With Flying Colours

Just a five-minute walk away from The Dubai Mall, this high-rise home bases you in Business Bay – the city's corporate centre, filled with seafood restaurants and impressive skyscrapers. After a seven-minute stroll, you could be standing in front of the world-famous Burj Khalifa, or watching The Dubai Fountain dance. Forget that you're in the desert and follow the waterway down to Jumeirah Beach.

Handsomely decorated with a thoughtful layout inside, this top-floor studio apartment enjoys an elevated view over the Dubai Water Canal. Ideal for working travellers and solo adventurers, you'll wake up in a king-sized bed feeling well-rested. Freshen up in your marbled bathroom, then enjoy a Nespresso coffee at your work desk. Here, you'll benefit from a concierge service to help organise your itinerary, as well as free access to the resort facilities. Take a dip in the communal pool before hitting the on-site gym, then why not unwind in the sauna? In the evenings, your private balcony offers the perfect place to watch a sunset.
