Imagine azure waters and bone-white sands set within a desert landscape – no, it's not a mirage– it's the Dubai location of this stylish home. It's a fifteen-minute drive to La Mer Beach – its shores lapped by the warm waters of the Persian Gulf. Or downtown is a seven-minute ride, while stunning Dubai Marina and Dubai Marina Mall are just over twenty minutes away. You don't have to go anywhere, though, to admire one of Dubai's most captivating landmarks – the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, can be seen from your private balcony. Inside, we love the shimmering floor-to-ceiling windows, which offer yet more vistas of the skyline. If you can tear yourself away from this gorgeous apartment, there's a wonderful outdoor pool to cool off in, or if you're feeling energetic, clock up some miles on the exercise bikes in the gym or do some laps on the outdoor running track. This place has it all – even free, private parking.
