What about tomorrow?
Buddha-Bar was opened in 1996 with a concept based on a unifying philosophy – to create a living space offering various experience. Thus, the guest is immersed in different yet complementary atmospheres such as the relaxing lounge area, the culinary pleasures from the restaurant and the good music vibes distilled by resident DJs.
After gaining an international reputation, Buddha-Bar extended its concept in 2005 with the creation of an establishment in Dubai that marked the beginning of a bold adventure from Kiev to Monte-Carlo, Marrakech and Paris. In 2019, fifteen Buddha-Bar outlets throughout the world have opened their doors, without even including the sister concepts: Buddha-Bar Beach (Mykonos, Morocco, Santorini, Baku, Maldives, Mauritius and Abu Dhabi) and venues (Bushido by Buddha-Bar, Barfly by Buddha-Bar, Siddharta Lounge by Buddha-Bar, Karma Kafe by Buddha-Bar, Little Buddha by Buddha-Bar).
