Description Line of Beauty: Dubai

Perched on the outer edge of the Palm Jumeirah, this apartment brings together a luxurious interior and a fabulous collection of amenities, all in a truly superb location.

The home itself feels bright and fresh, thanks to the stark white walls and floors. A colourful collection of artwork and rugs pop off pleasingly against this blank backdrop, while the kitchen is both impressively large and sleek, too. We're also big fans of the fact that, In one of the bedrooms and the living room, there are balconies with space to sit and ponder the peaceful sea views.

This would be more than enough by itself, but guests are also treated to plenty of communal facilities within the building. These range from a palm-lined swimming pool and private beach to a tennis court and fitness centre with a sauna.

And that's before you get around to the wealth of things to see and do nearby, as well. The boutiques and designer shops on the Golden Mile are only ten minutes' drive, as are the Lost Chambers Aquarium and the Palm Fountain.
