One of the zones of the Riyadh Season 2021 is The Groves. It promises a place to enjoy nature with its green, calm surroundings, chill at high-end restaurants and shops, and watch dreamy and energetic performances. And it’s right in the heart of the Diplomatic Quarter.
The Groves truly reflects its name: a group of trees. The Groves in the DQ has lush greenery and gardens where guests can spend time listening to the calming sounds of fountains, chirping birds, and the delicate sound of fine utensils from the restaurants. The Groves logo also embodies the elements of nature: air, water, fire, and earth, with each element symbolizing what The Groves has to offer. Water for relaxation, fire for action and attractions, earth for food, and air for memories.
While the other zones have more vibrant, energy-filled activities, The Groves is filled with pleasant, unique experiences. The House is an elite zone with high-end services such as an outdoor valet lounge where you can socialize with your friends. Shop exclusive fashion collections at the Fashion and Passion, where most sought after local and international designers showcase their creations. Join the range of art workshops of INTO; learn how to make soaps and candles and paint pottery and glass. After a busy day, pamper yourself at Milk and Butter Spa where the finest and most luxurious spa services are. Your pet dogs are also welcome at Lucaland, the first dog park in Saudi Arabia. The zone is 100% for all dog lovers.
A visit to The Groves is not complete without having a meal in one of the fine dining restaurants. An afternoon high tea experience of the finest teas, scones, jams, and finger food awaits at Birds of Eden. Open your eyes with the wonderful pairing of Italian and Japanese cuisines at GEM.IN.I while taste the Spanish flavors of 100% Saudi brand El Lechazo. Their tender and succulent roasted lamb sounds promising. The Groves is located in an area overlooking the wadi and what better way to savor the view and the wonderful winter weather than drinking warm drinks under palm trees at Al Jalsa by Kooz Karak.
There are several performances in The Groves at night from pianists, ballet dancers, latin dance acts, and the Malambo percussionists. Various dramatic and energetic rhythms can be heard and felt in The Groves.
