At this well-lit dining table, you'll want to gather your loved ones for a Middle Eastern breakfast, as you discuss the day ahead over a cup of coffee. Of course, you could always stay on-site and spend your afternoon lounging around the communal pool or keeping fit on the basketball court. Perhaps you'll socialise in the barbecue area and try Arabian-style skewers for dinner. Later, we suggest returning to your private balcony to watch the sunset over the sparkling Persian Gulf.

While away hours reading, reclining or simply gazing out to sea or, if you’re feeling more energetic, get your sweat on in the communal gym before cooling off with a dip in the shared outdoor pool. Host sociable cook-offs in the all-white kitchen before dining altogether in the light-filled living space – think floor-to-ceiling windows and peaches and cream colour palette. Get the gang together for movie night or sneak in a little alone time in the upstairs relaxation room. Whatever you do be sure to squeeze in a spa-worthy soak in the tub before bed – who doesn’t love a little pamper and preening session? 


Peaches & Cream Dream

Chasing the Emirate's magical year-round sunshine away from the hustle of Dubai? Then whisk yourselves away to this sleek townhouse set in a swanky residential complex in Ras Al Khaima city.

Head to the hills for a hiking trip to Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest mountain – the views are sensational. Take to the sea with beachside water sports action. Book a dune-bashing tour in a 4X4 – it’s a thing. After something a little more gentile? Then an afternoon hopping between the shared infinity pool and sun terraces back at the complex is just the ticket. Or treat yourself to a spa treatment at the neighbouring five-star hotel as a day guest (for an additional fee).

When thoughts turn to food, head back to the townhouse to rustle up a Bedouin-inspired feast. Cooking is a joy in the free-flowing living space, while others perch at the breakfast bar to keep you company. Then all spill out onto that vast private terrace to toast the day’s end with a glass of something crisp and bubbly. 

When it’s finally time to bank some Zzzs, you’ll love the gloriously clutter-free and serene feel of the bedrooms spread out across two floors. And with each room offering its own marble-clad bathroom, you’ll be up and at em’ in no time here.

Then there are the facilities in the apartment block itself – an onsite fitness centre and communal swimming pool to cool off in the desert heat.

The apartment is perfect for a group or family stay.

For the beach bums, you can spend the whole holiday on the golden sands without having to travel further than ten minutes. After a day of sunbathing, visit the high-class bars and restaurants along the palm's shoreline. 

Despite its close proximity, there is much more to this apartment than the beach. Dubai Marina is a short drive away – visit the collection of fine restaurants, live entertainment shows and a cinema. 

Of course, you don't even need to leave the apartment complex to experience modern luxury. Work up a sweat in the gym, which features both weights and cardio equipment, or do a few lengths of the pool. 

If you'd prefer a low-key evening in, settle down for dinner on the balcony dining table or just snuggle up on the sofa with a film.

Waters Of The Palm

The home also sits on a resort that boasts a shared pool, playground and sports facilities for you to work up a sweat in.

Inside the home, modern decor gives the home a luxe feel, with a monochromatic colour scheme that provides a smart and stylish touch. We love the gorgeous fully-equipped kitchen, with its marble-effect surfaces and stunning lighting fixtures, making for a great place to cook up shakshuka breakfasts in the mornings – and there's a dining table where you can all tuck in. We also love the terrace area, with an alfresco lounge set that's ideal for sipping on sundowners in the evenings.

This modern home will be your calming oasis to renew and refresh you in between busy days exploring Ras Al-Khaimah and beyond. We love the flowing white drapes that let a haze of light in, making the home feel radiant and dreamy.

Dive into Dubai living at its finest and most luxurious at this showstopper of a serviced apartment, set in one of the city's most iconic beachfront complexes. We could go on forever about this home's exquisite interiors (and don't get us started on those jaw-dropping views). But truthfully, it's the five-star shared facilities that set this place apart from the rest.

