This two bedroom apartment up on one of the higher floors at The Grand in Dubai Creek Harbour

Some places just make you want to slow down as soon as you come in and honestly this two bedroom apartment up on one of the higher floors at The Grand in Dubai Creek Harbour feels exactly like that. There is something about the way the light pours through those tall windows that gets me every time. I stood there for a moment the first time just sort of looking out at the skyline and the creek below. You get these huge views and for a second it almost feels like you could reach out and touch the Burj Khalifa from here or maybe just sit with a coffee and watch the city wake up. There is enough sunlight to keep everything feeling bright and airy pretty much all day.

Inside, it does not have that closed off feeling some places get. The layout is open so even making dinner or chatting with friends while someone is stretched out on the couch just feels easy. Honestly this is one of those kitchens you might actually want to use. I could picture a couple of friends sharing a laugh while someone cooks or just setting down your groceries and not feeling cramped at all. It sort of blends into the living space and flows out toward the window. You might just find yourself grabbing a book and sitting by the glass with your feet up. 

The bedrooms both feel like proper spaces, not afterthoughts. Sometimes in these newer buildings you find the second bedroom gets really tiny, but not here. Both have good storage, and the main bedroom really gives you that morning light. You will probably want to open the curtains every day just for that view. There is something calming about waking up and seeing water and sky and city all at once. The bathrooms are tucked away for privacy and have just what you need without feeling overdone. Pretty simple actually, but it works.

Step onto either of the private balconies and you get a whole other perspective. I spent a little while one morning out there just watching boats drift along and you can catch some of the sounds from the promenade down below—people laughing, sometimes music, sometimes just the wind coming in off the water. It is quiet up here though and feels separated from all the movement beneath. You get a bit of the best of both, honestly.

The building itself, The Grand, sits right along the water so you are only minutes from the marina promenade if you like a stroll in the evenings or want to grab a coffee nearby in the morning. There are central parks close by too where you always seem to see families and runners or just people out with their dogs. The viewing point is not far either so if you want to catch a sunset or just take a break from the day, it is right there. The Creek Harbour community is growing but it still feels calm compared to some of the busier parts of Dubai. You get just enough buzz, but not too much.

When it comes to facilities, I have to say the infinity pool on the promenade level is a bit of a showstopper. Some afternoons you almost forget you are in the city up there. There is a really good gym too, and for anyone who loves being outdoors, the BBQ areas tend to fill up with neighbours on the weekends sharing food and just hanging out. You'll notice that the people here actually use the amenities, which says something. Plus you have parking downstairs so no stress with groceries or getting around.

This apartment is currently unfurnished, so you get the freedom to make it look the way you want. With all that space and light, honestly, it won't take much to make it feel like home pretty fast. It is ready for you and the move in date is not far off at all.

Really, the only way to find out if it fits you is to come by and walk through yourself. If you have questions or just want to see what it feels like in person, just ask. At LuxuryProperty.com, we want your next move in Dubai Creek Harbour to feel natural and comfortable from the start.
