1 bedroom apartment in Al Bateen Residences, Jumeirah Beach Residence

Some apartments just have this easy feeling when you walk in and honestly this one bedroom place in Al Bateen Residences at Jumeirah Beach Residence does it right off the bat. You step inside and the light pretty much pulls you to the windows before you even get anywhere else. I caught myself just leaning against the glass for a while looking out at the sea and the edge of Bluewaters. The view just clears your mind a bit.

The apartment itself feels really open. In the living room the floor to ceiling windows make it bright even on a lazy afternoon. When I was there the sky was just starting to turn golden and everything inside got this calm glow. The kitchen actually looks like somewhere you would cook for real not just drop takeout. I noticed the new appliances straight off and there is enough counter space for morning coffee or even a proper meal with someone close. It is a semi open layout so you are not boxed into one room but you can keep the mess behind the corner if you like.

Wandering into the bedroom it is honestly bigger than I thought from the photos and you get another big stretch of window that faces the ocean. There are two built in wardrobes which is handy especially if you have more than just the usual clothes. I always check storage first and whoever thought out this space clearly did too. The en suite bathroom finished out really well. It is nothing flashy just looks fresh and solid feels nice to step into after a workout or a swim.

And about the balcony sometimes I think this is the best spot in the place. There is enough space to bring a chair out and just sit in the wind. Late afternoons are great up here with the sound of the sea and the low noise from JBR down below. Sometimes you can hear music drifting up from the beach cafés or kids playing on the sand. It is that classic Dubai beachfront vibe but it feels a bit private at the same time.

One thing I like about Al Bateen Residences is how easy everything is. Pet friendly is one thing I keep hearing is hard to come by so if you have a dog or cat you are covered here. Swimming pool gym covered parking all included so you are not running around the city for basic stuff. The pool is actually a spot anybody would use especially in the Dubai summer and the gym gets a good breeze from time to time which makes a difference.

Being right in the heart of Jumeirah Beach Residence you are never far from whatever you need. Walk downstairs and it is all there bars restaurants coffee places small markets and loads of shops. I saw a couple of people just running out for groceries in their flip flops and nobody really cares what you are wearing. Down on JBR Walk you get a mix of locals and tourists and even early in the morning someone is jogging or walking their dog. Plus for days when you do not want to drive public transport is nearby so you are not stuck if you want to pop into the rest of Dubai.

This apartment is unfurnished so you get to make it your own which I think is a good thing. Sometimes you walk into a place that is overdone but here you get a blank slate with just good light and that always present sea view outside every window. Built up area is roomy enough at just over one thousand square feet so you do not feel cramped.

All in all this is one of those spots that feels grounded but still offers the Dubai beachfront lifestyle everyone wants to try at least once.
