1 Bedroom Apartment in Marsa Plaza, Dubai Festival City

Some homes make you slow down the second you walk through the door. That is exactly what happened when I stepped into this one bedroom apartment in Marsa Plaza at Dubai Festival City. It sits right on the edge of Dubai Creek and honestly, before I even introduced myself at the door, I found myself just wandering across to the balcony. That view kind of sneaks up on you. The skyline shimmers and the light changes all through the day. You can see across the water to Al Jadaf and by sunset the city almost glows. Standing out there feels like you are both a part of Dubai and a little separate, if that makes sense. I even saw a small boat glide past while I was there and genuinely, it is one of those places where you just want to linger for a while.

If you are the kind of person who loves a good morning coffee outside or enjoys those quiet evening moments, the balcony really is the best spot. It stretches from the living room all the way past the bedroom so you can move around and find your own angle on the view. There is easily room for a pair of chairs and even a little table if you like the idea of breakfast with open air or watching the boats in the evening. Plus, the breeze off the water is surprisingly gentle. I heard birds and that made everything feel a bit softer, which is not always the case in the city.

Inside, the apartment feels open and light. The whole place sticks with this clean white finish, so even on days when the clouds drift in, it stays bright. The living area and kitchen flow together in an open plan way, which keeps things easy and welcoming. I am not just talking about space for show either. I could actually imagine someone cooking here and not just reheating something. The appliances are all new. That takes away a bit of future stress and just lets you get on with living. Whether you are having a couple of friends over or just sitting with a book by yourself, it feels roomy for a one bedroom apartment in this part of Dubai.

The bedroom has a sort of calm to it. When you wake up and the sunlight sneaks through the curtains, it puts you in a good mood for the day. A small detail I really liked is the bathroom window. It is not something you find everywhere, but the natural light just makes your morning routine feel better. Getting ready feels relaxed, and because you have that en suite bathroom, you do not have to cross over the living area every time you want some privacy. It is a small thing but it just makes life simpler.

And the best thing is, being in Marsa Plaza at Dubai Festival City, you get more than just an apartment. You actually have access to the Intercontinental Hotel health club, which means you have a gym that is well looked after, a pool where you can swim real laps, and even a sauna. Sometimes people think that is just fancy talk, but it really does make a difference if you like having things right where you live. There is even a restaurant downstairs. You can step out for dinner without even putting on your shoes. On days when you feel like exploring, there are coffee shops and small supermarkets nearby. Every now and then I see kids biking along the waterfront in the evenings, and that gives the place this settled, neighborhood vibe that is hard to find in high rise communities.

Transport is pretty straightforward too. You can reach downtown Dubai in about fifteen minutes and the airport is also close, so if you travel or have visitors, it is spot on. Festival City feels balanced. Not too hectic, not deserted either, which practically feels ideal day to day.

Honestly, you can scroll through so many one bedroom apartments for sale in Dubai but very few feel like this. The way the creek view and living space comes together just makes it easy. I really think the only way you will know if it is right for you is to see it. If you want to walk through or even just spend some time on that balcony, reach out whenever.
