Description Magic & Sand: Dubai

Overlooking the Arabian Desert and its ever-changing skyline, this chic home boasts incomparable balcony views. Step inside the studio apartment and enjoy opulent interior design. Furnished with soft rugs and gold accents, this is a relaxing space for couples to take shelter from the Middle Eastern sun.

Perched high above the Al Barsha neighbourhood, it's about a nineteen-minute drive away from the glamourous Dubai Mall – but you could treat yourself and book a chauffeur instead. Paddle in the communal swimming pool, or squeeze in a session at the gym, before taking a twenty-minute stroll down to The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence.

Freshen up in the walk-in shower, then contact the concierge and arrange to ride camels or dune buggies across Dubai's golden sands. Come home after creating unforgettable memories and snuggle up on the sofa while flicking through the TV channels. Google an Arabic recipe and try your hand at cooking a local dish in this fully-furnished kitchen.
