On the Palm

Known for its luxury, it’s only fitting that you should spend your Dubai holiday in a home that may very well be a little palace. The beautiful Arabian architecture might be the very first thing you notice coming up to this home, but there’s far more than meets the eyes here. Choose any one of the bright bedrooms and return to it whenever you need a nap after an exhausting day out. The crisp colour palette, alongside the tiles and many gaping windows will make the space feel cool, functioning as a refuge whenever the sun gets a little too much. Another way to combat the heat, of course, is to take full advantage of the crystalline pool. Splash the day away, or paddle casually before returning to the sunlounger – or even better, the sunbed. Spend your day here with a cold drink and a novel, or take the steps down onto the private beach.

When you’re not dining alfresco, you might find yourself wandering the palm in search of food and you wouldn’t have to go far to find a handful of fine restaurants. Walk to most of them in under thirty minutes, or if you’re a on the hungry side, drive in under five. After, continue on to Dubai Marina Walk for waterfront views and a good bit of shopping.

Thrillseekers will be pleased to know that it isn’t just skydiving on the table here – drive seven minutes for to also enjoy snorkelling and diving experiences. With so many things to do, and luxury at your fingertips, this home caters to every type of holiday goer, no matter your idea of relaxation.
