Jumeirah Jet-Set

Live the jet set life at this chic Palm Jumeirah apartment perched just seconds from the powder-white sands and with a private leafy terrace to boot.

Part of an exclusive serviced complex (naturally, this is Dubai living, after all), there are enough facilities onsite to rival any five-star hotel we know. Pad down to the shared and oh-so-stylish palm-fringed infinity pool. Or find yourself a spot along the sands of the private beach – the seafront club will keep the cocktails and shisha service flowing.

Rather up the ante and get active? Then book a water sports session down on the beach. Or bank a workout in the state-of-the-art shared gym followed by a spot of rejuvenation in the spa – you've earnt it. And there's always the Aquaventure Water Park and The Lost Chambers aquarium if you fancy a change of scene – both are set within The Palm.

When it's finally time to put your feet up back at the apartment, there's a home away from home feel that we love about this place. Vibrant textiles, houseplants and rattan accents bring a new world vibe to the light-filled living space – a refreshing change from the bling and sparkle synonymous with this city. And the icing on the cake? That shady veranda to savour morning coffees, evening sundowners and everything else in between.
