1 bedroom apartment in Marina Promenade, Dubai Marina

Some apartments just feel like somewhere you can finally put your keys down and breathe. Walking into this one bedroom place in Shemara Tower at Marina Promenade I noticed the light right away. You get this sense of height and brightness because it sits up on one of the higher floors so the views just stretch out some days the sea almost blends with the sky and you catch little flashes of boats moving if you glance out from the balcony. The truth is you end up standing by the window longer than you mean to especially in the evenings when Marina lights start to flicker on and there is that buzz from people walking along the promenade down below.

Honestly this is not like those apartments where you feel you are in a hotel or just passing through. This one bedroom apartment at Marina Promenade is really set up for everyday living. The layout works well whether you are on your own or sharing sometimes. You have a proper en suite bedroom which gives you that nice sense of privacy plus the guest bathroom comes in handier than you would think. The kitchen feels like a space you would want to actually cook in rather than just heat something up and that always makes a difference if you like to make proper meals. There is a good bit of bench space and you can see out over the city as you cook. Sometimes I stand out there on the balcony and watch the marina just waiting for the day to slow down a little before heading inside.

What I like is the way Shemara Tower uses the space in this apartment. Even with all the glass and those views you still get these corners where you could set up a reading chair or maybe just sit quietly with a coffee. If you work from home or just want somewhere to take a call you could see how easy it would be to settle in and not feel boxed in. Some other Dubai Marina apartments can feel a bit narrow but here it just feels easy. Even if friends come around there is enough room to not feel crowded and the living area opens naturally out to the balcony so it never gets stuffy.

It is worth noting this is offered unfurnished so you get to make it your own space right from the start. No one else's artwork or couches to navigate. Plus the apartment is chiller free which is a relief once that summer heat rolls in. Parking is secure which really helps in Dubai Marina since finding a decent spot can be its own kind of daily stress. You also get all the Marina Promenade amenities that make life smoother in the city such as a proper gym and a swimming pool that always seems just the right temperature. There is also a squash court if that is your thing and a kids' play area you will notice families using on weekends. Sometimes you see the same friendly faces at the lifts or down in the lobby so you get a mix of privacy and community vibe. It is friendly but never pushy.

Honestly the location might be my favorite part. Marina Promenade is right at the heart of Dubai Marina so Marina Walk is right downstairs. Early mornings have a nice vibe if you are a runner or like to walk the dog as the breeze comes off the water. Kids play down by the splash pad near the beach which is really just across the street so it never feels like effort to get a bit of sand under your feet. The coffee shops are always close by and there are plenty of supermarkets for quick errands. If you forget something it is never a pain. The metro station is nearby too so if you need to commute into work or zip around Dubai you just head out the door and you are on your way. Even calling a cab here is pretty easy.

Security wise it always feels safe in Shemara Tower. The team is around but not all up in your business and if you ever come in late you never feel awkward. If you have friends over there is guest parking so you never have to worry about where they will park. This is just a comfortable one bedroom apartment for rent in Dubai Marina that does not feel cramped or cold.

You honestly will only know if it is the right spot if you come see it in person. If you want to chat about details or just walk through and get a feel for the place let me know. At LuxuryProperty.com we try to make your next move in Dubai Marina as smooth and comfortable as it should be.
