Mare by Bussola

Mare by Bussola brings the character of the Italian Riviera to the waterfront at The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina. Positioned in Dubai Marina, the venue combines a seaside setting with a polished yet relaxed lounge style, creating a space shaped by coastal dining, Mediterranean flavours and the easy pace of a beach resort.

The food centres on Italian and Mediterranean cooking, with seafood playing a prominent role. The menu draws from the waters and coastlines of the region, with dishes built around fresh seafood, vegetables, potatoes, olive oil and other familiar Mediterranean ingredients. The overall approach suits diners looking for a meal that feels connected to the sea rather than a formal Italian restaurant experience.

Drinks follow the same coastal direction. Mare serves cocktails inspired by destinations around the Mediterranean, alongside regional wines and Mediterranean spirits. The drinks selection gives the lounge a natural fit for relaxed daytime refreshments, sunset drinks or a longer meal beside the marina. The setting provides a seaside view, while the surrounding resort adds a pool and beach atmosphere to the experience.

Mare also offers food and drink occasions beyond a standard lunch or dinner. Breakfast brings an Italian Riviera theme to the morning, while the Sunday brunch takes inspiration from the Amalfi coast. These formats add variety for visitors seeking a slower weekend meal, a social gathering or a resort-based dining experience. The venue’s lounge character keeps the mood informal enough for casual plans while retaining a considered presentation.

The location makes Mare a practical choice for visitors already spending time around Mina Seyahi, Dubai Marina and the Westin resort complex. It can also suit a coastal stop for travellers crossing Dubai, including visitors making the journey from Abu Dhabi for a beachside meal or drinks. The venue is best matched with occasions that call for Mediterranean food, seafood, cocktails and a waterfront resort setting without the formality of fine dining.

Access is limited to guests aged 16 and above, giving Mare a clearly adult-oriented character. The combination of Italian Riviera styling, seaside surroundings and Mediterranean food makes the venue distinct from a conventional hotel restaurant. Mare by Bussola works particularly well for leisurely breakfasts, seafood-focused meals, Sunday brunches and drinks that continue into the evening.
