In collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), Casablanca is set to bring its signature old-world elegance and distinctive design identity to life with the Casablanca Tennis Club at Ilios Restaurant & Beach Club, Al Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi from 1 to 7 February. This unique event is the first of its kind for the Maison in the Middle East and is exclusive to Abu Dhabi.
This conceptual retail experience is inspired by the timeless sport of tennis and the design codes of tournament courts, embodied with the essence of Casablanca’s DNA. The court serves as a centerpiece for the club, drenched with vibrant pastel colours offset with the striking white court lines.
Ilios Restaurant & Beach Club, the private beach club in Abu Dhabi, sets the perfect stage, where each day celebrates the art of living well. Guests can unwind in chic luxury, enjoying the effortless flow of playful moments amidst sun-kissed waves.
The Casablanca Tennis Club will also feature a specially created menu which will be available to Ilios’ guests between 1 and 7 February. Signature dishes will include Langoustine Pasta and Wagyu Beef, whilst the Casablanca Juice Bar serves refreshing blends such as the Butterfly Matcha—a rosemary-infused matcha tea with butterfly pea, ginger, and agave.
For the duration of the Casablanca Tennis Club, visitors can experience free-to-book 60-minute ‘Turn Up & Play’ tennis sessions and complimentary 45-minute ‘Juice and Learn’ workshops hosted by professionals from the Global Tennis Academy. Guests can also attend a rejuvenating ‘Sunset Stretch’ class hosted by Motion Cycling, which can be booked via https://www.casablancatennis.club/. Additionally, the tennis courts will be available to the public to book for a truly unforgettable experience.
Attendees can enjoy fresh juices and shop Casablanca’s signature pieces at a pop-up store created by the brand’s UAE retail partner – Tryano – featuring the Casablanca’s latest spring/summer 2025 capsule collection. The sportswear-inspired silhouettes draw inspiration from the revered sport as well as a host of influences from the Los Angeles inspired collection, ‘Can’t Get Enough’.
“At Casablanca, we are always looking at the beauty of the world—through architecture, culture and the elegance of sport. Creating the Casablanca Tennis Club in Abu Dhabi during the tennis open is a natural extension of this vision, blending luxury with the energy of the game, the warmth of the city, and the spirit of movement.” – Charaf Tajar, Founder and Creative Director, Casablanca
“It is an honour to collaborate with Casablanca Paris to exclusively debut the brand’s latest tennis-inspired spring/summer 2025 capsule collection to Abu Dhabi and the region. This vibrant conceptual retail experience is a true celebration of fashion, elegance and play, and fortifies Abu Dhabi’s ties with the global fashion and sports communities.”- Noura Al Foulathi, the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO)
