4 Bedroom Apartment in Marsa Plaza, Dubai Festival City

Some places really do have that feeling right from the first step inside. Marsa Plaza at Dubai Festival City has always struck me as one of those. This particular four bedroom apartment sits way up on a high floor and I have to say when you look out the window it is almost surprising how calm it feels that high up. The city and the creek just stretching out in front of you, and sometimes you catch the little boats drifting by. I actually leaned in for a bit to watch just because it slows you down for a second and it is not every day you find that.

The layout here is big in that way that kind of lets everyone move around and not bump into each other. I noticed when walking through the living area there is a real sense of airiness. No one trying to squeeze past while someone else is chatting on the sofa or heading to the kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, it honestly feels like somewhere you would cook for real, not just heat something up. The counters are wide, and light comes in even during the late afternoon, which makes prepping food actually sort of relaxing. Some kitchens you feel like you want to leave, but this one, I almost wanted to stay longer.

Now, this is a proper family apartment and I mean that. Four bedrooms, all a little set apart, so you get a bit of privacy even with everyone at home. The master bedroom is really something. Wake up in the morning and you are looking straight at the creek and the skyline. Sometimes you almost forget your phone and just watch the sun move over the water. Bathrooms are what you would expect in a place like this—clean, functional, with just enough style but nothing over the top. The views do most of the showing off to be honest.

You will probably spot a few details you would not see everywhere. For example, there are these little corners where you can put a chair and just read. You will notice how quiet it gets at night for such a central location. Downstairs, the lobby feels welcoming, sometimes a bit of chatter in the mornings when people pass through with coffee or gym bags. Actually the building amenities are a big bonus. Residents here get access to a proper gym, outdoor swimming pools that people actually use, and fitness studios with classes that run on a regular basis. Makes it easy to keep up the routine without trekking across the city.

Being at Marsa Plaza, Dubai Festival City, you are in the middle of everything but it never feels hectic. Down the road there's a proper supermarket so no scrambling for groceries. Some days after work, you see kids biking along the walkways or neighbors just chatting around the entrance. There's a really well-kept dry cleaner right downstairs, which is always a lifesaver, and a hairdresser just next door. The restaurant in the building is popular too—I have seen people popping in for a lazy weekend breakfast.

You are never short on things to do. The Festival City Mall is right nearby, honestly it is a nice change from the always busy malls elsewhere. Over three hundred retail stores, plus all kinds of cafes and bistros, and the river walk is perfect when you just need to get outside. Some of my favorite days here are the small ones—grabbing a coffee, sitting by the water, maybe trying something new from one of the bakeries.

This apartment at Marsa Plaza is available now and it comes unfurnished so you can really make it your own. If you are thinking about making Dubai Festival City your next stay, this is worth a look. The best way to get a sense of it all is just coming by. If you want to see it or have questions, I am always happy to help however I can.
