1 Bedroom Apartment in FIVE Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah

Some places just have their own way of making you stop and actually breathe for a second. This one bedroom apartment at Five, Palm Jumeirah, is like that. You step in and the soft sort of light just settles over everything. It feels gentle as the day changes outside. I remember standing by the huge windows, looking out at the sky slowly waking up. Sea off in the distance doing its thing, little sparkles everywhere. Not noisy or anything. Just that sort of peaceful Dubai calm you get sometimes on the Palm.

Honestly this apartment is pretty easy on the eyes. There is this whole understated color vibe inside. Pale shades, a bit of earthiness in the tones, and then suddenly these bits of teal that really wake things up. You spot the bronze touches here and there. I like that they did not go overboard with anything shiny. It feels put together but relaxed. The whole place gets a ton of natural daylight through these floor to ceiling glass panels. Even the hallway is brighter than you expect. I found that if you hang around the living room late afternoon, the whole place glows up with that crazy orange sunset. And from the balcony – oh, that balcony is not just a little ledge. It is big enough to bring a coffee and just sit for a while. You get proper sea views and, if you are lucky, some of Dubai's famous sunsets right in your face. The kind of sunset where you send a photo to your friends and they think you used a filter, but actually, it just looks like that.

You will notice that the bedroom is surprisingly peaceful. Closed the door and I barely heard anything but my own thoughts, really. Good storage too. Real walk in closet, not just a sort of token cupboard in the wall. The bathroom is pretty impressive. Proper Greek and Italian marble all over, mirrored tub, rainfall shower that kind of makes you want to just stay under it for a few extra minutes. Feels a lot like those hotel bathrooms you wish you could take home with you.

And then, the building itself is, honestly, packed with things you might end up actually using. The gym is not just for show. I saw people there early in the morning and late in the evening, not empty at all, so you know it has all the right equipment. There is a proper boutique spa downstairs if you like to unwind now and then. You also get a private swimming pool, one of those that actually feels inviting and not just for looking at. The beach club is a favourite, especially on weekends. People wander down in flip flops, grab a drink, some music floating around, sometimes you catch families playing volleyball or just chilling out by the water. The coffee shop downstairs is actually decent so you will probably find yourself going back for more than just caffeine. Plus, you never have to walk far to get groceries or dinner. There are spots downstairs for both, and if you prefer, room service is basically always an option.

Living in Five at Palm Jumeirah means you get this balance – you are in one of the most iconic bits of Dubai, but honestly, day to day it just feels easy. Morning jog along the crescent if that is your thing, evenings watching the lights of the city over the water. It is definitely a good option as an investment, but to me, it feels more like the kind of place that is worth moving into and seeing how you actually use it. Sometimes you almost forget your phone for a bit here. Maybe that is rare these days.
