High Floor Sky Palace in Vela Residence by Omniyat

Some places just change your pace as soon as you walk in. Honestly, The Sky Palace at Vela Dorchester Collection in Business Bay is one of those rare homes. You step off the lift straight into your own world, and for a moment you forget you are right in the middle of Dubai. Spine-tingling views jump out from every window. Seriously, I even paused in the grand hall, looking at the Burj Khalifa off in the distance while city lights flicker on in the evening. Almost feels like you are floating above it all.

The first thing you might notice is the quiet. Even though you are right by the water and above the busiest bits of the Burj Khalifa District, there is this sense of calm that just sits over everything. The living room is huge, and the way the sunlight pours in through those floor to ceiling windows, it kind of makes you want to sit back and just watch the sky for a while. The layout really lets you be together with family or friends, but you can also peel off into your own corners when you need a break. Two private swimming pools, so you can pick between a quick morning swim with the sunrise or something slower late in the evening. Those terraces are the sort of space that makes you want to invite people over just so they can see it. Sometimes you spot someone sailing past on Marasi Bay, and it all just feels a little bit surreal.

This penthouse really spreads itself out over three big floors, so nothing feels tight at all. Five bedrooms, and each one is set up like a quiet retreat. You do not get that hotel vibe here, which I love. Real beds, warm textures, lots of built-in storage, and every window frames a view. Parisian designers Gilles and Boissier made sure every inch has its own personality. You can see a bit of the Mandarin Oriental Paris inspiration in the finesse, but honestly, it is got this homey thing going too. Kitchens here? Actually feels like you might cook for real, not just order in. There is space for a morning coffee, room for big dinners, and more than enough shiny appliances for anyone who likes to experiment.

I wandered up to the gym just to check it out, and you will probably end up doing the same. It is one of those places where even if you do not love working out, you kind of want to spend time there. The triple height ceiling makes it feel like a little club, with the marina on one side and the sky opening right up in front of you. The private cinema room actually has enough room for everyone to spread out. I always look for storage, by the way, and there is plenty—big enough to disappear your extra luggage and golf clubs, no problem.

The extra touches here are what set this home apart. There's an actual majlis that feels ready for intimate gatherings, and a private spa suite you can sneak away to when the world gets busy. Even a play area for kids tucked away from the grown-up zones. The service? Well, Dorchester Collection sets the bar high. Housekeeping that just gets done in the background, plus maintenance and even laundry if you want it. Some of my clients really value the valet and grooming services for car collections. You can tell they have thought through the small stresses that can eat up your day.

On weekends, the walking path along Marasi Marina is where people stroll and enjoy sunset. You'll often catch soft music from the nearby Lana Hotel, and the best part is perks like exclusive spa access and dining. Sometimes you almost forget your phone, just watching the city shift from afternoon to night from your own terrace.
