Omniyat Is Set To Transform Marasi Bay Into The Ultimate Waterfront Destination In Dubai
Set in the heart of the Burj Khalifa District, Marasi Bay Island is poised for a luxurious transformation, following its acquisition by leading luxury developer Omniyat Nestled in the Burj Khalifa District, Marasi Bay Island is about to get a whole lot more luxe – thanks to an acquisition by Omniyat, a leading developer of Dubai's premium real estate market. The developer intends to transform the area into a hub of luxury lifestyle and wellness – a waterfront destination that marries high-end homes, chic workspaces, and five-star hospitality, with an exclusive beach club; the first in Burj Khalifa District. The project will seamlessly blend into the waterfront with private parks, Marina Yacht club, and a floating pavilion. With its easy access to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, DIFC, D3 Design District, and Dubai International Airport, Marasi Bay is destined to attract the ultra-high-net-worth, and amenities will be tailored to suit this clientele. The Yacht Club, ender boat service, and the jetty lounges for boat owners and The Lana Hotel guests will ensure that those who love waterside living are expertly catered to, while the pavilion, a large retail space set over the water, will provide plenty of shopping opportunities. Resident-only facilities will include a padel court, children's play area, running track and an art trail. Own a superyacht? No problem. Marasi Bay Marina has berths for those too. 'In a re-imagined approach to urban living, we are reshaping Marasi Bay into Dubai's definitive ultra-luxury waterfront destination. Marasi Bay Island is another jewel in its crown, complementing this luxurious ecosystem with exceptional waterfront experiences,' says Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman of Omniyat. 'Alongside the island, the newly unveiled amenities on the south side of the bay, further enrich the lifestyle offering for Omniyat residents and guests.' For those who want inner-city access, but don't want to feel disconnected from nature, Sunset Park, a 30,000-sq ft private floating island will offer the ultimate retreat – from picnic lawns, private dining spaces with a chef's kitchen and BBQ, along with sensory and meditation gardens, to a yoga terrace, a dedicated dog park, and event lawns, greenery will thrive at the heart of this community. Part of a refined residential portfolio, VELA Viento, Dorchester Collection, Dubai is a striking addition to Marasi Bay's masterplan. Designed by the acclaimed Foster + Partners, the 180-metre tower features 95 residences with sweeping views of the Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and the waterfront. Floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive terraces create seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces, while select homes include private pools, and suspended dining rooms, meticulously furnished by interior designer Gilles & Boissier. The tower will also feature a Sky Amenities Deck with infinity pool, spacious gym, and yoga studio, with access to The Lana Hotel and Marasi Bay just a stroll away.

Zegna's first show outside Italy is a love letter to Dubai
Zegna, the Italian master of quiet luxury, just staged its first fashion show outside Italy. On Wednesday, it transformed Dubai Opera into an oasis of fashion, with nods to both Italy and the UAE. Guests were greeted by birdsong recorded in Oasi Zegna, the land planted as a forest by the founder, as they took in the set of sand dunes, native ghaf and palm trees, and a sand-strewn floor. Across 54 looks, the spring/summer 2026 show delivered a masterclass in the impeccable, laid-back dressing Zegna is known for, formed from elegant cuts and astonishing materials. About 600 guests, many of whom were flown in for the event, witnessed the unfolding of a typically discreet palette that shifted from cream and bone, through olive and fern green to autumnal dark red and mulberry, played out across quietly remarkable pieces. The art of understatement As with everything Zegna does, this was about layered nuance. Unlined jackets were casually worn over collared shirts of perforated suede, laser-cut in dogtooth patterning; tabard tops were spun from linen and paper; and cotton ticking became summery suit jackets and matching shorts. Crumpled linen was cut into boxy jackets, and woven into airy polo tops, while loose shirt jackets and even scarves arrived in Zegna's new 'washable leather'. In a nod to the host city, 25 of these runway looks were made especially for the Dubai show. The subtle brilliance of Zegna is best seen up close, when the true beauty of its pieces becomes apparent. Knitted suede tops, roomy crocheted tops that hang just-so, jacquard jackets that resemble tweed, and actual tweed spun into a light summer coat – this is a house that has mastered the art of understatement. The show featured a diverse cast of models – from teenage to septuagenarians – some barefoot, all restrained and elegant. Although predominantly featuring male models, there were a few women on the runway, clad in the same menswear as a sign of its wearability. As owners of its own factories (to oversee a process it calls 'sheep to shop'), Zegna can push boundaries of what is materially possible. As creative director Alessandro Sartori explained ahead of the show: 'Through this experimentation, we are finding a lot of new ideas.' In turn, these become new propositions for today's client. 'There is a huge space between classic and avant-garde menswear that we can explore,' Sartori said. The looks paraded in the opera house suggests this is not a middle ground, but instead a new frontier; making daily uniforms for the ultra-refined, using hyper-modern materials and devoid of logos, for a if-you-know-you-know cache. Stepping into Villa Zegna Zegna's polished ethos extends well beyond the runway, too. Part of the opera house has been converted into Villa Zegna, a private invitation-only club open for five days. Named after the original family house in Northern Italy, Villa Zegna allows clients to sample the new limited-edition Il Conte fragrance (created as a run of just 300 and housed in Murano glass bottles), and gain exclusive access to the Dubai capsule collection. Separate from the fashion show pieces, these additional 70 or so items cater to the lives of the ultra-rich – think croc skin jackets tumbled to the suppleness of suede, and hoodies in creamy cashmere. In a moment of Narnia-like charm, this arena can only be reached by passing through a rail of suits, which represents the wardrobe of founder Ermenegildo Zegna. Elsewhere, to ensure its guests glean the most from their visit, Zegna enlisted Dubai Tourism to guide them around the city Zegna describes as being a 'celebration of vision'. Such is the level of precision at Zegna, that every detail – from triple-stitched moccasins to leather-covered buttons – is catered to. Accordingly, choosing Dubai for its first venture beyond its homeland does not feel coincidental. Carefully considered, the city has been selected for the values it shares with the storied Italian house. As one reaches for the sky, the other deals in the height of quality and sophistication. Both are fascinated by the intersection of the innovative and the remarkable. And if this evening were anything to go by, it is a quest without end.
