The Tall and the Tallest

In a town as ostentatious as Dubai, this home might come as a surprise – with its minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired interior, it provides the perfect spot to grab some rest in between forays into the city. You’ll never forget where you are with the awe-inspiring views, either – keep your curtains open at night and watch the city as it lights up, and take your morning coffee out onto the balcony and look out at the world’s tallest building. When you’ve got excess energy to burn off, head down to the gym, or do a backstroke in the outdoor pool so you can keep an eye on the skyline.

Once you can pull yourself away, take a stroll over to the Dubai Mall. Proof that Dubai doesn’t want for anything, you’ll find over a thousand shops to peruse and all manner of delicious eateries.
