Natalie Derbas

Natalie is a passionate philanthropist and interior designer of unique residential spaces. As the family property development business continued to grow, with iconic landmarks such as Infinity Tower (Dubai’s iconic twisting tower); Silverene twin towers and most recently, Serenia Residences The Palm populating Dubai’s landscape, Natalie found herself drawn to the excitement of the selection of materials for the various projects and the presentation of the model homes and hence her passion for interiors was born.. Together with their company’s Palma Core Foundation, Natalie and her husband are very active in the local community in assisting the underprivileged by granting university scholarships to needy students and have also built a school for Palestinian girls in Lebanon and invested in educational institutions in other parts of the region. Raising 3 inquisitive children in the midst of all of this, has been her greatest joy and challenge! Previously, Natalie spent her early career in the corporate world in London at Ernst & Young & KPMG, followed by a move to Dubai where she conceptualized and brought various concepts to the market such as an Architectural landscaping practice as well as a French patisserie and bistro.

Interiors, travel & expanding my horizons; breaking down stereotypes & the education of the underprivileged; especially girls..

Inherently we are all the same & in need of the same things; let’s discard our prejudices & embrace different cultures..
