Desert Pearl

It's easy to see the draw of this Dubai Marina bolthole packing panoramic vistas, sleek interiors and five-star shared amenities in equal measure. Perfect for those who like to find themselves in the centre of all the action, the buzzy terraced restaurants and cafes of the marina are moments from your door. Or, if the beach scene is more your vibe, happening JBR beach is just a short stroll away.

When it's time to put your feet up back at home, this swish service apartment is ready for you to move right in. Guests rave about its immaculate interiors, and it's easy to see why. Newly refurbished and flooded with natural daylight, this place is a joy to return home to. After a swim downstairs in the shared pool to beat the heat or workout in the communal gym, pad over to the sociable kitchen space to rustle up drinks and nibbles (the welcome hamper and supermarket downstairs can help with those). Then drop and flop outside on your vast private terrace and prepare to be dazzled by those next-level city skylines and sea views. It's a sight to behold any time of day, but perhaps most magical at night when the lights of this non-stop city spark on.
