In line with its ethos of “crafting the unconventional by curating living canvasses that fulfil the aspirations of the world’s most discerning people”, leading real estate developer Omniyat is fashioning a series of uber-luxury Dorchester Collection homes in the most sought-after addresses in Dubai – Palm Jumeirah and Burj Khalifa District.

These distinctive homes all boast architectural design by the renowned British international architecture firm Foster + Partners and are managed by legendary hospitality brand Dorchester Collection.

The latest to join the assembly at Palm Jumeirah is Orla Infinity, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, which is set to seamlessly blend with the stunning surroundings, offering a resort-style living experience alongside its counterpart, Orla, Dorchester Collection Dubai. The integration of private gardens and expansive landscaping creates a vision of harmonious luxury living, contributing to The Orla Collection by Omniyat, which is valued at over $2 billion. 

Orla Infinity will have 20 duplex residences, each with unique features, such as double-height spaces.

Residents of The Orla Collection will have access to a range of exclusive amenities, including private cinemas, a cigar lounge, a wellness and fitness centre, and an exclusive beach club.

Boasting interior design by Yodezeen and landscaping by ZED Collective, Orla Infinity will have only 20 duplex residences, each with unique features, including direct lift access, double-height spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows. The standout feature is the spacious terraces housing private pools up to 18 m long, providing uninterrupted views of the city and sea. The addition of smart home automation ensures a luxurious and hassle-free living experience. 

On the new project, Founder and Chairman Mahdi Amjad says: “By blending functionality with architectural design, Omniyat is reinventing living spaces to be unique and far from the ordinary, while making a lasting impact on the city’s landscape.”

Ava at Palm Jumeirah ... the steel structure is expertly designed to incorporate large, cantilevered terraces.

Main construction works have commenced on the adjacent Orla, Dorchester Collection, with Innovo Build, one of the largest specialist high-end contractors in the UAE, responsible for its construction. The architectural masterpiece consists of three iconic structures set across a 29,000-sq-m beachfront plot that sits at the apex of the Palm’s crescent.

Comprising 85 two- to four-bedroom homes, three sky palaces and one of the largest private mansions on Palm Jumeirah, Orla, Dorchester Collection Dubai combines 270-degree sunrise to sunset views of the city skyline.

Orla will incorporate private terrace swimming pools at the end of large cantilevers that extend up to 13 m in length. The steel structure will employ curved-edge floor plates and a complex, multi-level slabs-and-formwork system to enable its intended form to come to life. In addition, Orla’s construction will involve extensive use of travertine – along with double-height and curved glazing panels – to the building’s façade, which will enhance its ultra-luxury feel.

The development will boast premium facilities and amenities, such as a private, resident-only beach club; a temperature-controlled outdoor infinity pool; a private cinema; a state-of-the-art fitness centre; a business centre with two meeting rooms, a boardroom, a multi-functional events space and library and cigar lounges.

The project is set to be delivered in Q2, 2026.

The other exclusive luxury residential offering coming up on Palm Jumeirah is Ava at Palm Jumeirah, Dorchester Collection, Dubai. Construction work on this project too is being implemented by Innovo Build.

The Vela, Dorchester Collection, Dubai ... construction work on the 150-m building began late last year.

To provide seamless living without boundaries within this one-of-its-kind tower, the architects and engineers of Ava at Palm Jumeirah say they have curated a distinct, unconventional steel structure in lieu of the traditional concrete, which will allow for thinner columns and beams across its dramatic spans, enabling the ‘sloping’ tower forms of the graceful design.

Testing the possibilities of engineering, the façade elements at Ava at Palm Jumeirah will reach unprecedented architectural standards with impressive floor-to-ceiling sliding doors to the main terrace area, curved glazing panels that align with the floor plate, all with the highest quality specifications to maintain both thermal and acoustic requirements, according to the engineers.  In addition, the steel structure is expertly designed to incorporate large, cantilevered terraces – exclusive to each individual resident’s curated living space, they added.

Ava at Palm Jumeirah occupies the first premium plot on Palm Jumeirah, next to Omniyat’s One at Palm Jumeirah, Dorchester Collection, Dubai. It will be home to 17 curated living spaces which will include a four-level Sky Palace that was recently sold for AED220 million ($60 million). 

Burj Khalifa District

Meanwhile, Omniyat says it has begun the handover of The Lana Residences, Dorchester Collection, Dubai – its first project to be delivered within Marasi Bay Marina following its acquisition of this dynamic waterfront space in the Burj Khalifa District in September last year.

The developer has also expanded its portfolio in this district with the launch early this year of its latest masterpiece, Vela Viento, Dorchester Collection, Dubai.

At Vela Viento, the architectural brilliance of Foster + Partners will meet the flair of French interior design of the renowned Parisian design duo, Gilles & Boissier.  The building’s architecture will enable seamless indoor-outdoor living, providing each residence with its own landscaped terrace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that invite expansive views of the Marasi waterfront, Dubai Canal, Burj Khalifa, and Downtown Dubai. Bespoke units will also feature private pools and double-height living spaces.

The Lana Residences ... homes are now being handed over to the owners.

In addition, Vela Viento will be crowned by two four-bedroom penthouses as well as three signature duplex apartments, which will each feature a ‘hanging’ dining room – a concept unique to this property, in which the spaces and bridges between the property’s two towers meet to create a space that offers a distinctive ‘in the sky’ residential experience.

Residents of Vela Viento will enjoy a number of luxurious amenities at a height of 100 m, including an infinity-edge swimming pool, double-height gym, yoga studio, sun deck, and lounges. Additional amenities will be located on the podium level, including an indoor lap pool, children’s pool, a wellness spa and state-of-the-art meeting rooms. Beyond the property itself, residents will enjoy the added privilege of accessing amenities provided by neighbouring properties Vela and The Lana Hotel, as well as the Beach Club at One at Palm Jumeirah by Omniyat.

Once complete, the new property will contribute significantly to the elevation of the Marasi Bay area into a unique ultra-luxury enclave along with its sister property, Vela, Dorchester Collection, Dubai – launched in June 2023 – as well as The Lana Residences. 

Vela Viento will be crowned by two four-bedroom penthouses as well as three signature duplex apartments.

The Lana’s 39 ultra-exclusive homes – which also feature the timeless designs of Gilles et Boissier as does the Vela, Dorchester Collection, Dubai – presents its residents with a spectrum of leisure and luxury living. Within each living space, floor-to-ceiling windows provide maximising views of the Burj Khalifa District and the wider cityscape of Dubai. Crafted with attention to detail, the interiors are embellished with luxurious finishing, oak flooring and state-of-the-art furniture and appliances.

The Lana Residences’ dedicated amenities include a spacious outdoor swimming pool, private gym, including reformer pilates and yoga studio, among other world-class facilities.

Omniyat also started construction work late last year on Vela, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, which will rise to 150-m tall, with over 270,000 sq ft spread across 30 floors, housing 38 curated and fully-furnished residences. Reflecting its waterfront location, the structure will feature Omniyat’s signature curves, wraparound terrace pools, and glass façades for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Vela promises a lifestyle of leisure and refinement throughout, offering an infinity-edge lap pool, triple-height gym, spa suite and salon, cinema room, valet, and more tailored services dedicated to residents.

Handover is currently projected for Q4 2026.
