1 bedroom apartment in Emaar Beachfront, Dubai Harbour

Some places just slow you down a little when you walk in and honestly this one bedroom apartment in Grand Bleu Tower at Emaar Beachfront does that in the best way. The first time I stepped inside I just stopped for a moment because you can actually see all the way out to the water and the whole world feels a bit calmer from up here. This apartment sits in Dubai Harbour which has turned into one of those places people keep talking about for good reason you kind of feel it even as you park and look up at the towers. You'll want to take your time.

This is not one of those apartments that feels too stiff or too fancy to live in either. The layout works well for a single person or even a couple who want a bit of space. With just over 1000 square feet you do not feel boxed in. I really liked how the living area opens up right towards those big windows so the light just spills in most of the day. I stood by the glass one morning and just watched the water and I totally lost track of time for a second which does not happen often. Palm Jumeirah is right in your view and depending on where you stand you can catch the sun starting to set out past the Gulf. It is honestly the kind of spot where you end up eating breakfast by the window even if you were planning to just grab coffee and run.

The kitchen actually feels like somewhere you might cook a real meal not just heat up a takeaway which says a lot in Dubai. Plenty of storage and smooth modern touches but nothing fussy. If you like a clean space you will appreciate it. The bedroom sits a bit tucked away so when you want it quiet you just close the door and hear less of the city and more of the sea breezes coming in. The bathrooms have this hotel feel without being cold. Every finish and tap just feels considered so you don't have to worry about updating or fixing anything for ages.

But really the things you start to appreciate most are outside your door. Grand Bleu Tower is part of Emaar Beachfront which is a private bit of coast connected right to Dubai Marina on one side and the open sea on the other. Here you get your own stretch of sandy private beach that only residents and people they invite can use. You actually see neighbors wandering down just to walk barefoot or catch some sun when the beach is quiet. There is a Miami style pool deck that works all year in this weather you will probably end up spending afternoons there without even meaning to. Sometimes you even hear music playing softly from the clubhouse nearby and it feels almost like you are on holiday.

You'll also notice little details that make day to day a bit nicer. The garden rooms have more real green space than you might expect you can sit quietly in shade with a book or just listen to the breeze in the palm trees. If you have a boat or just like walking along the marina in the evening the world class yacht club is just around the corner and sometimes you even see kids biking or people walking their dogs after dinner down the promenade. Coffee shop options are never more than a few minutes away and you can always pop into Dubai Marina Mall or grab brunch without getting in the car for long.

Value is always a question of how you actually feel living in a place and I truly think this apartment would suit someone who wants the sea close enough to hear and a quiet spot but not too quiet either. Whether you want to invest and hold for a while or actually move in and make it your own it never feels like a risky choice with Dubai Harbour coming up so strong.

The only real way to know if this apartment feels right is to look at it in person walk around and see if you can picture yourself here.
