Palms of Glass

There's no surprise that this Dubai apartment is crisp and contemporary. It's located right by Palm Jumeirah, and alongside the waterfront views from the private balcony, residents of the building will also have exclusive access to a private beach – any closer to the sea and you'd be swimming in it. And speaking of, there's a communal pool here, too, plus a state-of-the-art gym, so you'll never worry about missing leg day. We'd say that ticks all of our boxes.

Home truths:
*The entrance to this building is shared with other guests – the gym and swimming pool are also shared *This is a central spot, so there’s a chance you may hear some noise *Although you won’t need a car in Dubai, there’s one free assigned parking spot on the premises if you plan on driving *You'll have the option to self check-in upon arrival *There’s a desk in the bedroom if you need to work from home *The kitchen is well-equipped but it’s on the smaller side
