Some places just feel different. The first time I walked into one of the One and Only Private Homes at One Zaabeel, I remember just standing there for a minute while the city buzzed on outside. Sometimes the air feels quieter up here, and you almost forget how central you really are. I have seen a lot of homes in Dubai, but these have a sort of quiet confidence to them, maybe because they are part of the One and Only resort itself, which you can feel in the level of care everywhere. These studios are perfect if you want something that feels personal and not just like another apartment. As soon as you step in, the quality is right in front of you. Floors that cool your feet with stone and timber that just has that warm feel under your hand and you can actually imagine living here, not just staying for a while. It is open plan, but not cold or echoey, more the kind of space where a single person or even a couple would feel at home. I stood by the window for a bit and you get those city views that change all day, from soft morning light to that glitter at night. Dubai feels large and close at the same time, and you do not really get tired of looking out. One thing that a lot of people ask me about is service. Life at One Zaabeel is just straightforward, and honestly you feel it the most in the small things. The One Service package looks after the whole place for you, so you do not find yourself chasing around for repairs or unsure who to ask when you need a hand. Even the concierge is available any time, actually ready to help, not just someone at a desk. If you are like me and you sometimes realize at dinner time that you forgot to order something or need a reservation, this is where they really shine. Also, if you are living here with family, there are those little privileges residents get, like special access to events or discounts at the restaurants. Sometimes you see people from the building gathering together, and it is nice to know you can be part of that or not, just as you like. Everybody talks about The Link, and it really is something. You can walk right across and there it is, the world&#039;s largest cantilevered building, hanging over the city. It is filled with places to eat and that almost theatrical infinity pool that kind of makes you linger a bit longer in the evening. The spa and wellness sides are proper, not just a couple of machines in a room, and people actually use them. Some of the best conversations I have had are with folks coming back from an early morning swim or heading to grab coffee. Getting in and out is pretty much a breeze. Direct connections mean you can be at the Dubai International Airport or the financial district in no time, and Downtown Dubai is just a quick drive away. The golden beaches are not far either, and you can actually feel the air change when you get close. On weekends, the area feels alive with people but not packed. There is always a coffee shop somewhere near, and a lot of daily life just seems easier here. I have to say, photos give you a hint, but walking through one of these apartments, especially if you do not want a huge space but want something with a kind of substance, is when it clicks. That is when you know whether this lifestyle is for you. The only way to know if it feels right is to come and see for yourself. If you ever have questions or want someone who actually knows the building to walk you through, just get in touch whenever it suits.
