Two balconies overlooking Dubai Marina, a dazzling communal pool and a plethora of hotel-worthy amenities at your fingertips? It may sound too good to be true, but that's what's on offer at this fantastic apartment in one of Dubai's trendiest neighbourhoods. Wake up to skyrise views and pad out to the balcony to enjoy a cup of Arabic coffee in the morning light. Then it's off to the shared pool for a day spent lounging in the sunshine while kids let loose in the outdoor play area. Prefer to stay active while on holiday? Hit the gym for a blood-pumping workout, followed by a relaxing session in the steam room or a soak in the Jacuzzi. There's also an on-site squash court, games room, mini theatre and meeting rooms to keep you occupied. The apartment itself is the perfect place to wind down from your adventures. We love the pastel colour scheme, and the enormous windows make sure the scenery is at the forefront – not to mention they flood the living room with light. You can rustle up a meal to share around the marbled-top dining table. Or, why not take advantage of this excellent location and venture out for dinner? There's a slew of swanky restaurants to tempt you out, as well as fabulous shopping in the Dubai Marina Mall. You also can't forget to enjoy a beach day while you're in town – JBR Beach is a short stroll away.
