Al Mahara,’The Oyster Shell’ in Arabic, offers a dining experience that stimulates all your senses. The stunning floor to ceiling aquarium inside the restaurant sets the scene for a meal where only the best will do. Sink into the soft seats and be mesmerised by the world of colourful sea life swimming beside your table, while our team of award-winning chefs prepare you something very special from the freshest ingredients. The selection of fine wines perfectly complements Al Mahara’s mouth-watering seafood and other delicious dishes.
“Castello d’Albola is a true representation of what Chianti is about – finesse, perfume, freshness and a great partner for fine food or a glass of wine in the afternoon. Rocca di Montemassi, a youngster that is pushing to break loose, will soon be among the top pretenders for the Super Tuscan title.”
