Azure of the Arabian

Perched on the island of Palm Jumeirah, this villa ticks all the boxes. The skyline and Arabian Sea views speak for themselves – as does direct access to the beach. We're also big fans of the patio and private plunge pool, where you can relax in the sun. Inside, the living space is flooded with daylight. Each bedroom boasts an en-suite bathroom, though our favourite is the primary with its lush soaker tub. A sixth bedroom is also available to use for staff for an additional fee. Keen to explore the city? JBR Beach, Dubai Marina, Burj Khalifa and other world-famous attractions are about twenty minutes by taxi.

Home truths:
*The sixth bedroom is a maid's room that can accommodate two extra guests upon request. It has an en-suite bathroom with a shower. Both the bedroom and bathroom are not photographed but expect the quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*If you plan on driving, you'll find private parking in the garage.
*Your host can provide a free cot if you're travelling with little ones.
