A veritable oasis in the clouds, AURA SKYPOOL greets guests with a marvel of modern luxury and relaxation in the very heart of Dubai’s iconic skyline. Perched an astonishing 210 meters above sea level, AURA offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool, with uninterrupted vistas that capture the Dubai skyline, the tranquil Palm Jumeirah, and the shimmering Arabian Gulf horizon.
“The “wow” factor of AURA SKYPOOL as a must-visit destination is simply breath-taking … It’s a sensory overload, captivating all your senses as you step into a world of luxury and wonder,” Dean Jarvis, General Manager at AURA SKYPOOL, told Arabian Business Traveller. The destination has been set up as “more than just a pool,” Jarvis argued, noting that it serves as “an immersive sensory journey that leaves a lasting impression on travellers.”
“AURA’s infinity pool is a seamless oasis, surrounded by lush greenery and natural design elements, providing an uninterrupted, immersive experience. The deck, with its custom-made daybeds and sofas, offers an elegant and socially vibrant atmosphere where you can unwind while taking in unobstructed panoramic views of Dubai’s iconic landmarks, including the Palm Jumeirah, the Burj Al Arab, the Marina, and more,” he added.
In addition, AURA has also sought to blend outdoor space with its own indoor lounge. The use of warm natural materials, modern geometric accents, and lush greenery help set the stage for a relaxing – but ultimately luxurious and stunning – break from the hustle of the city below.
Despite the fact that AURA is a relatively new location in Dubai, having opened in only November 2021, the destination’s unique location has already resulted in some remarkable stories.
“AURA has been the backdrop for numerous romantic moments, but one that stands out is a surprise marriage proposal,” Jarvis reminisced.
“A gentleman from Saudi Arabia planned a visit to AURA with his partner. Little did she know that he had orchestrated a breath-taking proposal under the stars, with the glittering Dubai skyline as a witness. The moment was magical, and the couple shared their joy with fellow guests, making it a night to remember for everyone present.” AURA has also found itself as something of a destination for morning yoga, with its popular Sunrise Flow class leaving many patrons with positive remarks.
A crowded marketplace
In a city already known for its remarkable landmarks, destinations, and experiences, conceptualising a successful idea is no easy feat. When quizzed on the difficulty of standing out from this crowded marketplace, Jarvis remarked that AURA used a variety of key strategies.
Firstly, the location’s stunning view of Dubai’s memorable skyline gives AURA an unparalleled and provides an awe-inspiring backdrop for every visitor’s experience. In addition, the venue has looked to seamlessly “blend the elements of air, water, and wind, creating an environment that feels like a natural extension of the sky,” Jarvis said.
No destination today would be complete without a commitment to culinary excellence, and here AURA also shines, with a menu inspired by iconic Asia cities curated by Executive Chef Craig Best. As previously mentioned, the location also serves as a wellness and relaxation retreat, while offering flexible experiences, and a commitment to sustainability.
“AURA is committed to environmental responsibility, evident through the implementation of cutting-edge ORCA technology for sustainable waste management and on-site herb gardening to reduce carbon footprint. This commitment adds depth to the AURA experience, aligning luxury with eco-consciousness,” Jarvis explained.
Finally, and ultimately the most memorable, is the location’s unique sunset and evening experience. Truly, this is one location that has be experienced to be believed. Guests will be treated to a magical atmosphere as they watch the sun slowly dip below the horizon, an experience which Jarvis himself describes as “nothing short of enchanting.”
While a memorable experience is of paramount importance, AURA also leaves space for indulgence, offering a tantalising array of treats and drinks to accompany any visitor’s poolside relaxation. Whether it be signature cocktails as visually stunning as the breath-taking skyline views, the menu’s Pan-Asian delights, or a relaxing massage combined with the venue’s ample amenities and services, there’s something to be had for any traveller.
“We aspire for every traveller leaving AURA SKYPOOL to carry with them the memory of an unparalleled experience – one where they soared high above the city, enveloped in luxury, and soaked in breath-taking views,” Jarvis concluded.
