Dubai’s landscape of luxury architecture and hospitality is evolving with The Alba, a new hotel by the Dorchester Collection. At a time when global cities race to build the tallest, the grandest, and the most ostentatious, OMNIYAT’s latest venture, The Alba, takes the UAE’s step in a different direction.
Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, this $1.9 billion project represents a new chapter embodying the belief that luxury is found in the balance between art, nature, and privacy.
The project marks a collaboration between three powerhouses: OMNIYAT, renowned for its ultra-luxury real estate, the Dorchester Collection, synonymous with world-class hospitality, and Zaha Hadid Architects, famed for their cutting-edge architectural designs.
Set to rise on the shores of Palm Jumeirah by 2028, The Alba promises to deliver a unique blend of beachfront luxury, privacy, and breathtaking design, making it a landmark destination for high-net-worth individuals and discerning residents.
The Monaco Yacht Show, the ultimate playground for the world’s elite, provided the perfect stage for The Alba’s grand debut. With the glittering Mediterranean as a backdrop and an audience of VVIP guests, the event was a statement of the sheer exclusivity of the project.
The Alba offers a selection of ultra-luxurious residences, meticulously designed to provide privacy, serenity, and unmatched comfort. The development boasts a variety of residential options, including two-bedroom furnished units, three-bedroom unfurnished residences, as well as expansive three and four-bedroom simplex and duplex units.
At the pinnacle of luxury are the penthouses, featuring breathtaking views of Dubai Marina, Burj Al Arab, and Burj Khalifa. Each residence is designed with expansive interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private terraces, making them ideal for those seeking an exclusive retreat in the heart of Dubai.
The Alba’s interiors are a testament to opulence, offering bespoke design packages created in collaboration with world-leading interior designers, allowing residents to tailor their living spaces to their tastes. Each residence is so spacious one could get lost — and honestly, who wouldn’t want to be “lost” in a penthouse overlooking the Burj Khalifa?
One of the standout features of The Alba is its association with the Dorchester Collection, globally revered for its impeccable service and luxury hospitality. With The Alba being Dorchester’s second hotel in Dubai, residents are guaranteed the same five-star experience as hotel guests. Each residence is managed with the level of care and attention to detail that Dorchester Collection is famous for, ensuring that residents enjoy privacy, serenity, and the highest standard of service in their daily lives. The fusion of Dorchester’s legendary hospitality and OMNIYAT’s focus on creating privacy-centric environments sets The Alba apart from other luxury developments.
The Alba’s amenities are designed to cater to every aspect of a luxury lifestyle, offering an extraordinary range of facilities that rival the best in the world. Private pools for each residence? Of course. A wellness centre that’s bigger (and more luxurious) than most day spas? Naturally.
Residents can indulge in their private pools and outdoor jacuzzis, or relax on sun-drenched terraces that capture panoramic views of the iconic Dubai skyline. A vast wellness centre, the largest and most luxurious in Dubai, will be housed within the development, providing vitality pools, treatment rooms, fitness suites, and branded spa experiences.
Additionally, residents have access to beach areas, infinity pools, and private cabanas, perfect for socializing or unwinding. The landscape, designed by renowned architect Vladimir Djurovic, enhances the natural beauty of the development with cascading waterfalls and lush tropical gardens, further elevating The Alba’s reputation as a serene coastal sanctuary.
In a city known for its jaw-dropping landmarks, The Alba is poised to be Dubai’s next big icon, setting a whole new standard for luxury living. It becomes a synonym for living a life where the biggest worry is deciding between a dip a the pool or a spa treatment. OMNIYAT, Dorchester Collection, and Zaha Hadid Architects have teamed up to create a masterpiece that is as private as it is glamorous. And let’s face it, once one lives there, good luck ever wanting to leave.
