Marasi Bay: A Visionary Waterfront Destination by OMNIYAT
Introduction to Marasi Bay
Marasi Bay represents an ambitious vision from OMNIYAT, designed to redefine luxury living by creating an ultra-luxury waterfront destination. This innovative project offers a sophisticated blend of upscale residences, premium workspaces, stellar hospitality, Michelin-starred dining, leisure activities, and wellness experiences.
Anchoring Luxury at Marasi Bay Marina
At the southern edge of Marasi Bay lies the Marasi Bay Marina, a luxurious facility that serves as a focal point for residents and visitors alike. This marina features exceptional amenities, including the Signature Pavilion, a unique floating retail space that enhances the shopping experience. With direct access to the Dubai Canal, guests can explore the city’s spectacular waterfront areas while bypassing the usual traffic hassles.
Upcoming Developments
The first major project to launch in this expansive waterfront area is The Lana Hotel and Residences, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, which opened its doors in early 2024. Following this, two residential masterpieces, VELA and VELA Viento, alongside an ultra-luxury office tower named ENARA by OMNIYAT, are slated for completion by 2027. These developments are poised to solidify Marasi Bay’s status as a premier living destination.
Connectivity and Accessibility
Marasi Bay is strategically connected to several key areas, including Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, DIFC, and Dubai International Airport. This seamless connectivity enhances the appeal of Marasi Bay as a vibrant hub of elevated lifestyle experiences, making it a top choice for both residents and visitors.
Marasi Bay Island
In addition to the marina, OMNIYAT is developing Marasi Bay Island. This reclamation project will transform the northern side of the bay into a lively lifestyle destination. One of its standout features will be the Burj Khalifa District’s only urban beach club, further adding to the luxurious offerings of Marasi Bay.
The Vision of Sunset Park
Complementing the overall concept of Marasi Bay is Sunset Park, a private floating island that spans 30,000 square feet. Designed specifically for residents, this landscaped island acts as the bay’s green heart. It promises wellness and community spaces with picnic areas, pet-friendly zones, and private dining facilities. Alongside these features, residents will find a padel court and a dedicated children’s park located near VELA Viento.
Signature Luxury: The Lana, Dorchester Collection
OMNIYAT’s vision is exemplified by the recent inauguration of The Lana. As Dorchester Collection’s first hotel in the Middle East, The Lana is designed by the renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners. It also boasts the region’s first Dior Spa, setting a new standard for luxury in Dubai.
The penthouse in The Lana Residences recently shattered records as the most expensive property sold in the Burj Khalifa District, underlining the demand for luxury real estate in the area. In addition, the The Lana Promenade enhances the waterfront experience with delightful dining and retail options, including the newly opened Isola Space, which offers exhibition zones and design retail that brings a taste of Milan to the Middle East.
Introducing ENARA by OMNIYAT
Completing this ultra-luxury ecosystem is ENARA by OMNIYAT, an ultra-premium commercial tower that caters to high-end businesses. This innovative structure combines top-tier hospitality with forward-thinking office designs. ENARA is particularly remarkable as it has received LEED v4 Platinum pre-certification alongside Wiredscore and Smartscore Platinum certifications, marking it as one of Dubai’s most advanced sustainable projects.
Exceptional Return on Investment
The developments at Marasi Bay have significantly influenced property values in the area. Initially priced at AED 4,000 per square foot, residences in The Lana have now reached AED 8,375 per square foot as of Q3 2024, reflecting a 109% increase. Similarly, VELA has proven to be a sound investment, demonstrating a robust demand by selling for AED 8,235 per square foot in Q2 2025—a nearly 20% rise from its average price.
Spotlight on VELA Viento
For investors looking for prime opportunities within Marasi Bay, VELA Viento stands out. Crafted in collaboration with esteemed architects Foster + Partners and the Parisian design duo Gilles & Boissier, VELA Viento aims to elevate the standard of luxury waterfront residences in the city. Rising over 100 meters, this development will feature an exclusive collection of 29 simplex and duplex units, each designed with expansive terraces and stunning views of Dubai’s skyline.
Luxurious Amenities
Residents of VELA Viento will enjoy various state-of-the-art amenities, including:
- A full-floor sky amenity deck with an infinity pool offering breathtaking views
- Dedicated sun decks and members’ lounge areas
- Additional facilities at the podium level, such as an indoor lap pool and a children’s pool
Moreover, residents will have access to the facilities at VELA and The Lana, enriching their living experience within this exclusive community.
Seamless Integration with Marasi Bay
The connection between VELA Viento and the broader Marasi Bay amenities is enhanced by a landscaped waterfront promenade, ensuring residents enjoy easy access to world-class dining, leisure, and wellness facilities.
Marasi Bay is setting a new benchmark for luxury living, emphasizing the integration of high-end lifestyle experiences alongside innovative architecture and design. With its comprehensive offerings, it’s positioned to be a landmark destination in Dubai for both residents and visitors alike.
