1 bedroom apartment in Aeternitas Tower, Dubai Marina

Some places just catch you off guard the second you step inside. That is what happened to me with this one bedroom apartment in Aeternitas Tower, right in Dubai Marina. I stood there leaning gently against the big window for a minute and let my eyes wander from Palm Jumeirah stretched out on the horizon over to the blue ripple of the Arabian Sea and then across to the spire of the Burj Khalifa. It really is that sort of home where the outside feels like an extra room.

You have got about 890 square feet here and it actually feels a bit bigger because of how the light comes in. Honestly, some studios feel cramped but here you just get this lovely airy sense where you can settle in and just breathe out after a busy day. The main bedroom has those wardrobes that you will not need to hide behind doors. Someone thought about making them look beautiful. I actually ran my hand along one just to feel the finish and you notice the care that has gone in. The bathrooms are not just bathrooms. They are properly done. The sort of space where you would linger at the end of the day. With two you have the ease of not having to rush or queue. Small things really do make a difference.

And if you are into cooking, you will notice right away the Siemens appliances in the kitchen. I know a lot of places throw in a fancy brand and forget about it but here it is not just showy. The layout feels like it is meant to be used. I could see myself making real food here not just takeout. There is space to have a friend or two over and actually talk to them while you stir something on the stove. Plus with the views you might find yourself just making tea and standing by the window even on a regular weeknight.

Now the Aeternitas Tower itself is a bit of a landmark. You will see people stopping on the street just to look up at that Franck Muller clock on top. It is pretty striking seeing it up close. The way the tower sits in the skyline, you get this feeling that you are somewhere that matters. For residents here it is never just about what is in your home. You get the pool which always seems to have just the right amount of people. If you are an early riser you might catch it almost to yourself. The gym is not thrown in as an afterthought. There is some real equipment, not just a set of old weights in a spare room. The spa has this little Zen garden area outside. I actually sat there for a second and found myself lost watching the leaves. If you have kids or if friends visit with their families, there is a space for children to play which is quite rare honestly for a building like this. And yes there is a cinema room and even a cigar lounge tucked where you would not expect it.

Dubai Marina is one of those places where you do not ever feel far from something to do. The Marina walks are right nearby and you can switch up your evenings between the cafes and those sandy bits of beach you find if you wander a little. The coffee shop is honestly never too far. Sometimes you see joggers early on and there are always a few people out with their dogs. There is valet so you never end up juggling bags. And the concierge will always greet you by name after just a week or two it seems. That little bit of comfort goes a long way.

One small thing that stands out and says a lot about the whole experience is the handover here. As an owner you receive a limited edition Franck Muller watch. It is not the reason to buy but it is a nice sign of the sort of detail and care that runs through the whole building. That is the feeling here: details that make life easier without trying too hard.

Honestly the only way to know if it suits you is to just come up and wander round for a while. If you want to see it or just want to chat about how it feels in person reach out.
