Dubai Palm Tower AURA SKYPOOL Resort Hotel Design Appreciation

AURA SKYPOOL Hotel is located on the 49th to 50th floors of the Palm Tower in Dubai, boasting the world's highest 360° infinity pool. Stepping into it is like being on a floating dream island in the sky. Elegant eaves, lush greenery, natural elements... The hotel's design creates sensory impact and tension in space through the carving of details and texture. Overlooking the magnificent skyline of Dubai, AURA SKYPOOL is the world's highest 360° infinity pool. Its location is extremely advantageous, occupying the top of the Palm Tower in Jumeirah's man-made archipelago. The hotel's interior design draws inspiration from nature, including sculptural walls inspired by rocks, recycled wood, and diverse plants. This record-breaking project opened in November 2021, consolidating Kokaistudios' international reputation in high-end travel and vacation destinations, having previously created the legendary Bar Rouge bar in Shanghai. AURA SKYPOOL spans two levels, including luxurious changing rooms and well-lit lounges, with a design that fully mobilizes the overall sensory impact. Upon entering the space, the front hall of AURA SKYPOOL transports guests to the 50th floor, 210 meters above ground, via a dedicated elevator, establishing a unique and prestigious tone. Upon opening the door, one is greeted by an urban oasis imagined as "islands in the sky." The visual center of the space is the core cylinder, which looks like a natural boulder with distinct edges and is adorned with marble powder coating. The original core area of the space presented challenges and limitations, but the geometric decorations transformed it into a iconic focal point. This 3D shape serves as the background wall of the central bar, while the support structure of the bar is made of recycled wood, reminiscent of flotsam washed ashore. Carefully selected concrete tiles provide a barefoot walking experience reminiscent of walking on a beach. To maintain consistency with the island theme of the lounge, the curtain design on the ceiling also evokes the image of a tent on the beach, while also blocking the scorching sun of Dubai. The fully openable glass partition runs through the entire space, injecting vitality into the design when the curtains sway gently in the breeze. In a city that relies so heavily on air conditioning, natural ventilation sets AURA's relaxation space apart and ensures guests' comfort. The green plants dotted throughout the space enhance the outdoor beach atmosphere and complement the furniture's soft green, oatmeal, and blue tones. The central lounge is surrounded by wooden decks like a coastline, filled with sun loungers and low tables. From here, guests can see the mirror-like infinity pool surrounding the tower, as well as the spectacular city and ocean views in the distance. The floating platforms on both sides extend into the water, providing a more unique experience and reminiscent of a private island. The height requirement for the location of the swimming pool requires windproof boards to be installed in every corner to prevent waves from flipping over the outer edge of the facility. Although swimmers can easily swim below, this design helps visually divide the outdoor area for private functions. Therefore, Kokaistudios also added an outdoor bar on the east side of the pool, creating a venue for exclusive parties and private events. If the concept of AURA's 50th floor swimming pool and lounge is an aerial island, then the auxiliary space on the 49th floor is imagined as a cave underwater, including changing rooms, staff areas, and retail areas. The colors, materials, and formal themes of the upper and lower floors are consistent, connected by brass stairs inlaid with LED lighting. The design core of the lower space is the same rock-like marble finish as the 50th floor lounge, while the changing room has sandblasted blue-green glass doors. There is no sunlight here, forming a sharp contrast with the sunny atmosphere on the upper floor, enhancing the theme of the cave. When designing AURA SKYPOOL, Kokaistudios aimed to build and integrate it into the breathtaking scenery of Dubai. The design of AURA SKYPOOL resort achieves this by creating a dialogue between indoor and outdoor spaces: artificial islands and imagined islands, a fresh and transparent atmosphere above the water and a colorful world below. As the world's highest 360° infinity pool, it has quickly become one of Dubai's must-visit destinations. The subtle touch, natural breeze, elegant canopy, and sparkling blue water that meets the sky combine to make people feel unique and luxurious, as if they are in the center of the city but far away from the heat and noise.
