Ciel Dubai Marin

Just when you think Dubai has exhausted its aces, they pull out an ace. The city that seems to have a love affair with superlatives is about to unveil another giant that will make you rethink your definition of "incredible view."

Starting in November, Ciel Dubai Marina takes center stage. At an impressive 374 meters tall and 82 stories high, it will not only open but will also claim the trophy for the world's tallest hotel. It's the kind of bold move we admire

A dive close to the clouds

Now, hold your breath: on the 76th floor, they just built the highest infinity pool on the planet. Picture the scene: you, relaxing in the water, with a breathtaking view of the Persian Gulf and the iconic Palm Jumeirah. It's one of those experiences that makes it onto your "must do in life" list. And that's just one of the complex's four pools.

The building's design, by NORR Group, is a spectacle in itself. Its needle-like shape isn't just meant to impress; it was optimized with wind tunnel analysis to ensure stability and efficiency. It's the perfect combination of aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering.

A universe of options up there

Inside, Ciel doesn't disappoint. With over 1,000 rooms and suites, all with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, spectacular views are guaranteed.

But a hotel of this size requires more than just a good night's sleep. And the services offered are top-notch:

Flavors of the World: There will be eight restaurants to explore. Highlights include three from the British group Tattu, including a pool bar and a Sky Lounge on the 81st floor with a 360-degree terrace that promises to be Dubai's new hotspot.

Wellness with a view: To keep your body and mind in tune, a fully equipped spa and gym are available 24 hours a day on the 61st floor.

Beach alternative: If you want to trade the heights for the sand, the hotel offers free access and transportation to the Soluna Beach Club, an exclusive space with a pool and private beach.

It is worth it?

Dubai continues to establish itself as a destination unafraid to invest in grand experiences. Ciel Dubai Marina is living proof of this. It's not just about luxury, but about the audacity of building something that defies convention and offers a whole new perspective.

And the cost of this experience? Daily rates start at 1,036 dirhams, which is approximately US$280 (about R$1,500).

So, if you're looking for a trip that combines innovation, comfort, and views that will make for the best stories, maybe it's time to put Dubai back on your radar. After all, why settle for the ordinary when you can be on top of the world?
