Elite Urban Escape

Well, where should we start with this home? Firstly, let's give a shout-out to its shared facilities. You’ll find lap pools, gyms, spas, a supermarket, a crèche and a clinic here. If you need to work from home, there’s high-speed internet and a well-equipped kitchen if you want to try your hand at some Emirati cuisine. There's a private balcony, too, for when you want to take advantage of the warm climate here. When you feel like exploring, there’s the nearby Dubai Canal Boardwalk, where you can view the city skyline – it’s particularly stunning at night when the vista is illuminated. Many of Dubai's other main attractions are a drive away, though, so you may need to hire a car or take cabs to get around.

Home truths:
*You'll have access to the on-site swimming pools, crèche, spa and gym. They're shared with the building's other residents.
*Given the apartment's location in a residential building, you may hear some noise here.
*Beach towels aren't provided – you'll need to bring your own.
*There's free covered parking here.
