Palm Oil

It comes as no surprise that this Dubai apartment is sleek and sophisticated. Located right by Palm Jumeirah, residents of the building have exclusive access to a private beach – plus a host of luxurious facilities and high-end amenities. On top of that, you've got a patio terrace all to yourself. From sunny morning coffees to evening cocktails, it's the perfect place to take five and soak up the plush atmosphere of your modern pad and its idyllic surroundings. Any closer to the ocean, and you'd be swimming in it.

We'd say this home ticks all the right boxes, and stepping inside you'll immediately know what we mean. Throw open the French doors, instantly expanding your living area and creating a refreshing flow through the entire apartment. From the glossy marble floors to the stylish furnishings, curated houseplants and soothing blue-hued walls, it's a serene setting to kick back and unwind.

Wake up in the light-filled bedroom, dressed in vibrant pops of yellow and feel inspired to get up and start your day. When you're ready, head down to the communal swimming pool for a few lengths or perhaps you'll make a beeline for the well-equipped gym. Alternatively, treat yourself to a moment of stillness and relaxation, by making use of the building's excellent spa facilities.
