A new era of dining and entertainment has finally arrived in Dubai Marina with the opening of District 8, a multi-concept destination where culinary artistry, vibrant nightlife, and immersive experiences converge. Unveiling three extraordinary venues under one stunning roof — Blume, Rodina, and Luxuria — District 8 is set to redefine the way Dubai lives, dines, and celebrates.
Blume, a haven of lush greenery and globally inspired flavours, is where nature and gastronomy intertwine, drawing inspiration from the historic Silk Road, creating a narrative that celebrates diverse cultures. From sunlit breakfasts to glowing sunsets, its lush botanical décor and expansive Marina-view terrace create the ideal setting for any moment.
The menu boasts over 100 dishes, blending Mediterranean classics, Japanese delicacies, and international favourites. Staying true to its garden-to-table philosophy, many herbs are grown on-site, and produce is sourced from nearby local farms. Menu highlights include the signature ‘Herb-Roasted Lamb,’ delicately infused with rosemary from Blume’s own garden, and the freshly stone oven baked ‘Truffle Pizza’. To complete the experience, an exceptional beverage menu and artisanal shisha flavours set the stage for unwinding under the stars.
Rodina, meaning “Motherland” in Russian, transports guests to the architectural wonders of Moscow, paying homage to the Russian aristocratic culture. Inspired by the grandeur of the iconic beauty of Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the space radiates timeless elegance. The authentic fine-dining menu, created by award-winning celebrity chef Viktor Beley, reimagines Russian classics—from the indulgent truffle-laced “Moscow Pelmeni” to the Olivier salad elevated with Oscietra caviar. Signature cocktails like the “Nutcracker“, a decadent blend of rum, caramelized pecan, and banana foam, and the “Dostoevsky“, featuring porcini gin and Campari, are as inventive as they are refreshing.
As night falls over Dubai Marina, Luxuriatakes the stage – blending high-energy entertainment with exquisite dining. This Russian karaoke lounge is designed to impress, with sleek modern interiors, plush seating, and vibrant lighting that brings the space to life.With a packed lineup of 30 unique shows, from international and Russian artists to stand-up comedy acts, Luxuria ensures no two nights are ever the same. With its dazzling champagne shows and an array of exquisite dishes, including the “Golden Maki” sushi and luxurious caviar, the must-visit venue elevates every evening to something truly special. Combining world-class dining with showstopping entertainment, Luxuria ensures each visit leaves a lasting impression.
Created by the Alex Investment Group, the vision behind District 8 is to create a cultural hub that brings together the best of gastronomy, design, and entertainment. With its three distinct concepts, District 8 offers something for every taste and occasion.
