Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina

Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina is a single 122-storey tower by Select Group in Dubai Marina, carrying the Six Senses hotel brand. The developer gives 251 residences in total: two- to four-bedroom residences of 1,977 to 5,773 sq ft, four-bedroom half-floor penthouses, and four- and five-bedroom duplex and triplex Sky Mansions of 8,997 to 14,102 sq ft at the top of the tower. The architect is Woods Bagot and the interiors are by Mitchell & Eades. Select Group says construction is under way and handover is scheduled for 2029.

What sets the building apart is the amount of shared space given to wellness. Four amenity levels total 61,250 sq ft. Level 4 is social, with a residents' lounge, library, cinema and wine lounge. Level 5 holds a hydrotherapy circuit, saunas, a salt room, ice baths and an infinity pool. Level 6 is a longevity floor with a clinic, treatment rooms and fitness studios, and the developer describes cryotherapy and hyperbaric rooms there as planned rather than confirmed. Level 109 has a 25-metre lap pool and a sunrise yoga deck. A residence general manager, 24-hour concierge, housekeeping and valet are part of the service model.

Prices sit at the top of the Marina market. The developer's own price list shows four-bedroom residences from AED 10,351,000, duplex Sky Mansions from AED 66,203,000 and triplex Sky Mansions from AED 125,987,400. Property Finder lists launch prices from AED 5.76 million for a two-bedroom of 2,008 sq ft and AED 8.8 million for a three-bedroom of 3,409 sq ft; those smaller homes are not on the developer's current list, so ask what remains before planning around them. Property Finder also shows four-bedroom residences from AED 8.3 million, below the developer's figure, and we use the developer's figure here.

The published plan is construction-linked: 15% on booking, three instalments totalling 25% at 35%, 45% and 50% construction completion, and 60% on handover. Property Finder shows a simpler 20/20/60 split and a Q3 2028 completion; we follow the developer, which gives 2029. Either way, most of the price falls due at handover, so a buyer needs cash or mortgage approval in place for that date. The developer estimates service charges at AED 34 to 38 per sq ft a year, which reflects the four amenity floors and the branded service and is well above a standard Marina tower.

Who it suits: buyers who want a branded, fully serviced home with sea and Palm Jumeirah outlooks and are comfortable with a long build. What to weigh: the high service charge, the size of the handover payment, and how the Six Senses operating agreement is structured and how long it runs.
