Emerald Palace Group, which owns the Raffles the Palm Dubai. At that size, the
apartment is larger than the entire White House, home to the U.S. president.

“Transcending the ordinary, this remarkable penthouse seeks to provide an
exceptional lifestyle that seamlessly combines elegance, convenience and
practicality,” Seran Gheorghe, vice president of EPG and director of sales for
Raffles the Palm Dubai Residences, said in a statement.

Designed in collaboration with Miami-based architectural firm YoDezeen, the
penthouse is set to feature “a contemporary design with a dash of modernity and
elegance,” the listing said.

A private elevator whisks guests and residents to the Grand Salon on the first
level of the triplex, which offers a large sitting room with access to the terrace
and views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline. There’s also a dining area with
a table big enough for 20 guests and a kitchen with Teppanyaki cooking
surfaces.

Other amenities of the residence include a private gym, a spa and wellness area
with a cryogenic room, a hay relaxation room—which uses the freshly cut
material to promote relaxation—a cigar lounge and a bar offering 360-degree
views.

Outside, there’s a bar and barbecue area, minigolf within a meditation garden,
indoor/outdoor cinema lounge and a basketball court. There are also 10 parking
places.

The penthouse is expected to be ready about 15 months after going into
contract.

Luxury residential sales in Dubai had a banner year in 2023, and is on track to
continue this year. The super penthouse aims to take advantage of the city’s
explosive growth, Gheorghe noted.

“Our listing of this exceptional super-penthouse holds special significance,
considering Dubai’s recent central positioning in the global real estate market
and a growing demand for luxury properties by numerous ultra-high-net-worth
individuals,” he said. “We firmly believe that the sale of this lavish residence
would mark another significant milestone in the history of Dubai real estate.”
