Dubai’s elite lifestyle has made the city a dynamic, global superstar where people come to work, rest and play. Now with the launch of Sea Mirror, a boutique development of inspirationally-designed villas on Jumeira Bay Island, there’s the additional opportunity for a front row seat to all Dubai’s delights from a secure and private oasis, a true best of both worlds location.

Jumeira Bay Island is a gated, low-level private island set to become Dubai’s most desirable setting, an exclusive sanctuary in the heart of Jumeirah. Residents are just minutes from the high voltage Dubai lifestyle yet totally apart from the city bustle.

The villas at Sea Mirror, just six in the first phase, are designed and styled by leading international architectural practices working in Dubai for the first time. This combination of outstanding location and unique architecture brings a new super prime level of quality to the city. Residents have sweeping views over the Arabian Gulf and the sparkling Dubai skyline and access to Dubai’s only offshore private deck and dock along with their own 22 metres of private waterfront.

From Sea Mirror, it’s a short stroll to the five-star Bvlgari Hotel and Resort, where facilities include a 46-berth Marina and Yacht Club, Italian restaurant and member’s club and pool. This is the hotel brand’s first yacht club worldwide and introduces a delightful Mediterranean ambiance to Jumeira Bay Island. Owners at Sea Mirror have direct access with complimentary membership to the entire Bvlgari resort.

Travel off the island on to Jumeirah Beach Road and it’s fifteen minutes to Dubai’s magnificent international airport, ten minutes to the high-octane energy of Downtown and under three kilometres to both Jumeirah’s Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental Hotels.

“In Jumeirah you have the sea and beach with so many activities, fine dining, casual family-focused restaurants and chic hotels, a relaxed low-density resort atmosphere,” says a representative of Lamar, the developers of Sea Mirror. “Living in Jumeirah allows you to feel part of a small, select beach town while at the same time being just ten minutes from the drama of Dubai.

Dubai is an acknowledged world-leading business hub and financial centre with an innovative and forward-looking approach, somewhere with an established international workforce and over 200 private schools. But it also offers an unparalleled level of cultural, sporting and culinary opportunities. Tour the spice souk, soar to the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building or down the plumes of the world’s largest waterpark, ride an abra, a traditional wooden boat, across Dubai Creek or tour Legoland. Along with theatre, music and international sporting events, Dubai is a city that offers endless entertainment.

 “I have lived around the world from New York to London but what is unique in Dubai are both the service levels and the ease of getting things done, setting up businesses or bank accounts for example,” says a representative of Lamar. “And the level of activities and sports on offer is unparalleled. Sailing, kite surfing, fishing and all water-based activities, hiking in Hatta and cycling in Al Qudra. My family love the equestrian life and Dubai has everything from polo to show jumping.”

Sea Mirror is also perfectly placed for Dubai’s superb and ever-expanding food scene. Whether you want an evening partying at the international headliners – Zuma, Coya, Amazonico – or among globally celebrated chefs – Joel Robuchon, Daniel Boulud, Gordon Ramsay - Dubai has it covered.

For all the star names and glitz and glamour, what makes Dubai truly exceptional for most residents is its security. This is a safe city, somewhere residents can live in confidence year-round and it’s a quality of life set to improve further. The Dubai 2040 Urban Masterplan launched this year focuses on enhancing residents’ health and wellbeing with sustainable development over the next twenty years.

By adding to the already impressive educational opportunities, increasing nature reserves and public green spaces and enlarging the beaches, Dubai will further improve the lifestyle of its residents. Yet more to enjoy for the fortunate residents at Sea Mirror.
