About The Alba Residences

Palm Jumeirah Apartments by Zaha Hadid

The Alba Residences sits on Palm Jumeirah, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and managed by Dorchester Collection. The scheme comprises 60 luxury residences and 3 super penthouses, offered as 3 and 4-bedroom units in a mix of simplex and duplex layouts, some with dual-aspect configurations.

Ceiling heights exceed three metres throughout, and every residence opens onto floor-to-ceiling windows. The building's curved form, arcing from a tropical landscape toward the water, is conceived as a single architectural gesture rather than a conventional tower block, distinguishing it among off plan projects Palm Jumeirah has seen to date.

Dorchester Collection Managed Living

Dorchester Collection operates the residence services, drawing on the same operating standards applied across its global hotel portfolio. Residents have access to 24/7 concierge, housekeeping, in-residence catering, valet parking, doorman and porter services, and bespoke event planning.

This is Dorchester Collection's first sea-front garden retreat hotel, and the residential component shares its service infrastructure, positioning The Alba among the more service-intensive Palm Jumeirah penthouses and residences on the market.

Wellness and Spa Infrastructure

A dedicated wellness programme spans roughly 3,000 sqm, including diagnosis pods, longevity therapies, infrared saunas, cryotherapy rooms, polar plunges, a scalp and hair salon, and movement studios for yoga and pilates. A central landscaped oasis covering 25,000 sqm, designed by Vladimir Djurovic, surrounds the towers.

Each residence has its own private plunge pool on the terrace, alongside Juliette balconies to every bedroom and outdoor jacuzzis available on select master wing balconies. Additional shared facilities include a private cinema, residents' lounge, children's room and a separate children's pool.

Sustainability Targets

OMNIYAT has stated an intention to pursue LEED and WELL Gold certification for the project, applying sustainability and wellness-focused construction principles from the design stage rather than retrofitting them later.

Palm Jumeirah Property Investment Case

The development includes 250 metres of private beachfront, a scarce feature among Palm Jumeirah villas and apartment developments where direct beach access is limited to a handful of frontline plots. OMNIYAT's prior Palm Jumeirah projects, including One at Palm Jumeirah and ORLA, both delivered in partnership with Dorchester Collection, anchor the brand's track record in this specific stretch of the island.

For buyers assessing apartments for sale in Palm Jumeirah, the combination of a named architect, a hospitality operator, and beachfront position places The Alba in the upper tier of properties for sale in Palm Jumeirah rather than the broader mid-market apartment stock elsewhere on the island.

Location

Palm Jumeirah Neighbourhood Character

The Alba Residences occupies a position on Palm Jumeirah among established Dorchester Collection developments including ORLA, ORLA Infinity, One at Palm Jumeirah and AVA at Palm Jumeirah, all developed by OMNIYAT. Atlantis, The Palm and The Royal Atlantis sit nearby on the crescent, giving the immediate stretch a hospitality-led character distinct from the trunk's residential villa communities.

Views from the site take in the Arabian Gulf, the Dubai Marina skyline, Burj Al Arab and the World Islands, positioning residents within walking distance of the beach itself rather than relying on shuttle access to shared amenities.
