studio apartment in Ciel Tower, Dubai Marina

Some places just catch your attention right from the start. This studio apartment in Ciel Tower inside Dubai Marina definitely did that for me. Honestly the first thing you notice is the tower itself. Even before you step in you can see it from all over the city. It's about to be the tallest hotel anywhere in the world. One of those addresses that makes you think wow every time you drive past it especially at night when the lights hit the skyline.

Inside though it feels surprisingly calm and comfortable. I walked in and the space just felt easy. You can tell someone put thought into the layout because even if it is a studio apartment at 361 square feet it just works. The sleeping area fits in nicely without feeling cramped at all and those built in wardrobes keep everything tidy so nothing gets in the way. I paused for a bit by the balcony. Genuinely this is the kind of spot where you might set your coffee down and end up just standing there looking out at Dubai Marina or letting the morning sun wake you up while you check your phone. At night the marina sparkles and it feels like the whole city is practically right there in front of you.

The finishes inside are modern but not showy so you get that up to date feel without anything feeling too much. Two bathrooms inside a studio is not something I see every day it's actually really practical whether you plan to stay here yourself or rent it out straight away. And that's another thing. Everything is ready to go so there is no waiting around for furniture or fixing up details. You really could move in or list it the day you get the keys. That makes it just as handy for a personal base in Dubai or a smart investment in the Dubai property market.

Living here you actually get those hotel amenities without giving up your own space. There is a rooftop infinity pool and you have to see it in person because it almost seems to float above the marina. I stood up there and you can see all the way out to the Arabian Gulf on a clear day. The fitness centre has everything you would need so you are not missing out on workouts just because you are in a studio. There is even a business lounge in the tower if you need a space to get some work done or just a quiet moment with your laptop. And one of my favourite things is that food is never far away. There are dining spots right in the building which just makes life a bit easier – you can grab something good without even leaving home which is pretty rare for most apartments in Dubai Marina.

You'll also feel a bit of the hotel buzz especially in the lobby but when you get to your own place it is private and actually feels like home not a regular hotel suite. That's what I think makes Ciel Tower stand out and why it works well for people wanting to live in Dubai Marina and also for those who want a property for rental income.

Dubai Marina is always lively and honestly it keeps getting better every year. The beach is a quick walk away. There are cafés and shops downstairs or just around the corner. Transport is easy. Plus sometimes in the evening you just see people out strolling by the water or sitting with friends by the fountains. It is just one of those neighbourhoods where life happens naturally and you feel it every day.

Best way to see if it is right for you is to come check it out in person. Message or call anytime if you want to take a look or just have a chat about the apartment. At LuxuryProperty.com we try to make things as relaxed as possible because moving really should feel like a good next step.
