A Dubai ‘sky palace’ debuts developer Omniyat’s new Bespoke category
Omniyat Bespoke, the developer’s new ultra-luxury arm, launches with the Luna Sky Palace penthouse at Orla, Dorchester Collection
In partnership with Omniyat
Developer Omniyat’s new Luna Sky Palace in Dubai marks the launch of its ultra-luxury category, Omniyat Bespoke. The residential property at the Foster + Partners-designed Orla, Dorchester Collection in Palm Jumeirah taps into the desire for rarity, uniqueness and new standards of craftsmanship, promising to raise the bar for ‘one-of-one’ living up into the Emirati stratosphere.
A 58,476 sq ft premium luxury contemporary palazzo, the three-level, indoor/outdoor living property is crowned by a spectacular 13,500 sq-ft ‘sky garden’, a 36m infinity pool and 270-degree views of both sunsets and sunrises; the iconic Dubai skyline is visible through double-height, floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, and the blue-green Gulf on the other.
Luna Sky Palace’s rarified tone is set at its ground floor experience: two private reception lobbies, designed to the owner’s specifications, a private lift and a showroom-standard garage for up to ten vehicles.
‘With Orla, we are on a mission to bring together place, purpose, design, innovation and service to transform expectations, so every element of lifestyle and design is meticulously considered,’ says Mahdi Amjad, founder and executive chairman at Omniyat.
Tailored for an owner who values both privacy and luxury, Luna Sky Palace boasts highly personalised features, delivered as part of the new Omniyat Bespoke service. These include a private office for staff and personal assistants, as well as a private wellness spa, complete with a fitness suite, a salon, treatment rooms, steam and sauna spaces and multiple relaxation areas, designed by Miami-based interiors studio Yodezeen.
A niche segment in the ultra-luxury market, the ‘bespoke’ category is, believes Mahdi Amjad, ‘poised to redefine luxury living on a global scale’. Existing Omniyat properties had already fostered an ethos of extraordinary refinement and bespoke design, culminating in the Sky Palace at Ava, completed in 2023, the most expensive Palm Jumeirah property ever sold ($60 million).
Such landmark properties and the company’s perception of a shift in the conception of ultra-luxury real estate led to the formal launch of the Omniyat Bespoke category, providing a commitment to the elevated and the unconventional. The brand’s rare, one-of-one residential creations are shaped by some of the world’s finest talents in design, construction and craftsmanship.
‘Omniyat Bespoke allows owners to define their own criteria and unique aspirations in every facet of their homes,’ says Mahdi Amjad. ‘[It’s] a true expression of luxury.’

Architects Directory alumni: Residence 22 by Dxb.labThe Wallpaper* Architects Directory has turned 20. Conceived in 2000 as our index of emerging architectural talent, this annual listing of promising practices, has, over the years, spanned styles and continents; yet always championing the best and most exciting young studios and showcasing inspiring work with an emphasis on the residential realm. To mark the occasion, this summer, we are looking back at some of our over-500 alumni, to catch up about life and work since their participation and exclusively launch some of their latest completions. Dubai based Dxb.lab was first featured in Wallpaper* in the 2007 Architects Directory. Since then, the studio and its director, Khalid Al Najjar, have been going from strength to strength, completing a variety of projects of all scales and typologies; here we visit their latest housing scheme, Residence 22, in the city's Business Bay.
