Royal Bay by Azizi on Palm Jumeirah
This brief is for owners of units in Royal Bay, for buyers looking at resale units in the building, and for anyone comparing it with other completed buildings on Palm Jumeirah. Royal Bay is a completed serviced apartment building by Azizi Developments on the eastern crescent of the island. The project first went by the name Azizi Breeze before it was renamed Royal Bay.
The Dubai Land Department register describes the project as serviced hotel apartments built in concrete over a basement, a ground floor and nine upper floors, which makes ten storeys above the basement. Naga Architects served as architectural consultant.
The building and its units
Royal Bay is a mid-rise building. Its layouts are serviced apartments of one or two bedrooms, plus two penthouses that take up the top floor. Apartment sizes run from 74.5 sq m to 152.2 sq m. Each of the two penthouses has its own pool and Jacuzzi.
The building is set at a 45-degree angle on its plot, an orientation chosen to turn its living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms towards the sea. From the crescent's inner side, the city skyline lies east and Atlantis west.
Interiors follow a minimalist scheme with contemporary lighting. Every apartment comes fitted with a cooker, an oven, a dishwasher, a fridge-freezer and a washing machine, and the bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms.
Facilities and services
Owners and residents share a private beach and landscaped gardens reserved for the building. The facilities are:
- an infinity-edge swimming pool
- a children's pool and play area
- a gymnasium
- parking for residents and visitors, plus valet parking
- a 24-hour concierge
- room service and housekeeping
- a butler service
The register classifies the building as hotel apartments, so a buyer comparing it with an ordinary apartment block on the Palm should check how the serviced arrangement works in practice.
Palm Jumeirah
Palm Jumeirah is a reclaimed island built in the outline of a palm tree. A central trunk carries apartment buildings, hotels, shops and marinas, the fronds are lined with beachfront villas, and an outer crescent breakwater wraps around the whole island. Royal Bay is on that crescent, on its eastern arm.
A monorail runs along the trunk, which is also where Al Ittihad Park and Golden Mile Galleria sit.
Nakheel, the island's master developer, completed beach enhancement works by late 2023. They reinforced 55 kilometres of beachfront and added fresh sand totalling 1.5 million cu m to counter erosion around the fronds.
