1 Bedroom Apartment in Emaar Beachfront, Dubai Harbour

Some places just seem to slow you down when you walk in. This one bedroom apartment at Palace Beach Residences in Emaar Beachfront does exactly that. The first time I stepped inside, honestly, I just stood by the big window for a minute. The view opens up wide and you see the water stretching out with Palm Jumeirah in the distance. It can kind of take you by surprise even if you have seen some good views before.

The apartment is up high in Tower One so you get this peaceful, slightly removed feeling but still all of Dubai Harbour buzzing below. The way the space is laid out the living room is part of the kitchen and dining in that open plan way so everything just flows together. I could actually imagine someone cooking here for real, maybe a late weekend breakfast while music plays, or even just that morning coffee when the sun starts coming up. You get a full sunrise from the east facing bedroom and I can honestly see how waking up early would be a bit easier with that kind of view waiting for you. There is a balcony too not just a small one by the door but a proper space where you could pull up a chair and just watch the boats for a while or even just look out across the city lights at night.

The bedroom feels simple but calm and it is got built in wardrobes so you are not fighting for storage. The bathroom surprised me a little because it has that hotel or spa feeling but more real if that makes sense, with clean lines and soft lighting. You probably would not mind taking your time in the shower after a long day.

Emaar Beachfront itself is honestly starting to feel like one of Dubai's favorite places to live. The complex is still new so everything is fresh and the pool area is big enough to actually relax instead of just squeeze in a chair. Families are usually around but it stays pretty peaceful on the higher floors and at certain hours. The landscaped terraces connect the buildings and bring some green to the space, not just concrete everywhere. When I was last there I saw a kid learning to ride a bike out near the beach walkway which tells you a bit about the kind of community this is growing into.

Speaking of the beach you have actual private access here and the sand really does feel powdery and light. If you like early morning or late afternoon walks, you will probably find yourself spending more time outside without even meaning to. And it is easy to pop over to Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah if you are up for a meal out or meeting friends. Both are just minutes away by car and you avoid the crazy traffic that some other waterfront spots get. Groceries and a few coffee shops are pretty much next door as well, so the everyday stuff is just easy.

The building itself has that clean modern style but it is not cold. Walking through the lobby you get a bit of buzz but nothing too hectic, and honestly I have never seen the fitness centre crowded. The pool deck opens out to sea views and you almost forget you are in the middle of one of Dubai's hottest new areas. Plus there is always someone from the staff around if you need anything.

Overall this apartment feels like it could be a first home for someone starting out or even a holiday spot for whenever you want to press pause on life for a while. It is just enough space to feel comfortable but not so big you get lost in it. The only way to know if this place fits is to come see it in person.
