First & Last

First & Last: Dubai

Looking straight out onto the Ain Dubai – the world's largest observation wheel, this vibrant apartment sits on Bluewaters Island. Only a two-minute stroll from Madame Tussauds, there's plenty to see and do on your doorstep. What's more, the family-favourite hotspot of the Jumeirah Beach Residence awaits just seven minutes away from here on foot.

Roll out of a king-sized bed each morning feeling fully rested, then walk into your colourful living space, where the open-plan layout is designed for conversation. At this well-lit dining table, you'll want to gather your loved ones for a Middle Eastern breakfast, as you discuss the day ahead over a cup of coffee. Of course, you could always stay on-site and spend your afternoon lounging around the communal pool or keeping fit on the basketball court. Perhaps you'll socialise in the barbecue area and try Arabian-style skewers for dinner. Later, we suggest returning to your private balcony to watch the sunset over the sparkling Persian Gulf.
