Take Note, This Is Going to be Your Next Place to Chill

In the middle of New Delhi lies a calm oasis… The D’MONDE Members Club is one-of-its-kind, while Delhi might house many clubs, this one is a class apart. The club offers a wide range of amenities and individualised member services. While this might be the norm for all clubs, Meraj Khan, Founder of D’MONDE Members Club believes in selling a lifestyle, a vibe that none of us can help but want to relish in.

He tellsManifestin a candid conversation that “D’MONDE, originally is a hospitality company which is based in France. The word is a French term that translates to Du Monde which is living an artful life and also means 'from the world'."

“Here we are trying to manifest a life that’s artful and the word is befitting because it explains our worldly globetrotter members”, he laughs and tells us as he overlooks the pristine swimming pool in front of Café D’MONDE. He says, “This is where I want to be. This is my favourite place in the whole wide world.” It’s only befitting because the considers every part of one’s lifestyle… Offering a beauty salon, Turkish Hammam, swimming pool, and fitness and wellness centre that customises wellness programmes to suit your requirements.

The club features two upscale eating options: AT D’MONDE restaurant and Café D’MONDE which will satisfy your appetite and taste palette like no other. What’s more? You can participate in exclusive retail opportunities and events held behind closed doors in partnership with luxury, lifestyle, beauty, and wellness companies.

You walk into the club, and you will feel a sense of calm… As if the world has stopped for a brief moment and that’s exactly what Meraj wants to cater to.

Skillfully blending leisure and entertainment, Meraj adds, “ Our goal isn't just about individual aspects like wellness, luxury, or health. It's about creating a whole environment and experience that makes you feel like your life is different... D’MONDE is trying to bring a positive change in the way you experience life. That's what truly matters to me.”

For young couples or even newlyweds in the Capital, it is the best place to be where you can spend little pockets of time, unwind and make new memories. But wondering why you should opt for a membership to an invitation-only club? And what should you keep in mind? We asked that question for you and Meraj answered. “Having both founded and belonged to membership clubs, I can offer some key points to consider when investing in a membership. The things that matter most to me as a member are the quality of service.

Think top-notch hospitality throughout the club, they should align with your interests and be readily available. Location is key too, because ideally the club should feel like an extension of your daily life, hence convenience is crucial.” He further adds that while a solid membership might make for a fruitful escape, what’s also important to consider is the people you’ll be surrounded by. Something that’s often overlooked when deciding the club you want to join. “A vibrant community is essential. You want to feel a sense of belongingness and connect with like-minded people. There should be a good fit between members for comfortable interaction.”

All this and more is offered by D’MONDE because everything is conveniently located under one roof. The world of D’MONDE believes in combining art, food, music, fashion and sport to create a unique lifestyle and a culture that can only be found here. “Our club offers a home away from home experience. The key is feeling secure and completely at ease like you would in your own home. Couples can enjoy privacy and relaxation, without feeling observed. We prioritise this sense of comfort… Beyond security and privacy, we pamper our members and offer services like couples' massages and create an environment where everything is designed for them to enjoy activities together.”

Activities such as Pilates, aerial yoga, and aqua yoga can be enjoyed by couples. Additionally, if you and your partner are keen on having a quiet time, then the club offers private sessions, couple's spa therapies, and exclusive experiences like the Turkish Hammam. Meraj says, “This allows you to enjoy activities typically reserved for vacations regularly, even on weekends. Extensive research and ongoing improvisation led to incorporating these experiences. The core idea is to curate a space that caters to individual preferences, constantly evolving to meet member needs.”

Safe to say that the D’MONDE Members Club has everything under one roof—hospitality, opulence, aspirations et al. Upon asking what’s next on Meraj's plate, he shares that they are planning to open more clubs in UAE, London, and Paris in the next two to three years. The reasons, once again—to cater the best… He concludes, “D’MONDE has a unique and personal expression that we want to expand to other cities of the world. That's how we want to connect our members so that they experience the same benefits across the globe.”
