Arka Enclave Residences

Arka Enclave Residences is the first UAE project from Atmosphere Living, the residential arm of Maldives hospitality group Atmosphere Core. The brand built its name on small resorts where service, not floor area, is the product, and Manodev has kept that logic here: one park-front building on Dubai Islands rather than a multi-tower phase, with sales run by Devmark and handover due in 2027.

148 residences, twelve floors

The building holds 148 freehold homes over twelve residential levels, with a podium beneath and amenity decks on the roof. Layouts start at one-bedroom apartments of around 770 sq ft and run up to three-bedroom units of more than 2,200 sq ft, with penthouses at the top. Znera Space handled the architecture and Arkiplan the interiors, both working to deep terraces and long sightlines rather than maximum unit count. That restraint has a practical effect for owners: service ratios stay high, and resale stock stays thin, because a 148-unit building can only ever return so many apartments to the market.

Hotel services attached to a title deed

The amenity list reads closer to a resort than a residential podium:

• rooftop pool, lounge and yoga studio
• lagoon pool and barbecue deck at podium level
• Technogym fitness studio, spa and massage suites
• padel court, golf simulator, jogging track and a multi-purpose sports area
• outdoor cinema, clubhouse and children’s play areas

Day to day, the Atmosphere Living side shows up in the services rather than the hardware: concierge, valet and chauffeur access, in-residence chefs and private dining, spa bookings handled on request. For an owner who lets the unit, that package is what separates a branded residence from a well-finished apartment in the same postcode.

Buying into Dubai Islands before it finishes

Dubai Islands is Nakheel’s five-island masterplan off the Deira coast, with more than 20 km of beachfront and its own marinas, and the Infinity Bridge and its eight-lane road put it about twenty minutes from Dubai International Airport. Arka Enclave sits park-front, within walking distance of the Dubai Islands Mall now under construction. The district is still filling in, and that is the argument for entering now: pricing here still reflects an unfinished neighbourhood, while the beaches, hotels and retail that will define it are funded and building out.

Payment follows the island’s usual off-plan structure, with roughly 40% spread across booking and construction and the balance falling due at handover, so most of the capital stays with the buyer until keys.
