Dubai-based holding company Meraas and international luxury brand Bulgari have announced the launch of Bulgari Residences Dubai as part of the 1.7 million sqft Bulgari Resort and Residences on the Jumeira Bay Island.
The Bulgari Resort Dubai at Jumeira Bay Island, the fifth Bulgari Hotels and Resorts property in the world, will comprise 101 rooms and suites in the main hotel buildings, as well as 20 hotel villas and a full range of luxury hotel facilities. The resort, designed by Italian architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners, will offer a mix of traditional and modern themes.
Characterised by its efforts to create perfect harmony with nature through its unique architectural style, the Bulgari Resort and Residences Dubai aims to seamlessly integrate the physical elements present on the Jumeira Bay Island. For instance, while the ubiquitous use of limestone is reminiscent of the golden sands of the desert, it also harks back to the timeless sculpted architecture of Southern Italy. Limestone has also been generously used in the boundary walls of the development, while the podiums are similarly clad in golden limestone. In addition, the lava stone and basalt paving create a sophisticated graphic contrast for public space – that in architectural terms makes up the ‘inner’ urban environment.
The master development, Bulgari Resort and Residences Dubai, is scheduled for completion in 2017.
The property will comprise 165 apartments, eight penthouses and 15 mansions, with a promising view from every unit. While the apartments range from one to four bedrooms within six free standing buildings, the mansions offer a variation of three to six bedrooms. In addition to common areas such as private landscaped gardens, swimming pools and gymnasiums, residents can enjoy a host of dining and sporting options on site, including the 50 berths Marina and Bulgari Yacht Club and benefit from the unmatched service standard of the adjacent Bulgari Resort.
