Spokesperson: Andrea Sartoris, General Manager, Dibba Bay Oysters

Dibba Bay Oysters combines premium quality with local heritage, sustainability, and global ambition. Under General Manager Andrea Sartoris, the brand is redefining gourmet aquaculture in the UAE—building with purpose, leading with heart, and always staying curious.

Purpose-Driven Gourmet Aquaculture

Andrea Sartoris was drawn to Dibba Bay Oysters by its authenticity and bold ambition. The farm produces a globally competitive oyster grown in Dibba’s pristine waters, all while honoring local identity and marine ecosystems. Consequently, the brand stands as a symbol of the UAE’s future in sustainable food security.

Market Strategy Locally & Internationally

Domestically, Dibba Bay Oysters has sharpened its commercial strategy with chef and hotel partnerships, culinary collaborations, and farm tours. Internationally, the brand now targets East Asia through optimized export operations, trade-show participation, and PR campaigns. Moreover, its 48-hour freshness promise gives Dibba Bay a distinct edge overseas.

Reef Creation: A Sustainability Initiative

Sustainability at Dibba Bay Oysters is foundational, not cosmetic. The Reef Creation Project deploys artificial reefs to regenerate biodiversity. Additionally, oysters act as natural biofilters, and the farming process uses no feed, antibiotics, or chemicals. Through scientific monitoring and pursuit of global certifications, the farm gives back more to the ocean than it takes.

Ensuring Freshness & Quality at Scale

A vertically integrated model lets Dibba Bay control every step, from harvest to dispatch. As a result, oysters reach most UAE customers within 24 hours and global hubs within 48 hours. Furthermore, advanced cold-chain logistics, frequent team training, and rigorous audits ensure that quality is consistently delivered.

Storytelling for Luxury Audiences

Storytelling is key for Michelin-starred chefs and premium venues. By inviting culinary partners to the farm and sharing Dibba Bay Oysters’ sustainability story, the brand creates emotional connections that elevate menu narratives and guest experiences.

Regional Challenges & Opportunities

Building awareness for oysters in a non-traditional market requires education on safety, service, and taste. However, the UAE’s rising culinary sophistication and drive for food self-sufficiency offer immense opportunities. First-mover advantage and government support position Dibba Bay Oysters to shape the region’s aquaculture landscape.

Leadership Values in Action

Andrea Sartoris champions clarity, consistency, and care. Cross-functional collaboration, open communication, and mentorship foster innovation and accountability. As a result, a shared purpose unites over 180 professionals, ensuring that Dibba Bay Oysters not only grows but thrives.

A celebration of the pet owners who stayed back, held on, and never let go.

Some things in life stay beautifully constant, and for many Dubai residents, that has been their pets. Through everyday routines, slow days, and everything in between, pet parents have built their lives around their four-legged companions in the most natural, heartwarming way. UBK at Mövenpick Jumeirah Lakes Towers is celebrating that bond with Paws & Pour, a feel-good gesture for guests who stayed in Dubai with their pets during the recent period of regional uncertainty.

Visit UBK, show a photo of you and your pet from the past two months in Dubai, and enjoy a complimentary non-alcoholic drink on the house every Sunday only from 12pm-12am. Just a simple cheers to a not-so-simple bond. Because UBK has always been proudly pet-friendly, especially with Paws & Play running Sunday to Thursday from 12pm to 7pm, where dogs are very much part of the vibe. Plus, guests can enjoy 30% off food and beverages while spending time with their furry plus-ones.

Paws & Pour is UBK doing what it does best, keeping things easy, welcoming, and full of personality. A little toast to loyalty, companionship, and the pets who make every day better just by being in it.
