Riviera Essence. Emirates Hills. Dubai, UAE
Welcome to Riviera Essence—a villa where classical grandeur meets the romance of the French Riviera, reimagined with a sunlit, sculptural softness that sets the tone from the very first glance.
The journey begins outside, where floral vines trace the archways like brushstrokes on canvas, softening the formal architecture with their painterly charm. Patterned marble pavers guide your steps through the terraces, past custom pergolas, breezy striped loungers, and fire features that flicker into the twilight. Here, bougainvillea blooms and natural stone fountains provide a soundtrack of serenity, while upstairs, a rooftop pool frames panoramic views of sea and skyline—a seamless extension of the refined interiors below.
Step inside, and the romance deepens.
On the ground floor, expansive social spaces blend elegance with ease, setting the stage for both quiet moments and grand gatherings. But it’s on the upper level where the home reveals its most intimate expression: the master suite.
Here, a soaring coffered ceiling and crystal chandelier frame the king bed like a scene from a dream. A palette of warm neutrals, golden accents, and hand-painted floral panels brings softness and grace, creating a sanctuary that cocoons from morning to night.
The en-suite bathroom evokes a private spa—wrapped in book-matched marble, with dual vanities, brass fixtures, and a sunken bathtub beneath arched windows. Light filters through sheer drapery, illuminating a space designed for calm, clarity, and elevated comfort.
Adjoining the suite is not just a walk-in wardrobe, but a full dressing suite: golden-framed glass doors, custom shelving, and a sculptural marble island transform daily rituals into moments of beauty and ceremony.
Ascend to the rooftop, and the villa exhales into pure indulgence. A serene plunge pool glows beneath a statement chandelier, flanked by classical sculptures and moody walnut paneling. This is more than wellness—it’s a sacred retreat. A private gym, sauna, and massage suite sit within arched alcoves, surrounded by curated lighting and custom finishes that quiet the world beyond.
Step through once more and the atmosphere shifts—into a garden lounge where architecture dissolves into nature. Cushioned corners nestle under cascading bougainvillea, firelight dances across water features, and marble paths invite you to wander, breathe, and simply be.
Below ground, the energy pulses with unapologetic joy. The basement is a bold celebration of colour and character—fuchsia armchairs, hand-tufted rugs, and golden tulip tables bring life to the games lounge and champagne bar. It’s playful. It’s punchy. It’s pleasure in its most expressive form.
Even the garage tells a story. This isn’t storage—it’s a marble-clad gallery for automotive icons. Vaulted ceilings, sculpted columns, and dramatic lighting transform the space into a neoclassical showcase, where every car is treated as art.
Riviera Essence is more than a villa—it’s a living daydream. A celebration of season, light, and spirit. From the soft lines of the terrace to the electric joy of the basement, every space is designed to move you. To welcome you.
