Gourmet Coastal Getaway

Gourmet Coastal Getaway: Dubai

When you're looking for a prestigious address in Dubai, the Jumeirah neighbourhood hits the spot with its beachfront location (though key attractions such as the Dubai Fountain are a short ride away). There's private beach access as well as a marina and yacht club, and you'll find plenty of premium dining, shopping and entertainment opportunities, too. Of course, there's a shared swimming pool and gym here, or you can relax on your private terrace with a glass of wine. If you don't feel like eating out, there's a well-equipped kitchen for cooking some Emirati cuisine.

Home truths:
*You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool 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 parking here.
