Dubai has once again cemented its reputation as a hub of innovation and luxury with the opening of the stunning One Za’abeel twin skyscrapers. These towering structures are not only visually striking, but they are also home to some record-breaking features.
One of the most impressive aspects of One Za’abeel is the world’s longest cantilever building, known as “The Link.” A cantilever is a structural element that is supported at only one end, allowing it to extend horizontally without additional support. In the case of One Za’abeel, the cantilever extends an impressive 67.5 meters (221 feet) over the city.
But it’s not just the engineering marvel of the cantilever that has captured attention. Perched on top of The Link is the UAE’s longest suspended infinity pool. Measuring 120 meters (393 feet) in length, this breathtaking pool offers swimmers a truly unparalleled experience. Imagine swimming in an infinity pool that seemingly floats in the air, with nothing but a six-lane highway below. It’s a stunning sight that gives the feeling of swimming among the clouds and overlooking the city.
The Link serves more than just a structural purpose. It also acts as a bustling boulevard, featuring a variety of dining experiences for guests. From Japanese-Peruvian cuisine at the poolside Nikkei restaurant, Tapasake, to a pool club with VIP cabanas, loungers, and daybeds, The Link offers a unique social space for residents and hotel guests of One Za’abeel.
In addition to its social and architectural significance, The Link plays a crucial role in the overall design and stability of One Za’abeel. Designed with a slight lean, the two towers rely on the weight of The Link to pull them in and strengthen the structure as a whole. This structural ingenuity ensures the stability and durability of the entire complex.
Notably, One Za’abeel is not the first record-setting pool in Dubai. The city is known for its extravagant pools, including the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool and the tallest infinity pool inside a building. These impressive pools are a testament to Dubai’s commitment to luxury and pushing boundaries.
Whether you’re a hotel guest, resident, or visitor, experiencing the One Za’abeel infinity pool is now possible through a pool day pass. Starting at 1,000 dirhams ($272), these passes allow access to the breathtaking pool and its panoramic views of the city.
Dubai continues to redefine luxury and innovation, and One Za’abeel is a prime example of the city’s vision. With its record-breaking cantilever and suspended infinity pool, this architectural marvel is set to become a sought-after destination for those seeking a unique and unforgettable experience. So, if you find yourself in Dubai, don’t miss the opportunity to take a dip in the world’s longest cantilever building and enjoy the unparalleled views from the suspended infinity pool atop One Za’abeel. It will truly be an experience like no other.
