Description Palm Jumeirah Escape: Dubai

Look at the spectacular sea and Dubai skyline vistas from this Palm Jumeirah home's private balcony. You can enjoy more views from the inside, too – we particularly love the outlook from the bedrooms. There are some excellent shared facilities here – check out the pool and the beach cabanas. You can also dine at the beachfront restaurant, entertain the kids in the play area and keep fit in the communal gym. Out and about, there are plenty of eateries and boutiques, but if you want to explore many of the city's attractions, you'll need to hop in a cab, hire a car or use public transport. Alternatively, you can let your host organise a private chauffeur or city tour for you.

Home truths:
*You'll have access to the on-site gym, landscaped grounds, pool and kids' play area here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
*One bedroom has a desk if you need to work from home.
*As with many apartments in Dubai, this home lacks a homely vibe, but the amazing views more than make up for that.
*There's free covered parking here.
