Aura Mayfair was a nightclub located on St James's Street in Mayfair, London.

In 2010, Tony Fernandes led a consortium that took over the club.[1] The club was owned by Merlot 73 Ltd, in which Fernandes had a 30% stake, and run by Alberto Barbieri.[1][2]

Notable guests included Rihanna, James Arthur, Drake, Ne-Yo, Tamara Ecclestone and Usher.[1][2][3] In January 2011, Madonna was rumoured to be buying into the club after numerous visits and meetings with owners.[4]

Merlot 73 Ltd went into liquidation and was dissolved on 27 July 2016. [5]
