Catch up with friends in the chic surrounds of Al Soor (known as La Chocolaterie of Kuwait), relax in air-conditioned cabanas by the infinity pool, ascend to a buzzing rooftop and wander the lush adjacent parkland. And with the city’s malls and souks within a few minutes’ drive, you can experience all the spoils of the city without spoiling your precious relaxation time.
