Catch a glimpse of the Burj Khalifa from the private balcony of this sophisticated bolthole set beside the water's edge of Dubai's Business Bay district. It's a vista that's sure to impress when the lights of downtown flicker on. Inside, this modern apartment hits the spot with an elegant, neutral scheme running throughout. And you'll love the boutique-style bedroom, complete with direct balcony access to soak up the views with a morning coffee. But the clincher for us are the impressive amenities onsite. Bank a workout in the fitness centre, then cool off in the shared outdoor swimming pool. There's even an onsite mini-mart to stock up on essentials to rustle up a bite to eat. Though with so much within easy reach, we suspect you'll be eating out a lot. Keep things local in neighbouring D3 with its happening galleries, local designer showrooms, and unique gastronomy. Or hop over the river bound for Dubai's Mall with its thoroughfare of eateries – both are just a short drive away.
