Iconic Viola Penthouse with Panoramic Views and Elite Craftsmanship

Nestled on Palm Jumeirah’s exclusive Shoreline, the Viola Penthouse reimagines island living with its four-bedroom duplex configuration and sweeping Arabian Gulf panoramas. Spanning 5,241 sq ft, this residence has undergone an artful transformation, blending lofty ceiling heights with bespoke materials and artisanal craftsmanship. Three expansive terraces invite both sunrise breakfasts and sunset cocktails, while a private study—complete with an integrated sauna—offers a sanctuary for reflection and rejuvenation. Every design decision, from lighting schemes to surface textures, has been curated to evoke a sense of understated grandeur.

Stepping through the entrance foyer, a porcelain-and-crystal chandelier immediately captures attention, casting a gentle glow across a formal living and dining pavilion. Hand-knotted Persian rugs lie beneath sculptural furnishings, adding warmth to the room’s marble-clad surfaces. Floor-to-ceiling mirrors strategically positioned throughout the space amplify natural light and create an illusion of even grander proportions. A statement drum kit installation in one corner serves as both a playful conversation starter and a reminder that this penthouse embraces personality alongside polish.

Culinary pursuits find a spectacular setting in the kitchen, conceived by Mercury’s design studio to showcase the signature Viola marble. Paired with oak veneers, bronze accents, and fluted glass panels, the cooking area functions as both a practical workspace and a sculptural centrepiece. A waterfall-edge island delineates casual dining from the chef’s domain, while integrated smart appliances and under-counter wine fridges streamline entertaining. An elegant staircase sweeps upward to a second lounge and bar level, where a Missoni-inspired wraparound sofa and armchairs create a convivial atmosphere. A backlit marble bar island becomes the focal point for intimate gatherings, its soft illumination reflecting off polished surfaces to set an enchanting evening mood.

Upstairs, each bedroom has been individually styled to offer a distinct retreat. The master suite indulges with a private balcony overlooking the Gulf, a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and a marble-clad ensuite bath featuring a freestanding tub and rain-shower. Secondary bedrooms continue the narrative of refined comfort—one cloaked in jewel-toned velvets, another in pistachio suede panels—each accompanied by high-end finishes, custom joinery and ensuite facilities equipped with rainfall showerheads and marble counters. Thoughtful extras such as automated blackout drapes and ambient LED lighting ensure that every corner can transition from bright and energizing to serene and contemplative.

Beyond the walls of the penthouse, residents of Balqis Residence 2 enjoy seamless access to world-class amenities: private beachfront stretches, infinity-edge pools overlooking the sea, an al fresco dining terrace, and a fully equipped gym featuring German-engineered equipment. Concierge services, available around the clock, assist with everything from yacht charters to in-home fine dining. Within moments, the vibrant shops, restaurants and nightlife of Palm Jumeirah’s boardwalk are at your fingertips.
