Canal-side energy, walking distance to the Burj
Business Bay is Downtown's energetic neighbour: towers along the Dubai Canal, a boardwalk that lights up at night, and the Burj Khalifa close enough to navigate by. Everything the first-time visitor comes to Dubai for is minutes away.
We run canal-view studios at DAMAC Maison Privé and a Burj-view one-bedroom at SOL Bay — compact, sharp and central, with smart locks and all bills included.

Good to know
Questions guests ask
Can I walk to the Dubai Mall from Business Bay?
It is possible along the canal and through Downtown — roughly half an hour on foot — but most guests take a five-to-eight-minute car ride, especially in summer.
How many people do the studios sleep?
Our Maison Privé studios comfortably sleep two. For three or more, look at our one-bedroom homes or the three-bedroom apartments in Za'abeel, ten minutes away.
Is Business Bay noisy at night?
It is a lively district, but our homes are in residential towers set back from the main strips, on quieter floors. You get the buzz when you want it, not through the window.
Do the homes have canal views?
Both Maison Privé studios face the canal, and the SOL Bay one-bedroom frames the Burj Khalifa itself — the photos on each listing are of the actual unit.
