Dubai's Ultimate Penthouses

30 September 2018 Written by Staff Writer

Famous for its gleaming skyscrapers, Dubai is home to some of the finest penthouses in the world. With a combination of exquisite interior design, high-quality finishes and seemingly endless views that capture the entire city from the comfort of your living room, these are what we consider to be ultimate penthouses and the pinnacle of luxury living.

23 Marina

This is the home against which every penthouse is measured. Spanning an impressive 38,000 sq ft, occupies the top 3 floors of the tower. Encase in floor-to-ceiling glass paneling and featuring a unique octagonal shape, the penthouse offers complete 360-degree views that cover every facet of Dubai and even a hint of Abu Dhabi in the far distance. Each room has been meticulously designed for the utmost comfort, with key features being a double-height living room, home gym, multiple balconies, a truly lavish master suite, and most intriguingly of all, an entertainment area with a tree rising along one side of it.

Volante

Situated on the Dubai Water Canal, Volante gets the twin benefit of a waterfront view and one that encompasses the Burj Khalifa. Comprised solely of full and half-floor penthouse units, it has been designed with exclusivity in mind. The units measure from around 5,000 to over 10,000 sq ft across and have spacious flowing layouts. They are complemented by a fantastic resident’s club on the 4th floor of the building with a spa, cafe, outdoor pool, gym and private cinema. 

The 118 Downtown

The tower is ideally located a short distance from the Burj Khalifa and at the threshold of the bustling Downtown district, a key commercial, cultural and entertainment hub in Dubai. The penthouses offer a choice of two interior schemes - Classic and Contemporary - and each exudes sophistication and elegance in its own unique way. A dedicated concierge service is just one of the excellent amenities available at The 118 Downtown, handling all of the small details of everyday living so you can experience the best that Downtown Dubai has to offer.
