Sea Mirror, located on the Jumeira Bay Island, offers an unparalleled living experience with its 18 unique private homes. The villas are designed by internationally acclaimed architects Jacobsen Arquitetura and Studio MK27, Brazilian design firms celebrated for their numerous national and international design awards while the interiors are designed by Patricia Urquiola, a Milan-based designer whose work is featured in leading global museums. The properties offer expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, complemented by world-class amenities from the neighbouring Bulgari Resort, Marina, and Yacht Club.

Antonio Caviglia, the agent responsible for the sale, said: “Understanding our client’s specific needs was key to securing this landmark sale. They were initially interested in an apartment, so we showed them three properties before we identified and recommended the Sea Mirror villa as a perfect fit, as it offered the space, functionality and prestigious location they desired. The unmatched design and amenities at Sea Mirror truly elevated the property for them and it was a unique opportunity for them to acquire a one-of-a-kind Dubai residence.”
