4 Bedroom Penthouse in Elite Residence, Dubai Marina

Some places have that pause moment as soon as you walk in. I got that feeling the other day up on the eighty second floor at Elite Residence. It is a four bedroom penthouse, way up in the Dubai Marina skyline. When the elevator doors opened, I just sort of took a few seconds before heading inside. Up here, everything feels above the city, wrapped in this steady hush. The view steals your attention right away. You honestly might stay a whole minute leaning against the glass, just pinpointing all the way from Palm Jumeirah over to the curve of the Marina. Even from the hall, you catch reflections of the coastline and tiny boats drifting below.

What stood out to me was how wide open the living areas are. The kitchen does not just look sharp, it actually feels like somewhere you could really cook, maybe chop something with music going. It is a custom-made Hacker kitchen, and you can tell. There are Miele appliances that make sense if you know your way around a coffee machine or oven. I always check how storage feels, and in here you get loads, plus a wine room tucked away that would be a dream if you like keeping a few bottles on hand. Moving into the dining area, the flow just keeps opening up. You can look up and see the ceiling lights changing as the day goes. Sometimes you catch the sound of a ship's horn, but for the most part it is just quietly impressive.

Then, honestly, there is this indoor plunge pool, which is not something you see every day. It is right by the windows. I sat on the edge and just watched the pattern of the light and water mix. If you push open the windows, and they are these bi folding kind, air rolls in and you get that open infinity effect. It is one of those little touches that make you stop and think, I could actually wind down here. The space leads directly to the outdoor balcony. The barbecue area faces the city and sea. You can picture gatherings or even just random chats with friends while you watch the sunset. Sometimes all it needs is a breeze and a bit of music.

The bedrooms are proper retreats, nothing tucked away weird. Each one has its own bathroom so there is never a traffic jam when you have guests or family. The master suite takes it a step further with a walk in closet that, if you are like me, actually makes you want to hang up your things for once. Everything about the finish in here feels built to last but never cold. Raised ceilings make even the early light feel soft when you wake up. It is one of those spaces you do not need to fill with much. Just let the skyline and the water views do most of the talking.

What you will notice about Elite Residence as a building is the sense of being in the centre of everything but never hurried. Supermarkets are just around the corner so forgetting something is never a hassle. There is a day to day ease here, and a coffee shop is always just down the street. Sometimes, especially in the evenings, you will see families heading to the beach across the street or people meandering over to Marina Walk for late bites. If you work nearby, or even in the city, the quick access to banks and restaurants is just easy. You would never feel stuck up here.

This penthouse is not furnished, which is actually kind of a blank canvas. You can put your mark on it in ways that feel real, not forced. The floors feel solid underfoot, everything about the place has a sense of calm but with enough energy that you are not isolated either.

If you want to see for yourself or have questions about what living this high up actually feels like, reach out any time. I always think the only way to know if it is right is to walk inside and just see how it hits you. At LuxuryProperty.com, we are pretty relaxed about it. It should feel comfortable from the start.
