Beachfront residences by Zaha Hadid Architects, managed by Dorchester Collection.
The Alba is a mixed-use scheme by OMNIYAT, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and managed by Dorchester Collection, with landscaping by Vladimir Djurovic.
It includes Dorchester Collection's first sea-front garden retreat hotel, alongside the residences.
A small collection with a named architect and hotel management is positioned on scarcity. What decides the investment case is the specific residence: aspect and light, the terrace and private pool, the ceiling height, and how the service charge and hotel-managed model affect both holding costs and the resale audience.

Zaha Hadid Architects' curved, undulating form rises from landscaped grounds, with shaded walkways leading down to the beach. Ceiling heights exceed three metres and every residence has a terrace with its own plunge pool.
The Alba Residences offers unfurnished simplex and duplex homes with private pools. It is a separate collection from the fully furnished Alba Resort Residences. We confirm the bedroom count, interior specification and available layout for each shortlist.
Terraces carry private plunge pools, elevated sun lounging, balconies to the master wing and, on selected units, outdoor jacuzzis.
Resident-only facilities alongside access to the hotel's landscaped areas.
Four parties shape The Alba. Each affects a different part of ownership.
Developer
Dubai developer of ultra-prime projects, working with Dorchester Collection across several Palm Jumeirah addresses.
Architecture
Zaha Hadid Architects
One of the most recognised practices of the past four decades; here responsible for the curved, elemental form.
Landscape
Vladimir Djurovic
Landscape architect for the tropical grounds, shaded walkways and the route down to the beach.
Service
Dorchester Collection
Operator of the residence services and the adjoining garden retreat hotel.
Aspect and daylight through the day, the usable width of the terrace and its pool, ceiling height against the published figure, the interior package on offer, and the full running cost of a hotel-managed residence.
We then test the exit: who buys the selected residence at this level, and how a resale competes with the remaining developer inventory.
Pricing, availability, areas, layouts and timing are indicative and subject to confirmation by the developer for the selected residence. Registering interest does not secure an allocation.
