4 bedroom penthouse in The Opus, Business Bay

Some homes just have a way of pulling you in before you even realize it. This four bedroom penthouse at The Opus in Business Bay did exactly that the first time I walked in. Up here you are so high above the city that Dubai almost feels quiet for a change. Light slants across the marble floors and honestly you will just want to pause for a bit by the window because the views are so good. You get the full sweep from the sparkling coastline right over to the Burj Khalifa glinting in the sunlight. It is the sort of panorama you only really get once in Dubai and you can see everything, day and night.

One thing about The Opus, you really do notice Zaha Hadid's touch all over. The way the walls curve and the ceilings have this soft wave, you kind of almost catch yourself tracing the lines with your eyes. No sharp corners or cold glass everywhere either, which is rare for modern buildings. When you come into the living and dining area, it feels open and relaxed, not just formal for show. Sometimes penthouses look a bit too snazzy and you cannot see yourself just flopping on the sofa for movie night. Here it just feels easy. Even the kitchen is different. It is not just there to look pretty. It feels like a place where people actually cook. There is this big island in the middle, solid marble, and top quality European appliances that seem to melt into the design. Half the time you forget they are there until you start pulling out pans. If you like inviting friends round for dinner or you are just the type to throw together a midnight snack once in a while, you will see how naturally it all fits together.

Being up this high means the terraces become an everyday thing, not just a box to tick. There are four of them and every single one gives you a different slice of Dubai. I found myself stepping out just to breathe in that air and watch the skyline. In the evenings, especially, it is something special. The city starts to glow and you get the colors changing over the towers, all violets and greys. Sometimes you really do just want to turn off your phone and sit still. If you have a taste for gardening there is more than enough room to go all out, or you can simply get some loungers in and enjoy a coffee in the morning. What stands out is the privacy. Each terrace has its own vibe, no peeking neighbors or echoing city noise.

The bedrooms are the kind of spaces where you actually want to stay a while. The master is big but not in a cold way, thanks to those high ceilings and natural light. Having a true walk in closet means you are never short of space. The ensuite bath is fully set up for proper relaxation, with both a big soaking tub and a bright glass shower. After a long day in Dubai, this is the sort of thing that makes it feel like home. The three guest bedrooms are away from the main living zone so people can have their own space. Every room opens right out to the terraces as well so if you feel like catching the sunrise or just having a peaceful moment, it is right there.

Another thing that makes this penthouse stand out is how private it is. The elevator brings you straight to your foyer so no long hallways or crowded entries. If you have a few cars or just like the sense of space, the climate controlled garage is tucked away below, safe and handy. Coming home at The Opus always feels calm.

Life in Business Bay has its perks. Downstairs you find little coffee spots for a morning espresso and boutiques if you like browsing. The gym and pool actually get sunshine and do not pack up with crowds. There is a relaxing spa area too. If you ever get the urge to eat out, ME Dubai hotel is right inside the building so you can grab a good meal or see what is happening in the evenings. Sometimes you see families down in the plaza or people heading out for a stroll and it all just feels like part of city life.

Really, the only way to know if it is your kind of space is to come by and see for yourself. If anything has you curious or you want a proper walk through, just reach out.
