A spa and 24-hour gym are located on level 61, while all guests will receive access and free transfers to Soluna Beach Club on Palm Jumeirah.
Ciel Dubai Marina's also offers connections to Dubai Marina Mall and the city’s tram and metro services. Its location gives guests easy access to the nearby JBR beachfront and Bluewaters, home to The Walk and Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel.
