4-Bedroom Penthouse for Sale in Balqis Residence 2, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai

Some homes just slow you down a little the first time you walk in. This four bedroom penthouse at Balqis Residence 2 on Palm Jumeirah made me want to stay a while and just listen to the quiet for a second. The light filters across marble floors as you step inside, and really, there is something about those first few moments when you look up and realise the Arabian Gulf is almost everywhere you look. If you are an early riser, the sunrise out there is hard to ignore. Late afternoons, everything turns gold and sometimes you kind of forget you are still in Dubai.

This is a duplex penthouse that sits across two levels, so it feels open in a way most apartments do not. The living and dining spaces do not seem to demand anything from you. Whether it is a quiet Wednesday night with a takeaway or a Saturday with friends filling up the sofa, the mood adjusts with you. There are smart controls for lighting and music and even temperature, so you can make things just how you like with just a quick tap. You have a proper kitchen here too, not just a place to toss in leftovers or store snacks. The island is massive and really does invite you to lay out breakfast or maybe even give baking a try. Tucked just behind is a scullery which, honestly, is a lifesaver when you do not want to see any mess trailing into the social spaces.

Each bedroom feels tucked away and peaceful. The master suite got to me a bit, maybe because you can just step out onto your own balcony and breathe in the sea air without even changing out of pyjamas. The walk in wardrobe is actually big enough for real life, and the ensuite… well, that tub looks made for staying in a bit too long with a book. Every bedroom has its own bathroom, so everyone can take their time in the mornings. You could easily turn one space into a home office if that suits you, or a gym, or keep it ready for family visiting. Speaking of keeping life easy, the entry is all keyless which speaks to some sort of everyday magic. You come and go without ever patting your pockets or bags looking for keys.

The terrace feels almost like a second living room. Sometimes I think it is the best spot here. There is a temperature controlled pool that is just right for floating on a quiet day without heading out to the beach unless you want to, which you can, because you've got private beach access as a resident. The BBQ and dining area makes dinner outside feel just as simple as eating indoors and, with the retractable pergola, you do not really have to worry about the sun. There is a fully kitted out gym too, so you can keep your routine without leaving home, or just enjoy the rare silence while you stretch out in the mornings.

Out the front door, Palm Jumeirah is truly one of those addresses where life feels a little less rushed, but everything you want is still close. Some of Dubai's best restaurants and shops are only a few minutes away, but most days you may not want to leave. The boardwalk is just there for evening walks and, often enough, you catch kids riding their bikes before dinner time and neighbours out with their dogs. Concierge service means little things get taken care of for you. Honestly, it just feels easy.

The place is not furnished but it has been upgraded and the layout leaves enough space for your own taste. The maids room is out of the way but useful, especially if family comes to stay for a while. At six thousand three hundred and eighty two square feet, you never really feel boxed in at all and the views are panoramic which you probably will not ever get tired of. That is what makes a penthouse like this different. Sometimes you almost forget your phone.

If you want to see whether it feels right for you, just ask. There is no way to know until you are here, looking out at the water yourself. Reach out whenever you like. At LuxuryProperty.com, we try to make your next move feel as comfortable as possible.
