Contemporary Studio Apartment in Ciel Tower, Dubai Marina

Sometimes there are places that just catch your attention for a second and you find yourself pausing to really look around. That's honestly what happened when I first came up to this studio apartment in Ciel Tower at Dubai Marina. I've seen a lot of places but this one feels different. Maybe it's the way the light pours in from those big windows or the fact that when you step out onto the balcony and look out you see the marina below and the wide-open sea just beyond. You feel pretty high up here actually—Ciel Tower is already hard to miss and it is set to be the tallest hotel in the world soon. Sometimes when you are up here you almost forget you are in the centre of Dubai Marina at all. The world just feels a little quieter from this vantage point.

This studio is spread out over seven hundred and fifty five square feet and it never comes across as cramped or boxed in. There is an easy flow to the way it is set up. The bedroom space, the spot for your sofa, and the way the kitchen area lines up along the wall—nothing here feels awkward or forced. I've stood in a lot of so-called studios that feel like you just want to leave but this one actually makes you want to hang out. The kitchen is the type of place you could actually make dinner not just heat up takeout. And finishing touches around the place are smooth but not over the top. Built-in wardrobes make it easy for all your things to have a spot so there's no mess left lying around. Two bathrooms is something you just do not expect for a studio, but it really does make life easier especially if you ever have someone staying over.

Stepping outside onto the balcony gives you a whole different feel for Dubai. Some mornings you can watch boats heading out onto the water while the city wakes up. Other times you are here in the evening with the breeze coming off the sea and the city lights just starting to blink on. The views are really what sell this home in a lot of ways but there is more to it than that. You'll also notice the atmosphere feels a bit more relaxed at Ciel. Sometimes I see people lounging with coffee on their balconies or catching up with neighbors in the corridors.

Being a part of Ciel Tower you actually get access to a lot of perks. The rooftop infinity pool is one of those places where you could end up losing track of time—not because you are surrounded by luxury but because it just feels so good to float there and listen to the quiet way above the city. The gym is fully fitted out if you are someone who likes to get a session in before work or even late at night. Even if you work from home there is a business lounge where you can set up your laptop, plug in for a while, or just chill with a cup of coffee. And the best thing is, if you fancy eating out, you are surrounded by some of Dubai Marina's best restaurants right downstairs. The beach is never that far either. Sometimes you see kids out riding bikes or folks heading down to the water as the sun starts to set. Living here you are always close to something—shops, cafes, the tram, even places just to take a quiet walk.

A lot of people ask about investment and it does make sense here. Being right in Dubai Marina with a new landmark address, there's always an interest in this kind of property. Whether you are after a city home, a holiday spot, or a way to earn steady rental income, I genuinely think it holds its value well. You just get the feeling that people will always want to be in a spot like this.

In the end though, pictures and words only go so far. Sometimes you have to come up, look around, sit for a bit and see if it feels right.
