Canal View Retreat

Canal View Retreat: Dubai

This apartment is located in the Business Bay area, near key attractions such as the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall. You can go for a stroll around the network of canals surrounding this home – you can also see them from this apartment's private balcony. The kitchen here is small, we'd say, but it has everything you need to create some Emirati cuisine. There are an array of facilities to enjoy here, too – go for a swim in the temperature-controlled swimming pool, work out in the gym, or pamper yourself in the steam rooms and sauna.

Home truths:
*You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room, gardens and play area. They're shared with the building's other residents. *Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same. *This home is in a 30-storey apartment building near a main road, so you may hear some noise throughout your stay. *Beach towels aren't provided – you'll need to bring your own. *There's free parking here. You’ll probably want to use a car, get a cab or use public transport to get around, especially in the hotter months. *There are a few eateries nearby.
