Designed by Foster + Partners, this development is located close to the Burj Khalifa district in the Business Bay area on Marasi Bay. Towering at 180 metres tall, with 41 floors, a ground level, and three podium levels, it offers an exclusive selection of 95 residences, each with panoramic views. The building features horizontal lines and smooth curves in a fascinating rhythm. The voids within connect the interior and exterior realms in an interplay of light, shadow, and space, and allow for a unique perspective of the Downtown area. Parisian designer duo Gilles & Boissier have brought their signature style in an illustration of luxury interior design for some of the units. They really hit the sweet spot here, a combination of ultra-modern design with a vintage touch that ensures the spaces will stand the test of time.
The building is split into sections, namely, 60 Viento Residences, 3 Sky Bridge Duplexes, 31 Horizon Residences, and 1 Celestial Penthouse. Some of the residences have private terrace pools and double-height spaces. Moreover, the spaces between the buildings and on the bridges create ‘hanging’ living and dining rooms, which make the structures appear more voluminous than they actually are. The Viento Residences are located on the lowest levels, facing the water, and generally have an open-plan design. All residences offer 2-or 3-bedroom options with gigantic terraces and private pools.
The Horizon Residences, rising 100 meters into the sky, are sequestered domains by BANDA Studio and pull their creative inspiration from the surrounding riparian landscape. The 3 to 4-bedroom simplexes and duplexes boast luxuriously large terraces, some with private pools. Inspired by the building’s name - “sail” and “wind”- the design captures the essence of the desert’s windswept landscapes through fluid, sculptural forms and organic architectural elements. The material palette includes polished plaster, carved stone, and tactile metal, inspired by the natural textures and tones shaped by the wind. Speaking of the interiors - the epitome of sleek designs alongside rare, handpicked pieces. The result calls for a clean, minimal space with a sparkle of luxury.
Suspended in between are the three 4-bedroom Skybridge Duplexes, each adorned with two private pools, with the amenities keeping wellness as the pivotal focus. The ‘Sky Amenities Deck’ situated over 100m high features an infinity pool, double-height gym, yoga studio and lounge areas. The podium levels feature indoor pools, a spa and meeting rooms, as well as direct access to VELA and The Lana Hotel, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, amenities via the Marasi Bay Promenade. Besides this, residents will also have access to Sunset Park, a 30,000 sq. ft. central green space with wellness and leisure zones. Designed as a private floating island, from a pet-friendly area and picnic lawns to private dining spaces with a chef’s kitchen, the park is exclusive to VELA, VELA Viento, and The Lana residents.

The development is situated along the Marasi Bay in Business Bay. This landscaped waterfront promenade offers seamless access within a walk away from The Lana Hotel, Marasi Bay Island, the Yacht Club, and Sunset Park. The Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai area are accessible within a short radius.
