Ibiza beach club El Chiringuito's Dubai outpost shuts its doors at Rixos the Palm

Ibiza's ‘El Chiringuito’ has shut its doors after a year and a half in operation. The beach club opened in March 2017 at Dubai's Rixos the Palm hotel. 

The announcement was made on the brand’s Instagram page, released by The Crystal Group, the outlet's operating company.

It said: “El Chiringuito and The Crystal Group have made the difficult decision to terminate their franchise agreement immediately.”

The venue is the second to close in Dubai in September. London concept Mahiki, which was located in Jumeirah Beach Hotel, also shut down in the same month after seven years in operation.  In July, after two years in operation, Little Black Door in the Conrad Dubai also permanently closed. It follows on from a number of bar and restaurant closures in Dubai,  including Hakkasan at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, and Left Bank and The Agency in Souk Madinat Jumeirah.
