Cavalli Tower: Design and layout

The design of the Cavalli-branded tower was the brainchild of award-winning architect Shaun Killa, who has also designed the Museum of the Future in Dubai.

Cavalli Tower — which has a development value of approximately Dhs2 billion — consists of 436 units divided into three sections. The first section is categorised as ‘luxury’, the middle section features ‘upper luxury’ units while the top floors’ units offer ‘super luxury’ features and finishes.

The tower’s luxury and upper luxury sections will have access to a private sky pool and sky gardens, while the super luxury category features an infinity pool, a cigar lounge and a private pavilion where residents can host their private gatherings.

All units from a two-bedroom apartment or a five-bedroom duplex will feature high ceilings and sea vistas from the unit’s balcony.

The Cavalli Tower includes a four-storey-high lobby, a Malibu Bay-inspired beach pool in the gardens, and bespoke services such as 24-hour butler service, a la carte housekeeping service and other offerings.
