2 Bedroom Apartment in Marina Gate, Dubai Marina

Some places just make you want to drop your bag and pause for a minute. This two bedroom apartment at Marina Gate in Dubai Marina is one of those. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was all that natural light. It just pours in and you can see out over the marina and the pool. Standing by the window for a bit, it honestly feels larger than you expect. The layout makes sense, nothing feels squeezed in. I actually liked that you can hear just a little gentle marina activity below but never so much it's noisy. There's a calm feeling that is pretty rare right in the middle of Dubai Marina.

If you like real kitchens, the one here is it. It actually feels usable. Not just a place to heat leftovers but where you might cook for friends now and then. Cupboards are where they should be, plenty of worktop space, and the window brings a bit of energy in the mornings. Both bedrooms are simple, with just enough space you do not have to shuffle everything around to live comfortably. I noticed the floors feel cool underfoot even in the heat and the bathrooms are done in those clean modern lines you see in newer Dubai properties. There is no over the top design. It just feels easy to move in.

And then you remember you are right in the heart of Marina Gate. The building itself really does a lot for residents. Downstairs there is everything from a gym that actually gets sunlight while you are working out, to not just one swimming pool but two. The infinity pool is perfect for relaxing and you could easily work on your laptop poolside if you wanted. There is a lap pool for serious swimmers too and honestly I saw someone doing lengths there at midday—seems popular. Kids have their own area to burn off steam and the outdoor gym looked like something you might actually make use of. Nobody is watching you and there is a paddle tennis court if you feel like playing after work. For basketball fans, there is a court that gets used in the evenings. Sometimes you see a group just having a laugh while the sun is going down.

It is a smart building so security is there but never in your face. The business lounge is a quiet place if you need a bit of space away from your apartment for work calls or just reading, I actually saw someone working away in there with a coffee in hand. The building really gives you that holiday feeling with enough real world touches that you could settle in for ages. There is also the 24 hour reception which honestly makes your day easier if you have guests coming over or need a delivery sorted.

The real magic though is being on Marina Walk. You are never far from anywhere. I counted maybe three minutes to Spinneys and Carrefour. Grabbing a coffee never takes more than a stroll. There are hairdressers and nail salons for when you need them and plenty of restaurants lined up along the water. Public transport just works here, the tram is right around the corner and you are only ever about five minutes' walk from JBR and the beach. Sometimes you see kids going out for ice cream in the evenings and everyone just seems to slow down a little.

This apartment at Marina Gate is unfurnished so you can set it up exactly how you like. There is plenty of room for a small family or even for a couple who want a bit more space. The built up area is generous for Dubai Marina and nothing feels tight. You'll also notice it was designed to actually be lived in, not just shown off. The only way to know if it feels right is to come and see it for yourself. If you have questions or want to walk through, reach out any time.
