Over the Trees and Far Away

Soak up the year-round Dubai sun in the shared pool or jacuzzi when you stay at this modern apartment. There’s a children’s pool and kid’s play area too, and lots of amenities, such as a gym, shops, restaurants and bars, so there’s plenty to do here. When you feel like exploring, the Dubai Mall is twenty-three minutes in the car, the Palm Jumeirah is thirty-five minutes, and the Burj Al Arab is a thirty-three-minute ride. Or relax on your private balcony and take in the views out over verdant trees. Inside, this spacious apartment is primed for entertaining. Rustle up some margoogat, an Emirati stew flavoured with tomato and turmeric and savour it at your dining table with its elegant orchid at the centre. We love that the bedrooms open out onto the balconies, too, perfect for the first cup of coffee of the day.
