Pearl of the Palm

This beachfront Dubai apartment has it all – a private balcony with space to dine alfresco, gorgeous views, beach access, and a communal resort-style swimming pool. Whether you're holidaying with family and friends or in the city for business, there's something for everyone. The well-equipped gym injects some practicality into your stay, while children will love the shared play area. We definitely think it's worth having a car here to see Dubai's best bits, and your host can provide a chauffeur for an additional fee for that extra touch of luxury.

Home truths:
*You'll be able to park for free in the on-premises car park. Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
*The swimming pool, gym, and kids' play area are shared with other residents of the building.
*The third bedroom is much smaller than the others and the bed is only accessible from one side.
*This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.
