The Palm Sky

If you’re in search of a top-notch location with impressive views over the Persian Gulf, make your way to this apartment overlooking Dubai’s Marina. Occupying a privileged spot on The Palm Jumeirah, it’s just a short stroll to the beach, while eclectic restaurants and upscale shops are all within easy driving distance. Not only are the communal pool, gym and spa perks, but the on-site bar parties are a real highlight of this spot. And nothing feels better than returning home to a sleek and contemporary space with a private balcony for one last drink overlooking the twinkling skyline.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*You'll have shared access to the on-site gym, spa, pool, beach and bar parties. The swimming pool isn't fenced, so you'll need to supervise little ones at all times.
*Your host can provide a cot for little ones for free when requested in advance.
*There's private parking on-site here.
