Head-spinning views of the Burj Khalifa and its famous dancing fountains take all the glory at this swish, serviced apartment set slap bang in the middle of Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard – the hub of the city’s downtown. With its buzzy restaurant-lined strip connected by The Dubai Trolley tram to hop on and off, and the shopping mecca, Dubai Mall, all within walking distance, it doesn’t get more central than this, folks.

Back home, once you’re done gawping at the vistas from the private balcony, inside, you’ll discover an ultra-sleek bolthole awaiting. And though this is studio living, it’s been thoughtfully designed for a single traveller with a smart kitchen space to fire up the coffee pod machine and rustle up breakfast. A bistro table which perfectly doubles as a workspace should you need to catch up on emails. And a cosy sofa nook to drop and flop with film nights. Need a change of scene? Then mosey downstairs to find a well-equipped gym to bank a workout and a palm-fringed pool to soak up the Emirati rays.

Gulf Tiger

Within walking distance of the Dubai Fountain, the Dubai Mall, and the Dubai Opera, this home places you in a prime position for exploring the city’s hotspots. Perfect for a couple or solo traveller, whether you’re in the city for business or pleasure you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay here. For days not spent sightseeing, the private balcony is a welcome spot for morning coffee or evening aperitifs. Fancy soaking up the sun instead? Head to the rooftop terrace where you can swim in the communal pool as skyscrapers surround you – the Burj Khalifa included. 

Skyline Heights

Plush and contemporary furnishings present this Dubai apartment with elegance and sophistication throughout. With muted, understated tones and high-quality materials, the space oozes opulence – which is very much in keeping with the city's luxurious aesthetic in general. 

Best of all, however, are the poolside views overlooking the iconic Burj Khalifa. Also shared with other guests of the building, you'll have access to an on-site fitness centre, garden, a games room and kid's play area. 

From here, the Dubai Mall, Dubai Fountain, Dubai Opera and the world-famous Burj Khalifa – are all within unrivalled reach, only a fifteen-minute walk away. 

Vanilla Fudge 

Housed in a residential complex, this sleek apartment is a great pick for business travellers with its shared amenities and central locale. From here, you're a short drive from the Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera, and the Burj Khalifa – visible from the home's private balcony. Inside, the home is stylish and practical, with an elegant dining area and a compact kitchen – ideal for those planning a longer stay. Elsewhere, you'll be able to make use of the building's shared facilities, including a swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, and a communal roof terrace, where you can socialise with the other residents or simply take in the skyline views. 

Fountainview Retreat

Perfect for a couple, this brand-new Downtown Dubai home is located within walking distance of the iconic Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. Thoughtfully furnished and artfully decorated – think mid-century-modern meets monochrome abstracts – this awesome apartment will have you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated in no time.

You’ll love waking up and stepping directly out onto your glass-fronted balcony. Enjoy your morning Nespresso surrounded by skyscrapers and feel as if you are on top of the world. Start the day with a cardio-heavy workout or weights session in the state-of-the-art gym before treating yourself to a soothing swim in the communal, outdoor pool while admiring unbeatable urban views.  Try your hand at preparing traditional Emirati dishes on the granite worktops in the kitchen or snack on flatbread and baba ghanoush at the marble-topped table in the living room. Kick back and relax on the charcoal-coloured L-shaped sofa – we’ll bet you won’t be able to stop yourself whiling away hours gazing out of the adjacent floor-to-ceiling windows. 

Alternatively, take a turn about Southridge Park, just across the street, or head out on a sightseeing mission before returning to hang out in one of the building’s several luxurious lounges.


Sugar & Spice & All Things Nice

If you’re looking for an apartment in Dubai's Business Bay area, take a look at this place. The home has a private balcony, perfect for a chilled drink, while the kitchen is quite compact, but it has all you need for creating some Emirati cuisine. What impresses us is the shared pool with its stunning views of the dramatic skyline and the Burj Khalifa. There’s also a pool for children, a communal gym and a barbeque area. When you want to explore further, there’s a shopping centre within a five-minute walk, while the Dubai Creek Canal is also a short stroll away. Other attractions, such as Jumeirah Beach and the Dubai Marina, can be reached within a fifteen to twenty-five-minute drive.

