3-Bedroom Marina Residence at Vela Dorchester Collection

It is funny how some homes slow you down right away. You step out of the elevator and suddenly things feel almost quieter. That is honestly how I felt at this three bedroom apartment at The Marina Residence in the Vela Dorchester Collection. It sits right in the heart of Business Bay just where Marasi Bay meets the city and yet somehow does not feel rushed. The floor to ceiling windows really do make you just stand there for a bit. The sun pours in and lights up every room and you can see right across the water with the Burj Khalifa always in the distance. There is something kind of calming about having those big city views and the gentle movement of the marina at your feet. 

The first thing you actually notice is the sheer space. Over six thousand square feet. And it feels bigger because of the way everything is spread out. The living room has these big open corners so you get little pockets of private space but still feel connected. If you care about design you may already know the names Gilles and Boissier. This place definitely has their stamp. Not too over the top just clean lines texture and a bit of Parisian attitude. The kitchen looks like somewhere you would actually want to cook from scratch or just hang out with a friend over coffee. You will notice the way the light sits on the stone counters. Little details pop up everywhere. Brass handles smooth wood. You will want to touch everything at least once. 

Bedrooms have that tucked away feeling and yet there is nothing small or dark about them. You wake up to blue skies the city skyline or the quiet curve of the marina. The bathrooms feel generous. I mean spacious with walk in showers and tubs that you could actually soak in for a while. Never feels squeezed or awkward. Sometimes I just sit by the window and watch the tiny boats moving below. At night the city lights up but in here it still feels peaceful. 

There are pools here but they are not just rectangles. The L shaped pool space curves along the corner so some parts are full of morning sunlight while others get bits of afternoon shade. Sit out on the big deck and you keep catching these patches of breeze from Marasi Bay. Even if you do not jump in the water that day it just feels good to be up here watching the world go by. The gym is huge three stories up and honestly almost too nice for just working out. Marina views on every treadmill. If you want more privacy or time with friends there is also a cinema room to catch a film or let the kids play.

The Dorchester Collection really means service you can feel. Not just the usual everyday stuff. There is in house dining if you do not feel like cooking and someone who can sort your restaurant booking or care for your car on days you need it. Even a valet that looks after prized collections for those who really love their cars. Sometimes it is the little things like the golf buggy rides down the promenade. Just makes life easier especially on weekends or lazy evenings with friends. You will probably see families out strolling or maybe kids on bikes nearby. Walking distance to plenty of little cafes and being part of Business Bay means the city is never far but it rarely feels too busy right here. Having The Lana Hotel nearby also opens up spa days or a quick lunch without even calling a taxi. 

Nothing replaces standing here yourself seeing how the light moves through each room. If you want to know if this apartment really fits you best thing is to come have a look.
