2 Bedroom Apartment in The Torch, Dubai Marina

Some places just make you stop and breathe for a second. Walking inside this two bedroom apartment in The Torch Tower at Dubai Marina, I found myself headed straight to the window without even thinking. The skyline pulls your eyes across the city and then you lean on the balcony railing and all at once there is the boats, the water, and the whole marina vibe happening right below. There are a lot of buildings here in Dubai Marina but honestly this one just feels a bit calmer. Maybe it is the way the roads wind around or maybe I just caught it at the right time but you notice people laughing over coffee at the cafe downstairs and you sort of forget it is the city.

The layout is genuinely a surprise because sometimes these city apartments can feel a little boxed in but not here. There is room to move without bumping your shins on furniture every time you pass the sofa. You come home and your eyes settle on the view before you even spot the kitchen, which feels a little tucked in but still part of everything. There is just enough of a wall to keep the food smells out of the living space but you still get to hear the banter and see who is coming in. The kitchen has real appliances that look ready for someone to cook for real and you will probably want to try cooking instead of just ordering in again. I liked the storage too and there are places to put things away so it stays tidy even if you have had a busy week. There is even a proper laundry room which means you actually have somewhere to deal with the washing and avoid that end of week pile in the hallway.

The master bedroom gets a nice bit of sun in the afternoons and when I was there with the window open just a crack you get that fresh air, so it feels like a place you would want to curl up in or start a lazy Friday. The ensuite bathroom is all yours which is just easier, especially if you have friends over sometimes. The second bedroom sits just off the hallway and has easy access to the other bathroom, perfect if you work from home and need a little office setup. I noticed the built in storage as well so you do not have to live out of suitcases or wonder where to hide extra things.

Something else I liked is just how lived in the building feels. It is not cold or echoey like some of the shiny new towers. You will see kids coming up from the pool and somebody heading to the gym, so it has a real community vibe. The parking is underground so you do not have to stress if you come home late and try to find a place for your car. Someone in the lift mentioned the lobby always smells fresh and that actually is not that common in big towers. It is just one of those small things you appreciate after a long day.

Life in Dubai Marina is never dull but you still have a sense of calm at The Torch. The Marina Walk is pretty much on your doorstep so grabbing a coffee or going for a stroll is easy whenever. The sea is close enough that you could go to the JBR beach by foot or just wander to the open air mall for some shopping. Most evenings you will see families or bikers out with the breeze coming off the water and lights across the skyline. For runners, there is a path that loops the whole marina and I will say there are mornings out there when listening to the boats and watching the city wake up makes you almost forget your phone.

This is not just another Dubai Marina apartment for rent. The Torch has a special combination of marina and skyline views plus a two bedroom apartment layout that actually works for real life not just photos. Select Group really knew what they were doing here and with all the little practical details sorted it just feels like somewhere you could stay a good while.

At the end of the day you have got to walk through and see if it clicks for you. Maybe pop by and see how it feels to stand by that window or just sit in the living room for a second.