Get off to a towering start with morning laps in the world's tallest infinity pool. When it's time to rest up, there's a cabana with your name on it to soak up the sunshine and views of the glistening sea or book in for a  treatment at the world-class spa. Then the rest of the day is yours to hop between the golden sands of Jumeriah Beach or splash about the lagoon-style pool downstairs.

When thoughts turn to food, you can always zip back upstairs to the apartment to rustle up a bite to eat in the sleek, modern kitchen and soak up the city landscapes. Though with five different restaurants to choose from downstairs in the complex, we suspect you'll be eating out here a lot. Our vote goes to the buzzy Lebanese and Brazilian fusion restaurant with sharing platters and happy hour – the sunset views from the outdoor terrace deliver all the holiday vibes you're chasing. Or jump in the car and join the locals down at Dubai Marina and the winding Souks of Madinat Jumeirah (both within easy reach) for a more authentic taste of Dubai life.

Cloud Cuckoo

Are you looking for a sleek UAE retreat to soak up those year-round sunny skies? Step forward this crisp, contemporary townhouse perched in an exclusive residential complex in Ras Al Khaimah. Less built-up than its showier neighbour, Dubai, we love the island vibes of this district with its power-white beaches, natural wetlands and impressive hotel-worthy facilities back at the complex.

Spend your days bobbing about the shared infinity pool to soak up the rays. Bank a workout in the impressive communal sports facilities. Or mosey over to the neighbouring hotel, where you’re welcome to use the five-star spa facilities for an additional fee as a day guest.

Ready to drop and flop back at home? Then head for that private suntrap terrace – it's got sundowners written all over it. Or take things inside to rustle up an evening meal in the made-for-action kitchen. You can keep the nominated chef from your crew company perched at the breakfast bar. Or spill out upstairs into the secondary sitting room with a good book.

When it’s finally time to lay your heads, you’ll love how spaced apart the bedrooms are, each with its own bathroom. Though prepare for a tussle for that main suite with balcony access and marble-clad en-suite – it’s a knockout.  

 Bedouin Skies

Slick and modern, this home is a stylish contemporary townhouse. Decorated with comfort and class in mind, you’ll feel right at home from the moment you pull up a stool at the breakfast bar. Sip your morning coffee after a restful night's sleep on the private balcony – a lovely spot to catch the morning rays. Tranquil and clean, the interiors are equally delicately calming. Plump beds, floor-to-ceiling windows and comfortable sofas will provide the backdrop to a relaxing stay. 

Ideal for families and groups of friends, there is privacy aplenty along with the array of facilities. Spend the afternoon taking a refreshing dip in the communal pool to burn off some energy or entertain the children at the playground. Moments away, you can also indulge in the nearby resort where water sports and a spa are only some of the ways you can pass the time. Well connected to Dubai, convenience is key. As you dine at the beautifully decorated dining table, reminiscing over your day, you can ‘cheers’ to your delightful surroundings.

Welcome Hamper

This sprawling penthouse towers over Dubai, with gorgeous views from the wrap-around balcony. You'll have your own billiards, poker, and foosball tables here, not to mention a bar and multiple living areas. There's also a range of shared amenities to take advantage of, including a fitness centre and two resort-style swimming pools on the 5th and 45th floors. Right in the heart of downtown, we think it's ideal for family getaways or corporate trips, with the beaches and shops within easy reach. For an extra touch of excitement, your host can help arrange a variety of excursions and activities for an additional fee.

The Original Red Light

Get acquainted with Arabian city living at this sleek townhouse set in Mina Al Arabin – an upmarket waterfront complex in the city of Ras Al Khaimah. Less built-up than its showy neighbour, Dubai, and surrounded by beaches and wetlands, there's a more peaceful, laidback vibe in this emirate. But when the hustle and bustle of Dubai calls, you're within easy driving distance of the City of Gold.

Back home, we love this townhouse's pared-back, clutter-free decor. It's all cool, marble floors, sleek polished finishes and modern Scandinavian furniture bring a flare of modernity and style. And did we mention there's a vast private terrace outside to drop and flop with a few evening sundowners? Now we're talking.

