3 Bedroom Apartment in One at Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah

Some homes just almost pull you in from the doorway and this three bedroom apartment at One Palm on Palm Jumeirah really does that. I guess it is partly those views you get right away from the fifth floor. You see the whole sweep of the Arabian Gulf, the Burj Al Arab looking iconic as ever and over to the left you spot the Dubai Marina skyline stretching along. There is even a bit of the Palm Jumeirah in sight when you look out. You get the actual sense of the sea here, the real openness of it all even with the glass windows between you and the breeze. Sometimes you stand by the balcony rail and watch little boats slip by or just get caught by the way the sun moves over the water in the afternoons. It is easy to pause whatever you were thinking and just let yourself be there for a moment.

The apartment itself is big without feeling empty and honestly just feels comfortable the second you walk around. The living space is totally open so you can hang out in the kitchen while still chatting with friends or keep an eye on the kids while you sort dinner or help out with homework. That kitchen actually feels more like somewhere you want to cook not just look at. There are marble counters and the floors are proper parquet which you really notice if you take your shoes off like I always end up doing. The decor is all finished by Elicyon and they have gone for a look that is both calm and elegant. Neutral colors all around that make it easy to see yourself here with your own things and not just feeling like you are inside somebody else's idea of luxury. It is not stiff either. You almost feel like throwing your jacket onto the sofa and sitting down with a cup of coffee.

The bedrooms are set along the other side of the apartment for privacy, and each one comes with its own full bathroom which is surprisingly handy in the real world when you actually live somewhere. The master suite just has that sort of drift away feel. You walk in and might not really want to leave. Big windows let in so much natural light that you kind of catch yourself lingering. The wardrobe space is huge so there is none of that awkward sharing. The master bath looks and feels more like a spa than your average en suite. Good lighting, proper stone everywhere, you get the idea.

Balconies really matter here. The main one basically stretches the width of the apartment and connects both the living area and the master bedroom. It is the thing that kind of draws you over every time. I found myself out there just leaning over the glass, watching the day change, listening for the occasional music drifting up from the water when a yacht goes by. At night the lights along the Palm Jumeirah and The Marina start to glow and it just feels peaceful but never quiet in a lonely way.

Now if you know One Palm you probably already know about the amenities but honestly they are a step up from almost anywhere else on Palm Jumeirah. The Dorchester Collection manages the building so you get services that feel personal. Someone can drop groceries at your door or arrange housekeeping or reserve a spot at a restaurant before you have even asked. The swimming pools are not just for show. There is one for laps if you want to actually swim in the morning and another for floating or relaxing. You are more likely to see people reading on the deck than scrolling on their phones which always strikes me as a pretty good sign. There is a gym with ocean views, its own jetty if you enjoy sailing, and the cinema room lets you watch movies under the stars. Grocery shops and quiet little coffee places down the road make daily life pretty easy and you see people strolling along just because it feels nice to be outside here.

This place just feels easy. You are close to all the best bits of beach and city but inside your own space it is peaceful and private. Honestly, photos do not really give you the whole feeling especially when the evening light starts to change across the sea. Really the only way to know if it feels right for you is to come see it for real and walk around.
