Luxhabitat Sotheby’s International Realty, a leading luxury real estate company, has reached new heights with the sale of an exclusive penthouse for AED420 million ($114.37 million) in Marsa Al Arab, Dubai. 

 

This achievement now establishes Luxhabitat Sotheby’s International Realty as the record holder for the most expensive apartment ever sold in Dubai, with an impressive value of AED17,000 per sq ft, the company said. 

 

The sale was achieved by Taieser Al Saati, an executive partner at Luxhabitat Sotheby’s International Realty, and surpasses the cost of a Bulgari Lighthouse apartment which sold for AED410 million earlier this year. 

 

Situated at the Marsa Al Arab Hotel, the Marsa Al Arab penthouse commands the highest floor, spanning an impressive 24,628 sq ft. This extraordinary living space boasts 17,000 sq ft of meticulously designed outdoor areas, featuring a private pool and 360-degree ocean vistas of Dubai, including the iconic Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. 

 

Accessible through a dedicated lobby and equipped with two private lifts, residents are granted exclusive entry into this majestic penthouse sanctuary. Additionally, the residence benefits from proximity to the newly constructed superyacht marina, further enhancing its unparalleled luxury experience.

 

With a design influenced by futuristic superyachts, Marsa Al Arab Hotel will feature 386 rooms and suites, 4 penthouses, as well as 83 luxury hotel apartment suites set amidst abundant private gardens. The lavish landscape of the resort includes beautiful glittering waters, green terraces, and rich gardens, as well as private cabana areas and pavilions. It features a wide array of spectacularly built pools, spas and wellness facilities, along with more than 10 restaurants and bars, curated by internationally acclaimed restaurant designers. The unique design, all-encompassing amenities and top-of-the-range facilities ensure a wonderful experience that meets every need.
