Check out those views. Located close to the beach while still within touching distance of the city, this Dubai department is a sun-soaked base with sea and city views seen through its large windows. The balcony is a nice touch that lets you step out into the heat, and we were especially fond of the sleek main bedroom – although the view was slightly obscured in this room, you can still overlook the harbour here. Nearby you've got the usual plethora of shopping destinations and eateries, and the building itself has distractions in the form of a gym, pool, and kid's play area.