Offering the best of residential living, with all the quality of a five-star hotel, there's a shared swimming pool at the heart of the complex and communal sports facilities to bank a workout. Or up the ante and head to the hills for a hiking trip to Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest mountain – the views are worth the climb. You can always reward yourself afterwards with a spa treatment at the neighbouring five-star resort, which offers day passes to guests for an additional fee – you've earnt it.

Jebel Jais

With its stylish decor and practical design, this modern apartment is the perfect pad for the seasoned business traveller or city break explorer. Drop your bags and make yourself at home on the sleek modular sofa before stepping onto your private balcony with a refreshing drink in hand. Look out over the stunning Dubai Canal and feel the warmth of the Arabian gulf across your face. After a bite to eat rustled up at the fully-equipped kitchen and a look around the bright and comfortable bedroom, check out your building’s communal facilities. We recommend a gentle dip in the swimming pool or a workout in the gym to get your day going. 

When it's time to head out and about, lively Business Bay, home to the iconic Burj Khalifa, its famous boulevard and dancing fountains, is just a short drive from your door. Soak up all of the glamour of Dubai with a trip to the famous shopping mall, then stretch out on Palm Jumeirah Beach, only a few minutes away via car. And, at the end of another fabulous day in this golden city, watch the sun set over the Dubai waterway from the comfort of your well-appointed terrace. 

Get Down To Business

Make the great desert escape to this crisp, contemporary villa set in the exclusive Mina Al Arabin residential complex in Ras Al Khaimah. Surrounded by lush green landscapes and powdery white sands, there's an island-living feel to this complex that we love. And you're never far from the glittering lights of neighbouring Dubai city when it's time for a change of pace – it's an easy drive away.

You may find all you need right here at this oh-so-sleek villa, though. Offering up the best of residential living with the quality of a five-star hotel, at the heart of the complex, you'll find a shared communal pool and sports facilities to while away the afternoon. Next door, at the neighbouring five-star hotel, there's a spa complex that you're welcome to use for an additional fee. Or head back to the villa for a bob about your private plunge pool – it's the perfect spot to beat the heat.

Sleeping thirteen guests, there's heaps of space to spill out in style inside. Get together in the lofty living space and cook up a Bedouin-inspired feast in the sleek, modern kitchen. Or, for some quiet time, sneak away to the secondary sitting room upstairs or the bedroom's impressive private balconies with a good book – they'll never even notice you were gone.

Red Sands

Grab yourself a taste of Bedouin life at this oh-so-sleek townhouse, perched in the exclusive Mina Al Arabin residential complex of Ras Al Khaima city.

Kick off your sandy shoes in the impressive double-height entrance lobby and pad across the cool marble floor into the main living space. Cool, crisp and contemporary, everywhere feels fresh and inviting. Monochrome Bedouin carpets remind you this home is firmly planted in the emirates and floor-to-ceiling terrace doors flood the space in natural daylight.

With bedrooms set out across the two floors, groups of friends or extended family will appreciate the added sense of space. And if you’re after some quiet time, you can always slope away to the secondary sitting room upstairs or the bedroom’s balcony to soak up the late afternoon rays.

When it’s time for a change of scene, the communal swimming pool at the heart of the complex should do very nicely. Or mosey over to the spa centre at the neighbouring five-star hotel – day passes are available for an additional fee. Want to up the ante? Then head to the hills for a hiking trip to Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest mountain – the views are worth the climb. Or blaze a trail into Dubai – it's an easy drive away.

Bedouin Sun

Stay in Dubai’s hottest new district, Arjan, bursting with luxury retail outlets, upscale restaurants, and top-notch business centres. And from your conveniently located luxe apartment, you can explore it all with ease. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find a bright interior, accented with gold touches and sleek finishes. The sliding patio doors let the light sweep through the home, reflecting on the glimmering surfaces. Whether you’re in Dubai for work or play, you’ll love starting your days with freshly brewed coffee on the balcony, the ever-clear blue skies promising a great day ahead. Or perhaps you’d prefer to kick off the day with a few laps in the communal pool, followed by a quick session in the gym.

