History

Since the early nineteenth century, the park has long been a place of gathering for trading communities which flourished. The prosperity of the traders is represented by Alkaff Mansion, an elegant colonial bungalow built by an Arab trader and is previously a place for grand parties of the social elite.[1] The Alkaff Mansion is today a multi-concept F&B destination housing TXA Pintxo Bar, Wildseed Café and UNA – each distinct and operating at a different time across the day and night, Monday to Sunday. Each expected to be award-winning. 1-Group, the creators of the Mansion, has evoked the glamorous golden years of the Basques and Spanish in the building's new interior and food concepts, and set it amidst a lush tropical landscape and perched above the Grounds of Alkaff, a 100,000 sqft of courtyard, trees and (soon to be included) conservatories. When visiting the Southern Ridge and its various parks, The Alkaff Mansion is a mandatory stop-over spot for drinks, breakfast, brunch and lunch.
