Metallic Sky

Metallic Sky: Dubai

The views from this home are nothing short of spectacular. It sits in the financial district, perched on the thirty-sixth floor of the Index Tower and, from its floor-to-ceiling windows, boasts a breathtaking vantage point of Downtown's glitzy skyscrapers, the majestic Burj Khalifa and across Dubai's vast desert metropolis. It's beautifully equipped for couples and solo travellers and offers plenty of on-site amenities, including a swimming pool and fitness centre.

We love this home's minimalist design aesthetic. Echoing the splendour of its surroundings, the interior is spacious and contemporary, adorned with chic furnishings. The open-plan living space has all the bells and whistles for a want-for-nothing stay, including a fully-equipped kitchen, a spacious marble dining table and plenty of plush seating for kicking back in the AC. After restful slumbers in the sumptuously dressed bedroom, spend mornings roosted in the lounge, sipping coffee and admiring city views before a day of adventure. You couldn't ask for a better location, just a nine-minute drive from Downtown and a sixteen-minute drive from the coast.
