Renowned for its pretty waterways surrounded by buzzy restaurants and cafes, Dubai Marina is one of the most coveted addresses in the city and this apartment puts you right in the thick of the action. Step behind the front door and you're greeted by living quarters that are inescapably elegant. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors covering one end of the living space flood the interior with sunshine and this dances rather nicely off the rich-brown wooden floor. We've got nothing but kind words for the tasteful selection of furnishings and decorative items, while the sleek kitchen is a thing of beauty, too. The final flourish is the apartment's balcony, which offers a wonderful vantage point from which to gaze out over the Marina below and neighbouring skyscrapers. That's not the only spot in the building with a view, by the way. Guests have access to an infinity pool from which to watch yachts gliding across the water down below, plus gym and spa facilities available inside, too. That's not to forget the huge range of attractions that lie close by as well, from the Emirates Golf Club and Marina Beach to the shops and fountains on the extraordinary Palm Jumeirah.
