Khalila is more than just a lounge or a cafe; it's a destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
Founded by chef and entrepreneur, Basma Elkhereiji, the goal was to provide guests with truly special and unforgettable experience, with the utmost privacy and exclusivity, whilst embracing and celebrating traditional Saudi culture and showcasing Hijazi flavours.
Home Away From Home
Khalila exhibits all the qualities of a member's only club - the exclusive access and the welcoming atmosphere, but most importantly, the privacy - in the surrounds of a modern Arabic-inspired interior, featuring sleek lines, warm colours, and luxurious furnishings.
Despite its exclusive nature and members-only access, Khalila has been created to feel like a home-away-from-home, where the staff know what you like to drink, where you prefer to sit and the time of day you will visit - before you even tell them. Hosting a welcoming and inviting atmosphere, the team at Khalila aim to make members and visitors feel calm and relaxed as soon as they enter. Whether you're working, having a business meeting, catching up with family or socialising with other members, Khalila is the ideal location.
As the lounge concept was developed by renowned chef and F&B legend, Basma Elkhereiji, you can be certain that the food will deliver on flavour, presentation and intrigue. The menu at Khalila offers a diverse selection of international cuisine, but maintains a strong focus on modern twists to traditional Arabic dishes. Guests can enjoy a variety of appetisers, mains, and desserts, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The lounge also serves a wide range of beverages, including mocktails, teas and coffee.
Unparalleled Exclusivity
Bringing an element of difference and ritzy privacy, access to Khalila is on an exclusive membership program-only basis. Embracing the sophisticated feels of private, members only clubs such as Soho House, Annabel's and The Arts Club, Khalila offers guests the same level of stylish ambiance, and exceptional service but with the Saudi Arabian guest front of mind.
Khalila fosters a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, after all, this is your second home. Ideal for daytime socialising, a quick escape from the humdrum of daily life or a lively evening with friends, listening to the music being pumped out by the regular resident DJs, Khalila aims to provide members with a unique balance.
While Khalila's membership programs offer guests unparalleled exclusivity and access to unique perks, the lounge itself is a destination worth exploring, particularly for those with a penchant for interior design. Created to mimic the much-loved comforts, textures and decor of a traditional Majlis, Khalila has a stylish and contemporary ambiance, adorned with exquisite Arabic-inspired furnishings, and views of the Jeddah Corniche that cannot be described.
