The Groves officially opened its doors today (Wednesday) as part of Riyadh Season 2025, ushering in a new chapter of elegance and creativity in the heart of Al-Rafiah district. The garden transforms into a world-class destination blending cuisine, art, music, and nature, offering visitors a multi-sensory journey that celebrates refinement and imagination.
The opening day saw a large turnout of guests who enjoyed the diverse experiences across the venue, from international flavors and interactive performances to live music, reflecting the remarkable appeal Riyadh Season destinations continue to enjoy each year.
In its fourth edition, The Groves introduces an array of unique concepts, including “Gulnaz Khanum,” the first Persian dining experience born in Saudi Arabia, combining refined taste with cultural heritage; and “Haret Abu Issam,” which immerses visitors in a live theatrical setting inspired by the iconic Bab Al-Hara series, reviving the atmosphere of old Damascus.
The venue also features “Charlie Chonka” by Little Krazy, the first of its kind in the Kingdom, merging the world of desserts with interactive theatrical shows for families and children, and “ZodiaC Garden,” offering a blend of Italian and Japanese cuisine in a modern, zodiac-inspired setting.

Visitors can also enjoy vibrant live performances at “Zama Zulu”, where African and Asian flavors meet rhythmic beats, and authentic Neapolitan pizza at The Groves Pizzeria. Meanwhile, The Groves Village provides a refined outdoor shopping and leisure experience, Pick Your Kashta offers serene lakeside picnics, and Luca Park welcomes animal lovers to a dedicated pet-friendly space.
Through this launch, The Groves continues to reinforce its position as one of Riyadh Season’s most distinguished destinations, combining nature, luxury, and art to establish itself as a symbol of creativity and entertainment in the capital.
