Underwater Restaurant

Dubai, United Arab Emirates  ·  Destination fine dining

The Underwater Restaurant is a destination fine-dining concept in development by Moonlight Investments in Dubai. It takes its inspiration from Dubai's pearl-diving heritage.

Guests will dine in immersive underwater surroundings. The evening is planned as one journey, from arrival to the final course, with the setting as much a part of it as the food.

The idea

Fine dining below the surface

This is a different kind of project for the group. MYA venues are places people return to often. The Underwater Restaurant is planned as a destination, a dinner people plan a trip around.

The concept pairs immersive underwater surroundings with a fine-dining journey that is built to be experienced, not only eaten.

The heritage

Inspired by Dubai's pearl divers

Long before the skyline, Dubai lived from the sea, and pearl diving was at the centre of that life.

The concept takes that story underwater. The heritage is the starting point for the room, the menu and the way the evening unfolds.

The experience

Dinner as a journey

The evening is planned from the moment guests arrive to the final course. Room, menu and service are being designed together, so the night reads as one story.

Details on location, menu and opening will be shared when the project is confirmed.

Partnerships

Building the concept

Moonlight Investments is developing the concept in-house, the way it built MYA: a clear story first, then the operation to deliver it. Partners interested in the project can get in touch through the Partnerships page.
