2 Bedroom Apartment in Shoreline Apartments, Palm Jumeirah

Some places just put you at ease the second you walk in. This two bedroom apartment at Al Basri in Shoreline Apartments feels exactly like that. Maybe it is the way the light moves through the windows or how the sound changes as soon as you step inside. You can feel the quietness of being close to the sea but you are still right at the beginning of Palm Jumeirah so popping into the city or grabbing a coffee outside is never more than a minute or two away.

The living area here is bigger than you might expect. When I first walked in, I actually paused for a second just to take a look around. It is open and airy, flows easily from the entrance right through to a spot where you can set up a proper lounge and dining table without feeling squeezed. There is also a good sized kitchen that does not feel tucked away—you could imagine chatting with family or listening to music while cooking up dinner here, not just standing and waiting for delivery. There is something easy about the way it is set up.

Both bedrooms come with their own en suite bathrooms and proper fitted wardrobes. Storage does not really seem to be a problem, which is something everyone always asks about. I even noticed the maid's room is actually usable, not just a tiny afterthought stuck in the back. Sometimes you look at city apartments and every bit of space feels forced, but this layout has a natural flow. It almost feels like someone really paid attention to how people live here, especially with that extra room you could use for storage or an office if you need it.

One of the nicest little things, honestly, is the location in Al Basri itself. If you look out from the balcony, the sea is just there. Most mornings here probably start with that salty air and birds passing by. On other visits, I saw a few neighbours heading down with towels under their arms, so you can tell the direct beach access is as good as they say. That right hand side of Shoreline Apartments really does get you steps away from the sand and you can hear the water when it is quiet. People living here get the kind of Palm Jumeirah lifestyle that everyone talks about, but it still feels like a real home, not just a holiday flat.

The building itself seems calm and well looked after. I popped outside around sunset one evening and you could see people strolling along the shoreline, a few kids on bikes and someone with a dog looking out over the water. It is hard to believe you can get both that sort of relaxed, community feel and those Dubai city views all at once. Everything from gyms, pools, and the little shops are never far. You end up walking a bit more just because it is so easy to reach things.

Most people looking at Palm Jumeirah want more than just an address. They want that feeling that every day could be a bit different, whether it is going for a swim first thing in the morning or heading into the city for work without having to plan a whole route. Al Basri actually gives you both. You are early on the trunk, so skipping traffic is easier and the rest of Dubai is open to you. But if you just want to sit by your window and watch the boats, you can do that too.

Unfurnished means you can really make this apartment yours from the start. Sometimes it is even nicer to bring in your own things and build those familiar routines across new spaces. And with one thousand five hundred fifty square feet, you have plenty of canvas to work with.

You do have to walk through for yourself to get a sense of the place.
