5 Bedroom Penthouse in Banyan Tree Residences Hillside Dubai, Jumeirah Lake Towers

Sometimes you walk into a place and it makes you stop for a second. That is what happened to me at this five bedroom penthouse in Banyan Tree Residences Hillside Dubai. It sits out over Jumeirah Lake Towers, but honestly once you are in here it feels more like you are above it all. The first thing I noticed was just how much space you get. This is not your everyday penthouse. We are talking about a full floor that stretches out across twelve thousand square feet. Four and a half meter high ceilings make every room feel extra open. You really do notice it the minute you step off the lift. And the light pours in from all directions because the windows just keep going. Floor to ceiling in every direction. Sometimes you have to just go stand by the glass and take in the views because Dubai's skyline is right there staring back at you.

This is not a finished home yet so what you see now is just the start. It is what people call 'shell and core' which means the fun part is waiting for you. You can actually design it with your own architect or lean on Banyan Tree's own design team. If you imagine an open plan kitchen somewhere you would actually chop and cook and laugh with your friends while you make coffee you can have that here. Want a family den or a private study or maybe a little gym off the terrace you can do that. I keep thinking about how you could open up whole sections to the outside because those terraces are honestly huge. Out there you just get air and sky and the view sweeps around in every direction. One of the coolest things though is this cantilevered infinity pool deck. I walked the edge and you almost forget there is anything below you. It just feels like you are floating above the city.

I like that the designers here keep things natural. The finishes if you go with what Banyan Tree suggests are proper quality. Oak floors real stone and brands you probably know like Siemens and Smeg. Bathrooms with clean lines and fixtures from Grohe and Villeroy and Boch. It does not feel flashy. It feels genuinely good. And the best thing is you can really make it your own.

Banyan Tree Residences keeps things pretty calm and grown up. There is a full clubhouse here where you can actually hang out. The pool deck feels quiet most days because there is so much space for everyone. If you are feeling lazy the poolside cafe will sort your coffee. And the fitness center is big enough that you do not have to wait for a treadmill. Spa on site any time you want to switch off for a bit. I met the Director of Residences and yes that is a real job here so if something comes up you actually have a face to put to the name. The building also has a proper concierge team twenty four hours. I get a sense that the residents look out for each other but mostly keep to themselves in a friendly way.

You are tucked right next to Emirates Hills so it feels private. If you play golf at all the courses are almost next door. You see kids biking around the green spaces in the evenings sometimes and the Banyan Tree gardens have a way of making you feel far from the city even when Downtown is just down the road. Getting to Jumeirah Lake Towers is easy and keeps you close to proper restaurants and good coffee shops. Whether you want a morning around the greens or a last minute shopping run you are in the right place.

Honestly with a place like this the best thing is the freedom. You get to shape the whole thing so it feels like home from day one. The only way to know if it feels right for you is to actually walk through and see it at your own pace. If you want to come take a look or just ask a few questions you can reach out any time.
