Orla by Omniyat: Ultra-Luxury Residences on Palm Jumeirah's Crescent
Omniyat Group's Orla sits on The Crescent, the outer arc of Palm Jumeirah. The project offers two-bedroom to four-bedroom apartments alongside four-bedroom duplexes, priced from AED 24.1 million to AED 52.2 million. Construction began in February 2023 and expected completion is December 2026.
Living on The Crescent
The Crescent occupies the outermost ring of Palm Jumeirah, beyond the trunk and the fronds. It faces open sea on both sides, which means panoramic water views and lower traffic density than the busier parts of the island. Dubai Marina is around 15 to 20 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai and the DIFC are roughly 30 minutes. This is an address for buyers who prioritize views and seclusion over city-centre proximity. The on-site restaurant offering reduces some of the friction that comes with the distance from urban amenities.
What AED 24 Million to AED 52 Million Actually Covers
The spread between entry and ceiling is more than AED 28 million, and bedroom count explains most of it.
Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 24.1 million, across layouts ranging from 3,344 to 4,163 square feet. At that size, calling these two-bedrooms understates what buyers are getting. These are large residences by any standard.
Three-bedroom apartments begin at AED 32.8 million, with layouts from 3,479 to 4,478 square feet.
Four-bedroom apartments open at AED 52.2 million, and the size range here is wide: from 6,319 to 10,527 square feet depending on the unit. The four-bedroom duplexes run from 7,416 to 11,145 square feet.
The low end attracts buyers who want a Crescent address with a relatively contained unit. The top end is for buyers who want full-floor or multi-level scale.
Two-Bedrooms to Four-Bedroom Duplexes
Every unit in this building has at least two bedrooms, and none falls below 3,344 square feet. The two-bedrooms suit buyers entering the Crescent market without committing to the larger footprint of the three- or four-bedroom tiers. Three-bedrooms work for families who need extra space but prefer not to cross the AED 50 million threshold. Four-bedroom apartments and duplexes address buyers who want residential scale at a level that the wider market rarely offers.
Private Amenities, Not Just Shared Ones
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Private (per unit) | Private Pool, Private Gym, Private Jacuzzi, Private Garden |
| Shared Wellness | Shared Pool, Shared Spa, Shared Gym, Children's Pool |
| Lifestyle and Dining | Leisure Lounge, Restaurants, Barbecue Area |
| Services | Concierge, Maid Service, Security |
| Interiors | Maids Room, Kitchen Appliances, Built-in Wardrobes, Walk-in Closet, Study, Central A/C |
| Views and Outdoor | Balcony, View of Water, View of Landmark, Covered Parking |
| Family | Children's Play Area, Pets Allowed |
The standout here is the private tier: private pool, private gym, and private jacuzzi at the unit level. Most developments offer these facilities in shared form. At Orla, they sit within the residence itself. Pair that with concierge, maid service, and on-site restaurants, and the model resembles a serviced hotel residence rather than a standard apartment building. The amenity set is consistent with a buyer who expects full-time service infrastructure, not just a gym and a pool.
Completion in December 2026
Expected handover is December 2026, approximately seven months from now. Buyers entering today are not taking on a multi-year off-plan hold. Construction has been running since February 2023. For an investor, the short remaining timeline limits how long rental income is deferred. For an end-user, the gap between signing and occupation is measured in months.
Getting In for 5%
| Phase | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 5% |
| During Construction | 45% |
| Handover | 50% |
A 5% down payment at this price tier is low. On the AED 24.1 million entry unit, the initial commitment is approximately AED 1.2 million. At AED 52.2 million, it is around AED 2.6 million. The structure back-loads the bulk of the payment: 45% across the construction phase and 50% at handover. With completion seven months away, the construction installments and the handover payment both fall within a tight window. Buyers entering now should be positioned for the full capital requirement within the year.
