Studio Apartment in Dubai, Mohammed Bin Rashid City

There are some places that just make you slow down before you even open the door, and honestly Beachside Residences at Tilal Al Ghaf feels like one of those. I had a chance to wander around here last week, and even before I could get to the apartment, I could already see why it has its own kind of peaceful energy. You see people out for a jog in the morning, someone just walking their dog—kids riding their bikes in the evening while the light comes across the lagoon. It does not feel like central Dubai at all, even though you are actually right in the middle of everything.

This particular studio apartment just has this really fresh look the second you walk in. It is not fussy, not too minimal, just simple and smart. Whoever designed these definitely thought about how people actually live because you can feel how the storage actually works. No struggling with nowhere to put things. The finishes are really clean and modern, but what makes the biggest difference is how much sunlight comes in. There is this floor to ceiling glass, and if you just stand by the window for a minute, you can see the water outside and all the way across to the rest of the community. You might hear a couple of birds or catch the sound of people chatting from the boardwalk down below if you stand really quietly. Sometimes you even forget you are just a few minutes from the city.

The kitchen is actually decent for a studio to be honest. It does not feel like just a corner someone squeezed in—it is set up so you can properly cook if you felt like it, and maybe you would with so many food shops nearby. Absolutely you could host a friend or two. Trust me, it just feels easy. You can work from home here, you can relax, or just do your thing and never really feel boxed in by studio walls.

One thing that really surprised me is how much thought went into the overall flow of the place. The way the clusters are designed around the lagoon, you can always step out for a walk or run if things start to feel a little too small indoors. These landscaped walkways make it all feel more connected, and there is always something happening, whether you want to be active or just hang out.

Living at Beachside Residences means you have access to The Club, which is honestly nicer than most hotel gyms and pools you have probably seen. There is more than one pool, places to do yoga or just lie back after a long day. Plus if you want to mix things up, there are cooking courses you can join, music lessons going on, or you could just grab a coffee at the private beach and people watch for a bit. The gym looks out onto green space, so even working out does not feel like a chore. And the boardwalk goes on for more than a kilometre, great for those clear days when you just want to clear your head.

The best thing really, especially if you are thinking about making Dubai your home for a few years or more, is how easy the lifestyle is here. Everything feels planned to make things simpler. Groceries nearby, a sense of community where you will actually get to know your neighbours if you want to, and enough space for whatever style of living you prefer. You can work out, join a club, take up a new sport or, honestly just do nothing and enjoy the morning light by your window.

Like most of the best places in Dubai, you do not really get the atmosphere until you show up in person and walk around.
