Whether it’s a bike ride in Al Qudra, a book club in Barsha, or a game of beach volleyball on Kite Beach, Dubai has established dozens of micro communities that mesh the city and its international residents together.
The Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar aims to encourage these beautiful communities by acting as a welcoming space for clubs to congregate and enable their members to create connections. Many of Dubai’s members’ clubs don’t own a permanent meeting space and therefore seek inviting venues in the city where they can continue their good work.
With four restaurants in Dubai and one in Abu Dhabi, The Lighthouse presents versatile options for those who wish to host engaging get-togethers, intimate screenings, curated dinners, informative workshops, or thought-provoking panel discussions. In Dubai, The Lighthouse can be found at Dubai Design District, Dubai Hills Business Park, Nakheel Mall and Mall of the Emirates with another venue in the nation’s capital at Yas Bay Waterfront.
Stylish, spacious, and flooded with natural light, The Lighthouse is an immediately welcoming environment that generates an atmosphere of tranquility. Thoughtful interior design, conversation-starting pieces in the cafe’s concept store, a health-minded menu of delicious dishes, and excellent speciality coffee further increase the feeling of positivity, as do The Lighthouse’s friendly team members who greet guests with warmth.
With art, design and books a common theme in the five venues, The Lighthouse lends itself to meet-ups for communities who reside in the wellness, creative and cultural sectors. For example, The Nadi is a popular club with curated monthly programmes for adults of all ages who are curious to try a new hobby. Pickleball, supper clubs and bingo nights are just a few of the ways The Nadi builds bonds between open-minded people in Dubai. For business leaders, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers, meanwhile, 1833 is an exclusive club that invites collaboration, unity and open dialogue among its members.
Hundreds of thousands of intrepid people flock to Dubai every year with a dream and an ambition to create a new life in a country that is growing at a remarkable speed. Ready to extend a warm welcome to newcomers from all corners of the globe are kind-hearted Dubai residents and their clubs who are invited by The Lighthouse to nurture this evolving scene that is fuelled by the desire of people to connect.
