Loop Design Studio: Melia is with the untamed pulse of the wild. The cocktail bar exudes an aura of mystery and allure, bathed in dim, atmospheric lighting that allows shadows to play across every surface while light lingers in corners, creating an ever-shifting dance of form and space. Draped in a fusion of materials, the interior tells an intricate tale, each element chosen to evoke a sense of wonder. The bar’s foundation is a seamless marriage of polished wood and cool marble, grounding the space in a sense of understated elegance and refined simplicity. The marble floor, beneath your feet, is an artful tapestry of intricate patterns—two Indian stones entwined in a tactile, almost mystical fabric—capturing your gaze and making each step feel like a journey into a world of sensory indulgence.

The space is an eclectic celebration of textures, with bohemian prints woven throughout the design, complemented by abstract tribal art that seems to pulse with life. The walls hum with a jungle disco aura, as if the very spirit of nature has been lured into this sanctuary by the intoxicating rhythm of vivid colours and bold textures. Art is everywhere—vibrant, exuberant, and unapologetically bold. Each piece demands attention, its presence amplified by its disco flair, as it celebrates the wildest, most carefree hues of life.

Every surface serves as a canvas, every detail in the room a conversation between sophistication and revelry, a delicate balance between refinement and abandon. While modernity quietly hums beneath the surface in the sleek lines and minimalist design of the furniture, Melia thrives on the energy of its wild, bohemian heart. It is a cocktail bar where the rhythm of the space is one of both calm elegance and riotous celebration, offering a layered, dynamic experience where refinement coexists with the untamed spirit of joy and liberation.
