Overview

A grand perspective on calm

The peerless glass apartments of Al Manara Residence reflect the pale blue sky and turquoise water around them. Cube profiles rise up the building; a gentle pattern of alternating blue hues. These form the duplexes; bedroom levels project out from the facade allowing ample internal space. Living room levels are edged with long balconies commanding 270-degree views taking in the island, the marina and as far as the eye can see down Al Raha Beach, set to be one of the greatest waterfront cities in the world. Facing the sunrise out over the water, 2-bedroom apartment layouts follow the graceful curve of the island. Larger 3-bed apartments incorporate a maid's room, while a substantial 4-bed penthouse - the highest point on the whole island - is complete with study and private outdoor deck off the main bedroom.

All around Al Manara, large areas of glass let in natural light and the superb views. Layouts are open-plan, extending space from living and dining areas through to kitchens and stairways. Fully equipped bathrooms and kitchens highlight elegant high quality fittings, with natural stone tile floors and a mix of recessed and feature lighting throughout. Rooms bathe in sunshine, from sunrise to sunset, and balconies catch the gentle sea breeze. Blessed with such qualities, a wise investment can't fail to be a beautiful home.

Opposite the pool deck, Al Manara residents enjoy the advantages of Al Bandar living. Take a fitness class in the gym studio on a midweek evening, and lounge by the pool on the weekend or sail off on your boat - the pace of life is up to you. Parking is just below but there's no need to sit in traffic when the shops are right on your front doorstep and the whole of Al Raha Beach is a boat-ride away. From your elevated view-point, Al Manara life is the height of island style.
