The Sky Palace at Palm Jumeirah

Orla residential complex is currently under construction on the outer ring of the archipelago. A penthouse here sells for USD 104,000,000.
The Orla project links three 13-floor towers constructed based on a design of the famous Foster + Partners studio. In total, the development will consist of three penthouses, three Sky Palaces, as the developer calls them. One of the penthouses already on sale has seven bedrooms and the same number of bathrooms.

The total area of the Palace exceeds 4,500 square metres, and this is more than the square footage of each of the two mansions also featured in Orla. The penthouse has three floors. In other words, to all intents and purposes, this is a personal villa on the roof of a high-rise building.
Orla’s residents have been promised a private beach and several community pools. Meanwhile, penthouse owners will also have two private outdoor pools, one located in the middle of the roof garden with a panoramic view of the city and the Persian Gulf.
The residential complex will have various amenities, so that the residents will have access to most recreational facilities without having to leave the comfort of their home. The community will provide restaurants, a spa, a small cinema, a fitness centre, a yoga and cycling studio, a business centre with two meeting rooms, a library and even a grooming salon for pets.
