About Business Bay: the back story
Business Bay lines the Dubai Water Canal just south of Downtown. The Lana stands on Marasi Drive by the Marasi Bay marina, and the canal boardwalk leads towards the coast.
The Lana
The Lana’s Dior Spa, Bitter Honey bar and Riviera by Jean Imbert are open to non-residents by booking.
Walk the canal at sunset.
Our advice: cocktails at Bitter Honey, then a canal walk.
