The Gulf Between Us

Right in the glitz and glam of Dubai’s JBR area, this apartment is in the entertainment epicentre. The famous JBR beach is just a two-minute stroll away and promenade walks along Dubai Marina are the perfect way to start the day. The skyscrapers and shopping malls here are awash with fine-dining restaurants, luxury shops and activities from skydiving to waterparks.

Inside, the apartment is colourful as a Jackson Pollock painting with modern artworks sitting against gallery-white walls and a striking turquoise sofa in the centre of the living room. A pristine white desk and office chair provide a stylish spot to work remotely and the sleek breakfast bar is made for morning espressos. Wait til you see the view from the bedroom; right out to the turquoise Arabian Gulf and caster-sugar sand.
