Luxury meets nature at The Alba, Dubai’s new ultra-luxury destination
OMNIYAT officially launched The Alba at Monaco Yacht Club, its latest architectural marvel, during the Monaco Yacht Show on September 26th. This $1.9 billion project marks a new milestone for OMNIYAT, creating a mixed-use, ultra-luxury development on Dubai’s stunning coastline.
A highlight of the event was the signing ceremony between OMNIYAT’s Founder & Executive Chairman, Mahdi Amjad, and Christopher Cowdray, President of Dorchester Collection, at the Yacht Club de Monaco. This agreement solidifies Dorchester Collection’s involvement in managing The Alba, continuing a successful partnership with OMNIYAT in luxury hospitality and residences.

It offers a harmonious blend of nature and cutting-edge design, offering a personalized waterfront experience with OMNIYAT’s signature focus on crafting privacy-centric residences.”
Christopher Cowdray added, “The Alba will offer residents both privacy and serenity in an exclusive enclave, with panoramic views across the sea and Dubai’s famous landmarks. We are excited to provide a sanctuary where nature and wellness converge, creating a sophisticated oasis for reawakening, reconnection, and renewal.”
