Channel Marie Antoinette excess by upping the ante and checking into the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai’s new Royal Penthouse
Over-the-top has become de rigueur in Dubai. So, it’s quite an achievement for a new reveal to cause a stir. And that’s exactly what the 850-square-metre split level Royal Penthouse, perched on the summit of the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira has gone and done. Looking to impress? Want to feel like you’re revelling in the ultimate luxury location? Here’s the answer.
Case in point, the private seven-metre-long plunge pool and accompanying sunbathing piscine, which are the focal point of the penthouse terrace and look out onto the panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf. Beside them, a large sunken dining and fire pit lounge is ready and waiting for celebratory gatherings. Nice as this is to experience solo, this alfresco space is made for entertaining. Not to be outdone, the indoors of the suite has everything a VIP visitor could ask for. There is the expansive king-size bed and adjacent pair of valet walk-in wardrobes. The en-suite marble bathroom comes complete with a steam room, a large walk-in shower and a deep soak tub with wide window views of the sea – it’s like having your own private spa, complete with LED lights and Bose speakers.
Other necessities to be ticked off the essentials list? A dining room that seats 16 comfortably with a neighbouring chef’s kitchen and a bar ready and waiting for a mixologist to take centre stage. There is even a private gym that has been outfitted with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment for those looking to get in a workout between time spent catching rays at the pool or catching up on emails in the kitted-out office.
The overarching look and feel of the penthouse, which is reached by a private elevator of course, is of refined understated luxury. The interior decor is an elevated mix of modern furniture and high-tech amenities. All of it crafted in soothing hues of blue, grey and cream to complement the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The final result of all of this attention to detail? In a city used to sprawling penthouses and spectacular suites, this penthouse has secured its spot as the ultimate luxury sanctuary in the sky.
