Shiny Skyscrapers

Take in the views of the Burj Khalifa as you cool off in this studio home's fabulous swimming pool. The shared facilities here are excellent – there's a gym with multiple weight rooms and a badminton court too.

To top all of this, this modern apartment has a wonderful view of Dubai's shiny skyscrapers from the private balcony. Enjoy them with a cold drink or savour an alfresco dinner here.

If you prefer to eat out, there's plenty of choice in this home's district, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), including global eateries such as Cipriani, Zuma and Amazonico. The Arts Club of Dubai, an outpost of the historical London private members' club, is a three-minute walk away, and this building is also attached to an iconic hotel, so you can take advantage of its restaurant and bar.