This chic apartment is a great choice for those in search of that lavish Dubai lifestyle but prefers to be away from the hustle and bustle. And while you might not expect to find luscious parks this close to the desert, the nearby Dubai Miracle Garden is a lovely place to explore – especially on those post-work walks.

Gold & Bold

Peering over the Dubai skyline and a picturesque golf course lies this stylish apartment. Just a short taxi ride away from the beaches of Palm Jumeirah as well as the Dubai Marina, this is a perfect spot from which to explore the city. You'll have access to the building's shared facilities, including a swimming pool and well-equipped gym, so you won't have to travel far to fill your stay with activity. With floor-to-ceiling windows and a bright living area, there's plenty of space for your group to relax, and the private terrace with seating is a nice touch for sunset cocktails together. 

Elegant in the City

Whether you're travelling for business or pleasure, this apartment is a great base to call home. Situated in Dubai Marina, you'll find the city's top highlights are within easy driving distance, including JBR Beach, The Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab. Inside, it's bright and modern, with plenty of room to spread out and relax. Our favourite spot is out on the canal-facing balcony, which serves as a calming place to sip your morning coffee. Elsewhere, you'll also have access to the building's shared facilities, including a swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, and a business centre – ideal for those planning a longer stay.

Located in City Walk, this apartment promises a restful stay with easy access to plenty of family-friendly attractions and dining options. The smart interiors create a modern space to relax and recharge between sightseeing excursions while the private balcony serves as a lovely spot for morning coffee. You'll also find a communal swimming pool to enjoy on hot afternoons as well as an on-site gym. The surrounding area is ideal for families, with parks, playgrounds, shopping centres and entertainment venues nearby. But if you'd prefer to take it easy, Jumeirah Beach is reached by car in less than ten minutes. 

The Painted Desert

If you're looking for a fuss-free bolthole away from the inner-city hustle, this apartment should do nicely. While the balcony overlooking Dubai Creek is a bonus, the views aren't overly inspiring, with ongoing building work nearby. But in this ever-growing pocket of Dubai, that's nothing new. While it's not the largest home in our Dubai collection, it's all well cared for, and there's a host of impressive, shared facilities. Think sparkling pool, fully equipped gym and communal gardens. Location-wise, you're just a fifteen-minute from the city's shopping mecca, Dubai Mall, and a twenty-five drive from the iconic Palm Jumeirah for when it's time to hit the sights.

Reflections of Dubai 

Just a short walk from the beach, this apartment located in Dubai Creek Harbour offers a relaxing coastal stay, far removed from the hustle and bustle. And yet, it's only a short drive from Downtown Dubai and the city's top highlights. When you're not at the beach or sightseeing, spend time relaxing on the private balcony or making use of the building's shared facilities. You'll find communal swimming pools, a well-equipped gym, and waterfront dining to enjoy. The apartment itself provides everything needed for longer stays, with a fully equipped kitchen and a stylish dining area for group meals and lazy evenings at home. 

Tideview Terrace

Occupying a privileged spot overlooking the sea, this apartment provides a relaxing retreat for groups on Dubai's famous Palm Jumeirah. You'll have direct access to the building's private beach, shared outdoor swimming pools, on-site gym and communal gardens. Those travelling with children will also find play areas and a park. Inside, the space is stylish and practical, equipped with three on-site bathrooms, a working desk area, a single sofa bed, and a private balcony with picturesque views over the complex. All in all, this pad has a lot going for it.

