Creating an oasis of contemporary calm.
In 2016, the Jumeirah was set to launch an exciting new contemporary lifestyle brand to their hospitality portfolio, geared to a fundamentally different kind of guest - the millennial modern day traveller seeking a distinctive experience.
​
In VENU, the ambition was to create a bold, energetic and cosmopolitan brand.
​
We approached to bring this ambition to life.
So we sought to create a brand that spoke for itself - with a visual identity that would have been distinctive and engaging.
​
An energy that people would seek. A style that was effortless. And cool that was natural.
​
That's the atmosphere we had hoped to create at VENU.












It's all in the details:
Specially selected collaborations to create everything you need to look & feel your best poolside.





V Restaurant:
That culinary oasis

Hand-picked.
Perfectly curated.
Any way you want to call it - These namesake wines are the only ones you need.
