3 Bedroom Penthouse in Anwa, Maritime City

Some places just take you by surprise. This three bedroom penthouse at Anwa in Dubai Maritime City is one of those. From the moment you step into the foyer, you get a sense of space that feels both grand and comfortable at the same time. I actually paused right here and took it all in before wandering further. You find yourself drawn straight ahead where the living and dining spaces open up. The whole place feels connected, with no choppy walls to break things up, and it is one of those homes that makes you want to slow down, maybe even take your shoes off.

Standing in the living area, the sea seems to almost come right up to you. The floor to ceiling windows are huge, so no matter where you look, it is blue water and open sky. I watched the ships moving in the distance and you can almost hear the sound of the waves drifting in. The private terrace is just outside and honestly, that is where you want to be in the evening. There is plenty of room for a few friends, or just a quiet coffee while the sun sets. Sometimes the breeze is just right here and everything slows down for a while.

The kitchen is another thing that really works. Some modern kitchens can feel a bit cold or only for show, but this one actually feels like you would want to cook. It is designed by Porcelanosa with those famous Gorenje appliances people always talk about. There's space for all your bits and pieces and you could easily imagine baking something on a Sunday morning with the radio playing in the background. It is open plan so you don't miss a thing if people are hanging out in the living room.

All three bedrooms are en suite, with big fitted wardrobes, so there is no lack of storage if your life is a bit messy sometimes. The rooms feel quiet and private even though you're in one of Dubai's most talked about addresses. Everyone gets their own bathroom, which makes mornings just that much easier. You do not have to argue over who gets to shower first. There's also an en suite maid's room, tucked just off the hallway, and a powder room for guests, which comes in handy when friends stop by for the evening.

The whole penthouse is finished with proper materials, not the sort you feel worried about touching. There's marble and ceramic in the right places, and some very warm timber touches. The bathrooms definitely make a statement with those Bagno Design fittings, but not in a way that feels shouty. If you like the feeling of a hotel spa but want it private, you will love them.

You get two parking spaces, which means visiting friends do not have to battle to find a spot. The building itself, Anwa, is a kind of hidden gem in Maritime City and actually the tallest residential tower around here. The residents' amenities are a pretty big deal. You have got an infinity pool that looks out over the Gulf, so sometimes it feels like you are swimming right into the horizon. Landscaped gardens and spaces for kids to play mean afternoons are easy, especially when the weather is nice. Maybe you even want to try the yoga room here, or the gym if you like working out with a sea view for inspiration.

Life around here is quite relaxed compared to the centre of Dubai. The waterfront promenade links you right to Mina Rashid, and you can wander down to the Marina or even head out to The Dubai Mall at the Sea. Weekends can be about just strolling around, grabbing a coffee from a nearby café, watching the world go by while kids ride their bikes along the peninsulas. Evenings sometimes bring a golden sunset that you can enjoy from your own terrace.

The only way to know if this penthouse is the right fit is to walk through it yourself. I am always happy to talk, and at LuxuryProperty.com, we like to keep things easy and honest.