Sunlight Above the Sea

If you want to be situated within the maritime hub of the UAE, this home's location in the Dubai Harbour is ideal. However, many of the city's key attractions are a drive away, including the Dubai Mall, twenty-four minutes by car. Also, the Palm Jumeirah is a fifteen-minute ride, and the Burj Al Arab is twenty-one minutes away. We love the shared amenities here, such as the Miami-style pool deck, gym, kids' splash pads and play area, as well as the views of the sea. There are Persian Gulf and city skyline glimpses from this apartment’s private balconies, too. If you prefer to eat in than dine out, there’s a well-equipped kitchen, ideal for perfecting your skills in Emirati cuisine.

The Sea Empress

Housed in a residential building overlooking JBR Beach and Ain Dubai, this apartment ensures a relaxing coastal stay. With plenty of communal facilities and direct beach access, there's really no need to venture too far from the complex. Think outdoor swimming pool, gym, health club, beauty salon, meeting rooms, and retail outlets for picking up essentials. The home itself features a stylish dining area and a balcony leading off the living space and main bedroom. Each bedroom also offers an en-suite bathroom and a dedicated workspace for those on group business trips, seeking added privacy. 

Coastal Elegance

Do we need to say much about this apartment besides the amazing view? The Dubai skyline and water vistas are wonderful, and the shared facilities are excellent, too. There are lap pools, a gym, a spa, a supermarket, a crèche and a clinic here. If you have any time left to explore, there's the nearby Dubai Canal Boardwalk – the views from here are particularly stunning at night. Many of the city's other main attractions are a drive away, though, so you'll need to use public transport, hop in a cab or hire a car.

Majestic Deco Haven

Perched on Palm Jumeirah, this apartment promises private beach access and waterfront views. It's housed in a residential building, so you'll also have use of the 5-star shared facilities here, including an outdoor pool and a fully-equipped gym – ideal for longer stays. The interiors are kept fairly simple, but the private balcony is a real highlight, and the en-suite bathrooms will help to speed mornings along. Just keep in mind that one person will be sleeping on a sofa bed at full occupancy. Outside, it's a short stroll from the Dubai Marina's restaurants and shopping mall, while JBR Beach is easily reachable for a change of scenery. 

Palm Elegance

In the heart of Dubai Creek Harbour, this sleek apartment is well-placed whether you're travelling for work or leisure. Home comforts are lacking, so we think it's well-suited as a base for work trips. That said, there are communal facilities like a swimming pool and gym, and your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones for an additional fee. The balcony has room to sit out with a small meal or a drink and take in the expansive views. The building offers free parking, and we think it's worth having a car here to visit the city's beaches and attractions like the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and the Dubai Miracle Garden.

Creek Retreat

Housed in a residential tower, this sleek pad is a great base for small groups with its shared amenities and central address. From here, you're a ten-minute walk from the Burj Khalifa and within easy reach of the Dubai Opera and the Dubai Fountain. Inside, the apartment's biggest draw is the private balcony, where you can escape the Downtown noise. The interiors are a little generic for our liking, although you'll find everything needed for a comfortable stay here – we especially appreciate the en-suite bathrooms. You'll also have access to the building's shared swimming pool and communal gym – ideal for filling the gap in between sightseeing ventures. 

Khalifa Dreams

Situated on Palm Jumeirah, this apartment is a great choice for solo travellers or couples in search of an easygoing stay. The apartment building lies directly across from Nakheel Mall, providing an array of dining options and shops. Of course, you'll be within easy reach of the beach here too. When you're not out and about, make the most of the shared on-site facilities, including an infinity pool and a gym. While the interiors are a little plain for our liking, the pad is set up nicely for long stays, with a fully equipped kitchen and laptop-friendly workspaces. There is also space for a third guest on the sofa bed in the living area. 

Sunset Simplicity

Made for soaking up the Dubai sunshine, this home boasts a private balcony with far-reaching city views along with access to the resort’s communal swimming pool and beach. When you’re not cooling off in the sea or the pool, there’s an on-site gym here, too, to stay on top of your fitness. Back home, you’ll find a comfortable space for a couple. Sure, the kitchen is pretty compact, but with The Walk at JBR on your doorstep, dining out is always on the menu.
