Desert Rock’s six restaurants and bars take guests on a journey through culinary creativity and traditional techniques. At Nyra, led by chef Osman Sezener, renowned for his Michelin-starred restaurants in Turkey, the focus is on the primal artistry of wood-fire cooking in a celebration of the bounty of sea and land. Mica offers soft mocktails and bites inspired by Nyra’s cuisine, modern Indian flavours are on the menu at Basalt, and chic poolside oasis Wadi is the place for Peruvian dishes. The Library is a calming spot for tea and coffee accompanied by breathtaking views, and perched at the highest point of the resort, The Observatory is a secret sanctuary for post-dinner lounging beneath starry skies.
