About Moonlight Investments
We are a Dubai-based hospitality group, established in 2022. We create, operate and manage homegrown concepts, starting with MYA.
Moonlight Investments specialises in hospitality management and concept development. Every brand is built from the ground up, with creative vision set on strong operational foundations. Our work spans lifestyle dining, franchise and café concepts, events and services to hotels.
Company background
Moonlight Investments was founded in Dubai in 2022. Our first venue, MYA Dubai, opened the same year on the first floor of The Dubai Mall, facing Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain.
From the start we built MYA as a brand rather than a single restaurant. The menu, the room, the service and the systems behind them were written down so they could be repeated.
That groundwork led to AMAYA Lounge Erbil in 2025 and AMAYA Baghdad in 2026. MYA Cafe Cairo opens in Mivida in January 2027. MYA Saudi, an underwater fine-dining concept and One Night MYA are in development. Qatar, Switzerland and London are coming soon.
Today we work across lifestyle dining, franchise and café formats, and we also run events and provide services to hotels. Every concept is homegrown, and every one is run with the same operational discipline.

Vision and mission
To be a distinguished hospitality group known for forward-thinking concepts, turning brands into thriving, scalable and sustainable businesses that raise the standard of modern hospitality.
To create, operate and grow homegrown hospitality concepts that pair creative vision with operational discipline, and to take them from Dubai to new markets with a consistent guest experience.
Business philosophy
We treat every venue as the first expression of a brand, not a one-off. A concept only counts when the operation behind it holds up on a busy night, so creative ideas and operating standards are planned together. Four stages guide each project, from the first idea to the next city.
Concept
We start with the guest and the market. Each concept gets a clear identity, a menu direction and a format that fits its city.
Design
Space, menu and service are planned together. The room has to work for guests and for the team running it.
Operations
Standards, training and systems are set before opening. That is what keeps the guest experience consistent from one venue to the next.
Growth
Once a concept proves itself, we take it further, through our own venues or with franchise partners in new markets.
