Alba Dorchester Collection

Four curved towers with a 3,000 sqm medical wellness centre on the waterfront

Alba Dorchester Collection sits on a 26,000 sqm plot along Palm Jumeirah's trunk. The development comprises four interconnected buildings housing 137 residences: 72 simplex and duplex units in the Alba Residences, 65 hotel-serviced apartments in the Resort Residences and three super-penthouses. What sets this project apart from its Palm Jumeirah neighbours is the integrated 3,000 sqm Wellness Centre, built around diagnostic equipment, regenerative therapies and integrative medicine. This goes far beyond the typical spa offering found in comparable developments. Handover is scheduled for December 2028.

Zaha Hadid Architects and Vladimir Djurovic shape the site

The façades feature continuous curves clad in travertine with bronze accents. Zaha Hadid Architects eliminated right angles from the floor plates, allowing daylight to penetrate deep into every unit. This flowing geometry creates a sense of movement that extends from the lobby to the private terraces. Lebanese landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic designed the 26,000 sqm of gardens, terraces and water features surrounding the buildings. Shaded pathways wind through dense tropical planting and wellness lawns, leading down to the private beach. The transition from forest to sand takes roughly three minutes on foot.

Furnished or shell: two purchase options under one roof

Omniyat offers two distinct products within the same development. Alba Furnished delivers turnkey residences fitted out by the project's interior designers in a contemporary style. Alba Unfurnished hands over bare shells with identical volumes (3.2 metre ceilings), structure and technical finishes, letting buyers impose their own aesthetic. This dual approach targets two buyer profiles: those seeking immediate move-in convenience and those who want creative control. All units share the same amenities and services. The three super-penthouses occupy the top floors with private pools and panoramic terraces facing the Dubai skyline.

Dorchester Collection services embedded in daily life

The Resort Residences operate under a service agreement with Dorchester Collection, the British hotel group behind The Dorchester in London and the Plaza Athénée in Paris. This partnership includes 24-hour concierge, valet parking, priority booking at the complex's spa and restaurants, and housekeeping on request. The Sunset Lounge on the upper level provides 400 sqm of indoor and outdoor seating with unobstructed sunset views over Palm Jumeirah. A business lounge caters to residents working remotely. These permanent service layers explain part of the project's premium pricing relative to standalone residential towers on the island.

Trunk location, direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road

Alba occupies a position on Palm Jumeirah's trunk, midway between the crescent and the mainland. This location provides direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road without crossing the often-congested residential fronds. Dolphin Bay lies 1.7 km away, Sufouh Beach 3.9 km and Emirates Golf Club 6.4 km. The Palm Jumeirah monorail serves the project, with a twelve-minute ride to Nakheel Mall station. The immediate neighbourhood already includes several Omniyat projects such as One at Palm Jumeirah and AVA at Palm Jumeirah, creating a coherent micro-district under single developer control.

Target buyer: affluent families and Gulf-based purchasers

Prices start at AED 18.2 million and rise to AED 77 million for the penthouses. This positioning targets wealthy families seeking a primary or secondary residence with permanent hotel-grade services. The 3,000 sqm wellness centre also attracts buyers interested in longevity programmes and preventive medicine. Purchasers from the Gulf, familiar with Dorchester Collection standards through stays in London or Paris, represent a significant share of early reservations according to market data. Freehold title grants full ownership regardless of nationality.
