Fronds on the Beach

If you’re looking for a beachside break in Dubai, it doesn’t get any closer to the sand than this luxury villa. From the poolside terrace, it’s a barefoot pad down the stone steps and you're straight onto the soft sand, lapped by crystal shallows. Gaze across the bay at the iconic outline of the Atlantic Hotel. Or, take in the view from your private terrace, where a shaded day bed awaits and there’s dining for the group on the covered patio. Inside, the grand living room is all light and sunshine, thanks to big windows with a sea view. A second living area in the hallway allows the group to spread out. We love the jazzy, geometric-patterned dining chairs and the huge kitchen for big group meals. Bedrooms feel palatial with chandeliers and arched windows and the master’s ensuite comes with a glorious Jacuzzi tub. Home truths: *Dubai is a car-heavy city and this home have private parking in its garages *Your host can provide a cot for infants, just ask *Split over two levels and with steps to the beach, this home may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
