The Alba Residences is OMNIYAT’s most poetic expression of ultra-luxury living, a sculptural, sea-facing masterpiece on Palm Jumeirah, managed by the legendary Dorchester Collection and shaped in collaboration with the visionary studio of Zaha Hadid Architects. Limited to just fifty-three residences, The Alba is conceived as a rare, collectible address for a global elite: a building where architecture, hospitality and craftsmanship converge to create homes that are as much works of art as places to live. Its name evokes the first light of dawn, and the residence is designed to greet the sea and the sunrise from every principal room.
OMNIYAT is one of Dubai’s foremost ultra-prime developers, renowned for mastering “The Art of Elevation” and for a portfolio of icons including The Opus, One at Palm Jumeirah and The Lana, Dorchester Collection. The Alba continues that lineage, merging OMNIYAT’s obsessive pursuit of design and quality with Dorchester Collection’s century of hospitality mastery to deliver a fully serviced, hotel-managed home of extraordinary refinement.
The collection comprises expansive three and four-bedroom residences, offered in both simplex and duplex configurations, ranging from generous apartments of around 1,800 square feet to sweeping duplexes of over 6,900 square feet. Each home is defined by fluid, Hadid-signature curves, floor-to-ceiling glazing, private pools and expansive terraces that dissolve the boundary between interior and sea. Interiors are crafted from the finest materials and finished to bespoke standards, with generous ceiling heights, private lift access and layouts engineered to frame uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf, the Dubai Marina skyline and the endless horizon.
Amenities read like those of a private ultra-luxury resort: a private beach, a spectacular infinity pool, a spa and wellness sanctuary, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, a children’s pool and playgrounds, a private cinema and elegant restaurants, all wrapped in the seamless, discreet service of Dorchester Collection and round-the-clock concierge. Every residence enjoys its own private pool and terrace, elevating the sense of sanctuary and privacy that defines life at The Alba.
The location is beyond replication. A beachfront position on Palm Jumeirah, the world’s most recognised man-made island, combined with Dorchester Collection management and Zaha Hadid design places The Alba among the most collectible residential assets on earth, with values underpinned by absolute scarcity and deep, international ultra-high-net-worth demand. Buyers also qualify for the UAE’s ten-year Golden Visa.
Pricing starts from approximately AED 20 million, with duplexes and larger four-bedroom homes positioned significantly higher and the rarest configurations offered on request; indicative figures should be confirmed at reservation. A 50/50 payment plan applies, with the detailed schedule and handover timeline provided on application. Enquire through Lux Abacus for direct developer access, priority selection and discreet, expert guidance on one of Palm Jumeirah’s most exceptional addresses.
For the world’s most discerning buyers, The Alba represents something increasingly rare in Dubai: a genuinely limited, brand-managed, architect-signed residence on irreplaceable beachfront land. With only fifty-three homes, Dorchester Collection stewardship and the enduring prestige of Palm Jumeirah, it offers both an exceptional place to live and a defensively positioned store of value, the kind of trophy asset that international ultra-high-net-worth collectors seek precisely because it cannot be reproduced. Whether acquired as a principal residence, a seasonal retreat or a legacy holding, The Alba is designed to remain among the most coveted addresses in the region for generations.
