A Unique Architectural Marvel
One Za’abeel, a development by acclaimed architect Nikken Sekkei, features dual skyscrapers connected by The Link, the world’s longest cantilever. The interiors, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, draw inspiration from the local Emirati dialect meaning ‘white sand’. This vertical resort offers expansive rooms, suites, and the Villa One penthouse, which are among the largest in Dubai.

This floating boulevard will feature culinary concepts from Michelin-lauded chefs including Anne-Sophie Pic, Bo Songvisava and Dylan Jones, Mehmet Gürs, Paco Morales and Tetsuya Wakuda. It’s also home to an all-day dining restaurant, immersive experiences, and scintillating nightlife venue Sphere. Atop The Link is One&Only’s homegrown beach club concept Tapasake, where guests can enjoy the UAE’s longest infinity pool, plush cabanas, cocktails, and contemporary Japanese-Peruvian cuisine, backdropped by uninterrupted views of the Dubai skyline.
On level four, The Garden brings the relaxed al fresco lifestyle of a beach resort to an urban vertical setting, with lush tropical greenery, a lagoon-style family swimming pool and a swim-up bar. The Garden level features StreetXO by Dabiz Muñoz and an elevated Indonesian concept, Andaliman.
