The Shangri-La Residences are set within the 8.5 hectare complex, and connected to all the facilities via the hotel's waterway Abras (gondolas) and a club car. The accommodation ranges from studios to four-bedroom apartments. The architecture is Arabian and the decor is modern, providing a pleasing sense of warmth and freedom throughout.

All units are sea facing with either a terrace or a balcony, with extraordinary views across the ocean or the two dedicated pool areas. Studios range from 60 to 93 square metres, one-bedroom apartments from 75 to 118 square metres, two bedroom from 140 to 168 square metres, three bedroom 225 sq metres and four-bedroom apartments at 247 square metres. The Residences are managed by the hotel so each guest will experience Shangri-La hospitality first-hand within this exclusive setting. For enhanced comfort, the units have living rooms, kitchen and en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom.
