Stunning Beachfront Duplex Apartment - One Palm

Some homes really do have a way of making you pause at the door. This four bedroom duplex apartment at One Palm just did that for me. It sits on the tenth floor and honestly, after seeing so many places around Dubai, you kind of feel when something is special even before you really start going room to room. There is this quiet, bright energy as soon as you step inside. That first look from the main living area, with all the soft light dancing in from two huge sides of wraparound terrace, just makes you slow down for a second.

The first time I walked in, I could see the sweep of the Arabian Gulf and all the way over to Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai. It is easy to stand by those big windows, maybe coffee in hand, and kind of forget time. You notice the Dubai Marina skyline too, drifting in the background. The whole living area has this open plan style that really works. I could imagine a family gathering here but it is also big enough you could just find your own corner and read quietly if you wanted. The show kitchen sits right next to the main space, light glinting off those stainless Gaggenau appliances, and honestly it looks as good as it cooks. The prep kitchen is tucked behind it but it is not hidden away—if you love actually cooking or if you have help, it just feels practical. People tend to congregate around kitchens, and this is a spot where conversations just start naturally. Both kitchens open out towards the terrace, which loops almost all the way around, so if you like entertaining outdoors or just want to see the sea in the morning, you have both options.

There is a guest bedroom downstairs, with its own bathroom and terrace space, which keeps things comfortable for visitors. No shuffle of suitcases if someone needs to stay over. Upstairs, it feels quieter—almost like another home. The family room is a real one, not just a corridor. It is somewhere you could catch a late movie or just hang out. The study has actual daylight and enough calm for remote work that is not stuck in a boxy little office.

The other three bedrooms are up here, all with their own bathrooms, which really matters with older kids or different guests staying. The master bedroom really stood out to me, mostly because of this big dressing space you can actually walk into, plus a tub that caught the sun in the afternoon when I visited. The shower is full walk in, not one of those tight little spaces you sometimes see in modern apartments. Overall, all the finishes feel just right. The wood walls never look busy. The floors are this warm parquet—barefoot feels good in the mornings. The bathrooms, all stone and soft marble, look almost hotel like but lived in, not cold.

You do notice the neutral colors—they make it easy to picture your own art or furniture. It is understated, which I actually liked more than I expected. It never feels like someone else's style crowding you.

Living at One Palm comes with that hotel-level service you might be used to from the Dorchester. There is always someone to help, whether it is packages, cleaning or just questions about the area. Pools outside, not just one but a terrace pool, a lap pool and even a vitality pool for those mornings you wake up early and just want a dip before work. There is a cinema outside for movie nights, a gym so you do not need another membership, and even direct access down to the private jetty if you feel like heading out on the water. Some days you see neighbors coming back from a morning paddle or families taking a stroll by the beach. Even getting a good coffee is easy—the local cafes are always close, and in the evenings, you will notice the lights of the resorts up and down Palm Jumeirah making it feel like you are on holiday even when you live here.

At this price point, it is probably for someone who really wants prime Dubai sea views while still enjoying a quieter life. To really know if this is your next home though, you have to see it in person. If you have questions, or just want to take a slow walk through, get in touch anytime.
