Unique Contemporary Resort in Duba

Bvlgari Resort Dubai draws inspiration from its ocean setting to create a sparkling oasis of nautical-inspired luxury. Conceived of and executed by the Italian architecture firm ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, it captures a particularly Italian sensibility, melding Mediterranean charm with Middle Eastern embellishment.

The 1.4-million-square-foot Resort exists in harmony with its stunning location on Jumeira Bay, so that every facet is designed to complement the sea views, sunshine and shimmering skyline that lies just beyond the bay. The standout motif is a coral-like sunshade that wraps around the façade of the building. Other distinctive maritime touches abound, like the oak wood planks that recall the deck of a ship.

Like a jewel, the façade is transparent in parts, so that it seems to rise up out of the ocean, all of a piece with its magical marine setting. To leverage the gorgeous natural light, the colour palette is light and airy, with signature Bvlgari marble and soaring windows gracing rooms, suites and public areas.

Black granite and travertine appear throughout the Resort, a distinctively Italian design choice that is carried through by contemporary furniture from Italy’s best-known designers
