hordejuk has carefully curated refreshments that complete the picture of a Mediterranean summer feeling. 

To encapsulate the true essence of each Riviera, Sideris has collected and dressed the venue with handpicked pieces she found during her travels to Greece, France and Italy. From the one-of-a-kind lifestyle collectables to coral-inspired textured tiles, her incredible eye for detail is a reflection of Bungalo34.

Working closely with Neydine Bak of Verhaal Studio, Natasha’s clear vision was brought to life, transforming a space into an elegant beachside dining experience with an air of easiness and soul. The iconic design, playful artworks and reflective surfaces capture movement and personality within each detail. The use of bold colours, deep orange and dirty blue with rich veneers. The flooring in the main dining area is a play on a 70s wall-to-wall bedroom carpet, a cheeky nod to the plush lifestyle of a rockstar. Fully exposed to the ocean view, unfilled travertine columns, backlit glass and low ceilings create intimate spaces with warm hues. Bungalo34 seeks to be a soulful home filled with memories and moments for a complete escape.

Serving up style with Collective Africa at the Beach, Bunglo34 will also provide a unique retail experience for guests offering a wide range of beachwear and lifestyle pieces hand-picked by Nicky Greig, the founder. The retail space celebrates a glamorous, unique, stylish continent. Their curated range of luxury products at this location will be inspired by the beach and the sea offering one of a kind designer clothing, handmade accessories, beach bags and swimwear as well as curated objects from Ardmore and Donald Greig inspired by Africa, collected from around the world.
