Vela Viento, Foster + Partners Architects

Adding to Dubai’s ever-evolving skyline, Omniyat is scripting a new chapter of luxury with the introduction of Vela Viento at Marasi Bay. A development on the country’s bustling Marasi Bay, the establishment will soon become one of the most coveted ultra-luxury waterfront communities.

The essence of Vela Viento is captured in its name, drawing from the Latin words for ‘sail’ and ‘wind.’ This nomenclature embodies the project’s essence—a dynamic and forward-moving force propelled by the invisible energy of innovation and design. Architectural giants Foster + Partners, alongside the Parisian design maestros Gilles & Boissier, are the visionaries behind Vela Viento.

Surrounded by lush landscaping and majestic layers of water, the grand, ramping approach leads you to an elevated lobby. Here, the Burj Khalifa is framed as a perfect view between the airy elevations of Vela Viento. Step into the warm welcome of Dorchester Collection’s exceptional care, where your valet and doorman await you. The double-height entrance lounge, designed by Gilles & Bossier, provides a wonderful first impression and a luxurious meeting place for residents and visitors.

Their collaboration ensures a seamless blend of cutting-edge design and timeless elegance, infusing every aspect of Vela Viento with an air of sophistication and luxury. The design ethos of Vela Viento is characterized by sweeping horizontal lines and gentle curves that speak a language of beauty and permanence. The integration of light, shadow, and space is a defining feature, crafting environments that are both grand and welcoming.

The architectural narrative extends into the residences themselves, where the concept of luxury is reimagined. The interiors, fully furnished by Gilles & Boissier, showcase a refined palette and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that each residence is a masterpiece of design. The 92 residences range from two to four-bedroom apartments and are crowned by two extraordinary penthouses. The residences exemplify the delights of indoor-outdoor living, with select residences boasting private terrace pools and double-height spaces. Generous proportions create an ambience of vastness, ideal for relaxation, entertainment, and savouring the panoramic views of Marasi Bay, Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai.

Christopher Cowdray, President at Dorchester Collection, said: “Vela Viento will embody the pinnacle of luxury living, seamlessly merging Dorchester Collection’s ethos with Omniyat’s legacy of creating iconic masterpieces. Together, we’re not just offering bespoke services but curating lifestyles. Our ongoing collaboration with Omniyat establishes a global paradigm for excellence in hospitality, setting a benchmark beyond Dubai.”

At the heart of Vela Viento is an unmatched level of amenities that cater to every facet of luxury living. The Sky Amenities Deck, located 100 meters above ground, offers residents an infinity pool, state-of-the-art gym, yoga studio, and lounge areas, all with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The podium level adds to this with indoor pools, a spa, and meeting rooms, providing spaces for relaxation and business alike.

Omniyat has envisioned this development as a vibrant cultural hub, where residents and visitors alike can experience the best of what Dubai has to offer. The connection to Omniyat’s wider portfolio through the Marasi Bay waterfront promenade allows for an integrated lifestyle that includes access to exclusive clubs and facilities across the city.
