The venue draws inspiration from the historic Domus Aurea.

Dubai is home to a range of nightlife venues, from homegrown to international brands. Now, it is set to welcome a new venue, Domus. The opening date and location have not yet been confirmed, but here’s what we do know.

Domus will bring a touch of Rome to Dubai. The venue draws inspiration from ancient Rome, and will bring to life the grandeur of the Domus Aurea. Emperor Nemo built Domus Aurea, which is located on Oppian Hill, and was destroyed by a fire in 64 AD. Today, it remains a popular tourist destination in Rome.   

Domus aims to offer an immersive nightlife experience. Guests will be transported to the opulent days of ancient Rome, and the venue will pay tribute to the legacy of the site. Plus, it will be home to the Emperor’s Lounge, which includes a secluded haven and a nostalgic experience.

Domus is being created by the same group behind a range of restaurants. In Jeddah, La Cantinella will showcase food from Naples with a Saudi influence. The venue describes itself as offering a premium casual setting, and includes a bright, airy aesthetic with beiges, browns and whites. The full menu has not yet been unveiled, but we know that it will combine traditional cooking techniques with innovative ideas

In Abu Dhabi, YANA aims to offer a classy and contemporary dining experience. The menu will celebrate Pan Asian and Peruvian cuisine. The dishes will fuse the different regions’ cooking techniques and ingredients. The team draws inspiration from tradition and prides itself on its attention to detail. Plus, the group is behind Abu Dhabi’s James Café and the soon-to-open Nira.
