5 Bedroom Apartment in La Mer, Jumeirah

Some places just have a different kind of calm about them and this five bedroom duplex apartment at La Voile in Port de La Mer in Jumeirah is one of those rare finds. The first time I stepped through the front door, the light coming in almost made me pause. There is an airiness you do not come across every day in Dubai. It is not just the views, which are pretty special by the way with the full skyline and wide blue stretch of the Arabian Gulf glimmering right outside. It is also the feeling of real space around you. It just feels like you can actually breathe here.

You move through the lower floor and you get that same sense of openness everywhere. The double living room is much bigger than you would expect even for a luxury apartment in Jumeirah and you can picture how easy it would be to gather family or friends for a long evening. I always judge a home by how it might feel with people laughing or kids playing and honestly this one invites that right away. Off to the side there is a cosier living corner close to the dining area, perfect for winding down with a cup of coffee or having those end of day chats. I tried out the kitchen cupboards myself and they really are deep and solid. If you cook or even if you just reheat takeaway, it feels like a kitchen you could use every day. The island in the middle is exactly where people will end up in the mornings grabbing toast or chatting about the day ahead, and with a breakfast counter at one end it is easy for everyone to drift in and out.

One of my favourite bits is the long terrace that wraps around almost the entire floor. If you like having Friday brunch outside or just sipping something in the sea air it becomes the best spot in the house. You can feel the Gulf breeze in the afternoon and sometimes all you hear are the seagulls. Guests will thank you for how convenient the powder room is and there is even a laundry room discreetly tucked away, which means the main spaces stay tidy. The maid's room is not forgotten either as it has its own bathroom which gives a bit of privacy and respect.

Upstairs, each of the five bedrooms has its own en suite and built in wardrobes which do not feel cramped at all. Everyone gets their space and if you have guests or family staying it just works without any fuss. The master bedroom is on another level size wise. It stretches out across one end of the upper floor with a huge walk in closet that you could almost use as another room. The best bit is definitely the upper terrace where I stood with a sea view that just goes on and on. It is peaceful even as the skyline glimmers at night and you can see boats passing during the day. You have another big upstairs living room too, which is perfect for movie nights or a bit of reading if you need some quiet.

Living here in La Voile you get the little day to day perks as well. The waterfront promenade outside is the sort of place you will find yourself using more than you thought for morning runs or evening walks with the family. Kids can run around and the coffee shop is close enough that grabbing a takeaway latte is never a hassle. Amenities include a proper gym and a bright outdoor pool terrace plus if you are into boating the marina is right there and always feels lively. The private beach is actually quiet and I have found myself stopping there just to watch the water for a while. Honestly you almost forget you are right in the middle of Dubai.
