PALACES IN THE SKY

Perched on the crown of the Resort Tower in Wynn Al Marjan Island, the all-new Mayfair Apartment and Paris Apartment bring ultra-luxury, private residences tipped with panoramic vistas across the Arabian Gulf for global guests.

Wynn Al Marjan Island unveils the Mayfair Apartment and Paris Apartment, redefining world-class luxury hospitality. Set within the crown of the Resort Tower, the two signature royal residences offer the highest and largest accommodations within Enclave, Wynn Al Marjan Island's boutique hotel experience.

Spanning 1,460 square meters on the uppermost floors of the 70-storey tower, these palaces in the sky offer soaring views of the Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Gulf, marked by treasured privacy and deeply personalized hospitality.

Created through a collaboration between Todd-Avery Lenahan, President and Chief Creative Officer of Wynn Design & Development, and internationally acclaimed design studios Anouska Hempel Design of London and Pinto of Paris — all synonymous with the world's most lavish spaces.

“I have long admired these two studios because both Pinto and Anouska Hempel are the originators of unique genres of design in our industry,” says Todd-Avery Lenahan. “I sought to commission the ateliers that did it first — the studios that established many of the design principles still referenced throughout the highest levels of luxury design for decades. I wanted to create something rooted in the legacy of knowing what captivates people universally yet is entirely relevant to the most discerning contemporary guest.” For Lenahan, the Mayfair and Paris Apartments are the ultimate expression of one of the design philosophies exhibited throughout Wynn Al Marjan Island: that the rarest experiences are built on thoughtful, singular design.

The Mayfair and Paris Apartments offer complete privacy and discretion from arrival to departure. Complemented by seven bedrooms, each Royal Apartment features multiple entertaining rooms, private bars, and opulent spaces for gathering. In-apartment dining, spa and salon treatments, entertainment, and personalized service are delivered within the apartments, allowing guests to remain entirely within their private world, should they choose.

Created for a global guest accustomed to the world’s most exceptional experiences, every element has been conceived to deliver moments that feel unexpected and unforgettable. As thoroughly bespoke experiences, these grand architectural spaces are imbued with the finest furnishings and custom design details created exclusively for the space.

The Paris Apartment

Conceived by renowned Paris design studio, Pinto, the Paris Apartment is evocative of a 21st-century collector and world traveler’s apartment, bringing together bespoke creations, curated artworks, and objects gathered from around the globe within a soaring and dramatic two-story pied-a-terre.

Founded by the late Alberto Pinto in 1971, Pinto is synonymous with exquisite homes, yachts, and private jets created for a global clientele. The studio is led today by owner and co-artistic director Fahad Hariri and co-artistic director Pietro Scaglione.

“From the outset, we wanted an authentic expression of Pinto’s  design philosophy,” says Lenahan. “The Pinto team sought to understand our business, our guest, and our principles — and then we set them free. We never questioned a material or a gesture. We wanted the pure expression of Pinto.”

Grand columns heighten the sense of arrival, while reflections across glass surfaces draw the sky into the interior, lending the space a dreamlike quality. Throughout, hand-painted murals, collectible-quality artworks, and artisan-crafted lighting reward a second look — a fresh interpretation of Arabic hospitality that acknowledges the sophistication of the region’s guests without resorting to familiar motifs.

“The space is composed of a mix of bespoke pieces, auction finds, and market discoveries — and that mix makes it a traveler’space,” says Pietro Scaglione, co-artistic director of Pinto. “It is a dialogue of different ages and cultures. The challenge was for it to feel exclusive yet still feel like home.”

The Mayfair Apartment

Designed by Anouska Hempel Design, The Mayfair Apartment draws inspiration from the great private residences of London. Classical planning, rich materiality, and exquisitely detailed craftsmanship create an apartment that feels at once grand and intimate. Its name is a tribute both to the studio’s London roots and to the enduring affection many of the region’s guests hold for Mayfair’s signature exclusivity and elegance.

“Anouska created what are arguably the very first boutique hotels with her namesake London properties, Blake’s and the Hempel,” says Lenahan. “Guests of Anouska’s hotel were a who’s who from the global stage because of how she launched the ultimate boutique hotel experience.”

Likened to a stately city home, echoing those found along Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, a signature jewel-toned green runs throughout — seen in lacquered paneling, green marble, and richly detailed millwork, sharpened with gilded accents — beneath views spanning the Arabian Gulf coastline and the mountains beyond.
