Marina Penthouse with Incredible Finish

Some homes just make you pause for a moment as you step inside. This three bedroom townhouse at LIV Waterside in Dubai Marina does exactly that. The minute I walked in, the first thing that hit me was the way the light bounces off the water and spills in through the big windows. It is hard to imagine you are right in the heart of the city because it feels a bit more peaceful here than you would expect. You do hear the marina boats from time to time, and honestly, it just adds to the sense that you are somewhere special and not in the usual Dubai rush.

The townhouse itself is set over two levels, so you get that feeling of space, not crowded or boxy like some places. There is a private entrance that makes it feel even more like your own. You get the kind of finish in here that you would see in a penthouse, with crisp lines and open spaces that make you want to kick off your shoes and just slow down for a bit. When I stood by the window in the morning, I could see the marina laid out in front of me, boats gliding past. Sometimes people jog along the promenade and wave, and you rarely see that little bit of neighborliness in such a luxury spot.

It is not just for show here either. The kitchen actually feels like a place where you would want to cook a full meal. There is enough countertop space so two people can prep a proper breakfast without bumping into each other, but it also works perfectly fine if your style is more coffee and croissant on the run. Speaking of coffee, there is a breakfast bar and even a little café downstairs so if you feel like taking your laptop down and starting your day out in the garden or courtyard, it is all right there. 

You will also find a lounge where the residents tend to hang out casually. It never feels stuffy or corporate. To be honest, the kids here love the games room, and there is even a virtual golf setup which actually gets some regular use. The cinema room is good for movie nights, and if you need to work from home, there are pods tucked away so you do not have to take up the kitchen table. If friends come over, there is a private dining space you can book—so you get the fun of having everyone around but do not mess up your own place.

For wellness, the pool area is probably the best thing. It is not huge but never crowded, and I usually see a few folks lounging under the cabanas reading a book or catching up. There is a smaller kids' pool too so the little ones are never short of something to do. And the outdoor gardens actually get used, whether it is families picnicking or someone just taking a call while walking near the water features. You might spot the old olive and palm trees—feels a bit like a secret garden in places.

Security is twenty-four hour so you never feel uneasy, even if you come home late. The entrance itself is impressive but not overdone. There are also dedicated elevators for the amenities, lots of storage lockers if you have more stuff than you expected, and yes, they have electric vehicle charging stations which is honestly more rare than it should be.

I have to mention, Dubai Marina is really just outside your door. It is easy to head out for a walk along the waterfront, grab a coffee, meet friends for dinner, or just stand by the water and let the evening cool off. Sometimes you even see kids biking around while grownups just stroll or people watch. Even after all these years here, I find new little spots to explore.

Photos are just for illustration, by the way. You really have to come and stand here to get the sense of what makes this spot different. If you are even a little bit curious, the only way to see if it feels right is to walk through for yourself. Reach out when you want—questions or just a look around.
