OMNIYAT Acquires Marasi Bay Island to Launch Dubai's First Urban Beach Club in the Burj Khalifa District
Leading luxury real estate developer OMNIYAT has acquired Marasi Bay Island, a reclaimed land project in the prestigious Burj Khalifa District, marking a significant expansion of its ultra-luxury lifestyle ecosystem. The acquisition is set to pave the way for Dubai’s first urban beach club in the area, complemented by a series of curated waterfront experiences.
The Marasi Bay development, already shaping up to be a premier destination for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), integrates upscale residential offerings, hospitality, wellness, and business spaces. Strategically located, the development connects seamlessly to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, DIFC, Dubai Design District, and Dubai International Airport.
Expansion of a Luxurious Waterfront Ecosystem
OMNIYAT has also unveiled additional resort-style amenities on the south side of Marasi Bay to enhance the district’s appeal. These include Marasi Bay Marina, which offers berths for superyachts, a dedicated Marina Yacht Club, tender boat services, jetty lounges, and the overwater Signature Pavilion – a 10,000-square-foot venue for retail and events.
Public and private recreational spaces will include a padel court, art trail, running track, and children’s play areas. For OMNIYAT residents, exclusive facilities like Sunset Park—a 30,000-square-foot floating island—will feature wellness spaces, chef’s kitchens, private dining areas, meditation gardens, a yoga terrace, dog parks, and jetty drop-off access.
VELA Viento and World-Class Residential Living
At the core of the residential offering is VELA Viento, Dorchester Collection, Dubai—a 180-metre architectural marvel designed by Foster + Partners. The project includes 95 high-end residences, each boasting panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa and surrounding waterfront. Features include expansive terraces, terrace pools, suspended dining rooms, and interiors by Gilles & Boissier, with optional designs by Banda Studio for select residences.
VELA Viento offers exceptional amenities, including a Sky Amenities Deck with an infinity pool, double-height gym, and yoga studio. Ground-level facilities include indoor pools, spa, meeting rooms, and direct access to the promenade connecting to The Lana Hotel.
Building on the Success of The Lana and ENARA
OMNIYAT’s vision builds on the success of The Lana Hotel and Residences, Dorchester Collection, which opened in Q1 2024 as the brand’s first property in the Middle East. The Lana features the region’s first Dior Spa and has already set sales records with its luxury penthouses.
The group is also developing ENARA by OMNIYAT, an ultra-luxury commercial tower set for completion in 2027. Designed to meet the needs of elite global business clients, ENARA will include premium office spaces with direct access to jogging and cycling paths, and gourmet dining options along a vibrant promenade.
Redefining Waterfront Living
“With a re-imagined approach to urban living, we are reshaping Marasi Bay into Dubai’s definitive ultra-luxury waterfront destination,” said Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman of OMNIYAT. “Marasi Bay Island is another jewel in its crown, offering exceptional waterfront experiences. Together with the newly launched amenities, we are curating a one-of-a-kind lifestyle ecosystem for global citizens.”
Set to become a hub for globally renowned brands, artists, and innovators, Marasi Bay reinforces Dubai’s status as a city of the future—where lifestyle, luxury, and innovation converge.