Skyscraper Retreat

Situated a short distance from the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall, this home places you within easy reach of many of the city’s hotspots. It’s an ideal base whether you’re in Dubai for business or pleasure, and the views are something you’ll never tire of – best enjoyed, we think, over a morning coffee or evening aperitif on the private balcony. To beat the Dubai heat, you’ll also find a communal pool just waiting to cool you down, and fitness fanatics can stay on top of their routine in the on-site gym. 

Dubai Rhapsody

Situated in downtown Dubai, you don't get much closer to the action than here. With staggering views overlooking the iconic Burj Khalifa, you'll be just a short walk away from the world-renowned Dubai Mall. 

The contemporary and stylish designs of the apartment provide a blissful sanctuary to retreat to after hours spent shopping, sightseeing and lapping up the city's majestic skyscraper views. With an open-plan layout, the space offers the perfect set-up to those in town on business or pleasure, as you'll find enough room to work from a laptop in the dining area. 

While there is room for meal preparation and home cooking here, our best bet is that you'll be keen to sample some of Dubai's local and world cuisines. Between excursions in the city – the on-site swimming pool, sunbathing area, and state-of-the-art gym with multiple weight rooms will ensure you can balance business or sightseeing with some all-important leisure and wellness. 




Burj Khalifa Bliss

When you stay at this modern studio apartment in Business Bay, you can have a swim in the huge pool, sunbathe on the expansive sundeck or do a workout in the innovative fitness centre.

Alternatively, enjoy a cold drink on the private balcony with its views over the Business Bay area. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow light to flood in – unwind on the cream mid-century-style sofa in the open plan space and truly relax. We have to say, the city vistas from the bedroom are lovely too.

When you feel like exploring, the Dubai Mall is a four-minute drive, while the Burj Khalifa is five minutes in the car. Or, for a fun day out, head to the Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark, a twenty-two-minute drive from this home.


Business As Usual	

A modern studio space, perfect for a solo traveller or couple in need of a convenient base from which to explore the sights of Dubai – this spot has you covered. 

While you'll find many fabulous eateries in the area, it's always nice to have the option of cooking at home too. You'll have your own kitchen and alfresco dining space out on the terrace, meaning you can enjoy blissful homemade breakfasts in bed as well as lunches and evening meals with a downtown city view across the boulevard from here. 

On-site, you'll have access to the communal gym and swimming pool, should you wish to tune in to some leisure and relaxation time during your stay.

When you're ready to explore, the sought-after Burj Khalifa is only a short walk away, alongside the Mall of Dubai and the majestic Dubai Fountain – well worth a visit at night time for its spectacular water show. And if you're renting a car here, you'll have the rest of the city, including the beaches, malls and golf resorts, at your fingertips. 



Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Surrounded by striking skyscrapers, corporate high-rises and sparkling blue water, this chic apartment overlooks Dubai's bustling Business Bay. Ideally located for a working holiday, you'll have everything you need to work hard, play hard. Boasting a private balcony with views of the iconic Burj Khalifa right in front of you, you'll have the perfect morning coffee spot to enjoy a caffeine fix before a busy day. There's also a shared gym, swimming pool and juice bar, if you like to start your days with a workout.

If you have time to explore,  the Dubai Mall is close by and you couldn't ask for a better place to indulge in a little retail therapy. Browse the high-end boutiques then head to one of the waterside restaurants along the canal to refuel – you'll be spoilt for choice with an array of international cuisines on offer.

When you return home, run a bubble bath and relax. If you need to catch up on some work or squeeze in a last-minute zoom meeting, the stylish desk will ensure you stay focused and productive. You'll have a fully-equipped kitchen here too, which is super convenient for those important snack breaks and rustling up late-night dinners. 





Back to Business

Situated in the Business Bay area, this apartment is near the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall. A network of canals surrounds the home – in fact, you get a view of them and some impressive architecture from this apartment's private balcony. The kitchen here is on the small side, with little food preparation space, but it has an oven and microwave and everything you need to create home-cooked meals. We doubt you'll be spending much time in the apartment with all the facilities on offer here, though. There's a temperature-controlled swimming pool, gym, steam rooms and sauna, as well as landscaped grounds.
