Studio Apartment in Anwa, Dubai Maritime City

Some places settle you before you even realize it. Standing by the floor to ceiling windows in this studio apartment at Anwa in Dubai Maritime City, I just watched as the afternoon sun bounced over the Arabian Gulf and felt like things slowed down for a second. The vibe here is so simple and easy. You really can forget you're living in a tower until your eyes catch the sweeping sea views all over again.

So about the space. It is a studio, but not one of those tight boxes where you feel stuck. The living area and the sleeping space just flow together the way you'd hope and you do not ever get that crammed feeling. The kitchen is tucked along one side, they have made room for actual cooking here so you are not just reheating takeout every night, unless you just feel like it. The cabinets and appliances blend right in. Built in wardrobes slide easily and there is more storage than you expect in a studio, honestly. The bathroom has a clean, fresh feel and everything has been kept in top shape.

What you see most though, are those wide stretches of sea. This apartment catches the light just right, with its neutral colors letting you do your own thing with furniture or art. Sometimes I think about mornings here with a coffee and the Gulf looking like a different shade every hour. Or evenings when the city glows in the distance and you get this calm hush that is hard to find downtown.

The building itself lives up to the promise. Anwa is the first residential tower in Dubai Maritime City so it sits in this almost private corner yet it is not cut off. You have an infinity pool with the sea close enough to almost touch. I have seen people out by the gardens reading and families settle on benches by the children's play area. There is even a separate little pool just for kids, so no one feels left out. If you are into yoga, there's an actual room for it, not just a cramped space by the gym. The gym looks right out over the water, not tucked away in a basement like some other places.

The area is growing in its own way. Walk out front and you will find the marina buzzing with things to watch. There's a waterfront promenade that connects all the way over to Mina Rashid, where sometimes you see folks taking morning jogs or families heading to the Queen Elizabeth II ship. Evenings can feel really peaceful here, and there is always something just around you, like the Sea Mall for some easy shopping or a quick coffee with those sea breezes going past.

Practical stuff matters too. When I visited, I noticed it was really easy to get out to the main roads. You can be at DIFC or Downtown Dubai pretty quick, but honestly most people who live here seem to prefer slowing down and sticking to the quieter side of the city sometimes. You feel connected without the stress.

This studio in Anwa works whether you plan to move in yourself, set up a low key second home, or even keep it as part of your Dubai property portfolio. It does not come furnished, so you get to make it yours from scratch.

I always say the only way to really know is to walk through and just see how it sits with you. If you want to come check it out or just talk about what life's really like in Dubai Maritime City, reach out anytime. We are here at LuxuryProperty.com to help take the pressure out of finding your space.
