Al Barsha is not as prolific an area of Dubai as Emirates Hills or the Palm, but this has in some ways worked to its advantage. As a bit of a ‘hidden gem’ of luxury living, the community contains a fantastic selection of premium villas, such as this home that is known as ‘The Resort Villa’.

With its cool contemporary façade and spacious open living spaces, it doesn’t take long to understand exactly how the villa got its name. Each room has the perfect combination of finishes, fabrics and materials to craft an experience that can best be described as ‘rejuvenating’.

The minimalist décor and clever use of interior space helps to put the mind at ease, as does the use of neutral colours. The kitchen is an especially unique space, with a stunning fusion of wood and marble. Floor-to-ceiling glass covers most of the outer walls on the ground floor, bringing in plenty of natural light and providing views across the gorgeous outdoor pool deck, which includes water features, an outdoor dining space and a gymnasium that could also serve as a pool house.

The post The Resort Villa – One of Dubai’s Finest Homes appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

If you consider yourself an avid skier, winter is the perfect time to hit the slopes. For some, a winter vacation involves heading off to a ski lodge and spending time on snowy peaks. Others prefer to head for warmer shores, especially in the Middle East and North Africa where the winter climate is especially temperate. This is prime beach season in that part of the world and there are quite a few spectacular beach resorts to choose from. The Four Seasons in Sharm El Sheikh is undoubtedly one of the finest and is easily on the top of our list.

Located on the southern tip of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh is a popular seaside town that attracts travelers from all over the world. The location is the key factor here, as Sharm El Sheikh sits directly between Africa and Asia, effectively serving as a bridge between East and West. Because of this, the area is home to a number of renowned global hospitality brands.

The Four Seasons at Sharm El Sheikh, which is the fourth Four Seasons property in Egypt, opened its doors in 2002 and has since grown to be the region’s most popular resort. Modeling itself after an Egyptian village, the Four Seasons combines a traditional architectural style with modern interior design. The resort offers 143 guest villas that are divided into clusters on a beautiful hilltop. Each villa features elaborate wooden screens and window detailing with a typically Middle Eastern design aesthetic. The furnishings are very contemporary, using a mix of neutral tones and bold hues to create a lovely sense of contrast. The villas also feature large decks and terraces, enjoying breathtaking views of the Red Sea’s glistening waters.

At present, the Four Seasons at Sharm El Sheikh is in the process of expanding, adding more hotel rooms and building on its beautiful collection of Private Residences. As part of the expansion, 25 villas and 44 chalets will be added to the resort, forming a private residential enclave. On completion, this will be the largest Four Seasons property in the world and LuxuryProperty.com is the exclusive global marketing partner for this project.

The resort has a strong emphasis on health and wellness and features a Daniela Steiner spa. Other key amenities include four swimming pools, fitness and recreational facilities, and nine restaurants offering a variety of cuisines. One of the most popular facilities at the resort is its PADI dive centre, where guests can learn the basics of scuba diving and can also schedule diving trips.

The town of Sharm El Sheikh is a key diving destination, offering more than 70 prime dive spots within a day’s boat ride from the coast. These include two shipwrecks from WWII and Ras Muhammad National Park, a marine reserve that is famous for its coral formations and diverse marine life. The Four Seasons also offers tours of the Sinai Desert, which stretches out from the outer boundaries of the resort, as well as barbecues and evening entertainment along the hotel’s private beach.

LuxuryProperty.com is a dynamic digital destination for all things real estate and has built a strong presence in the Middle East with its Dubai portfolio. The firm is already marketing high-end properties in areas such as Dubai Hills Estate, Palm Jumeirah and Emirates Hills, and the Four Seasons at Sharm El Sheikh will be an excellent addition to its ever-expanding international stock.

It’s at the center of the world

We’re not being narcissistic here. Dubai is very strategically located at the crossroads of the East and the West, providing easy and direct connections to key cities around the globe. For world travelers, this is a perfect bridge between countries and for businesses, the ideal nerve center from where you can expand your global footprint.

Safety & Security

Dubai is known as one of the world’s safest cities. The crime rate is low and has dropped even further in the past five years, and the legal system is efficient and well-regulated. Even amidst political turmoil in the larger region, Dubai has remained a safe place to live and raise a family.

Excellent ROI

Dubai has, in just a short time, become a major player in the global property and it shows in the yields that its properties deliver. Compared to many cosmopolitan cities around the world, such as New York, Singapore and London, Dubai offers returns averaging 6% and going into the double digits on certain properties.

No Property Tax

One of the biggest advantages to investing in Dubai real estate is that there is no property tax, and in fact the whole city is essentially tax-free. Although VAT was introduced earlier this year, it does not have a huge impact on costs, and residential property transactions are exempt from it anyway.

Investor-Friendly Initiatives

One of the biggest announcements to come out of Dubai this year is that investors into the city and professionals in technically skilled fields would be issued ten-year visas. This is a huge step up from the typical two-year visa that is granted to residents, and far exceeds the length of similar visas offered in many other countries. This move will help to build investor confidence and give them more security for their investment.

Investor-Friendly Regulations

This is just the latest in a solid framework of laws that have been put in place to protect the best interest of investors. The Dubai Land Department and its regulatory arm, the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) maintain a careful balance between the buyers and sellers in the property market, ensuring that developers and agents do not renege on their promises.

City of the Future

Dubai is constantly developing new ways to enhance the lives of its residents, whether through improvements in infrastructure or building new communities that have a strong focus on sustainable living. It is on the road to becoming the first ‘smart city’, is investing heavily in practical uses for AI, and has its very own Ministry of Happiness. It also continues to build on its architectural reputation with magnificent new projects such as the Dubai Creek Tower, which will overshadow the Burj Khalifa upon completion, and the Royal Atlantis, a resort and residential development that will soon dethrone the Atlantis Resort as the centerpiece of Palm Jumeirah.

Haven for tourists

Over the past decade, Dubai has attempted to tone down its glamorous image and build its reputation as a city where families would want to settle down. That doesn’t mean it has stopped catering to tourists, though. As home to the world’s tallest building (Burj Khalifa), the world’s largest man-made island (Palm Jumeirah) and the largest shopping mall (Dubai Mall), the city is always creating new and exciting experiences.

Feel right at home as you walk in through the three-lined entrance to the front lawn and charming water features in front of the house.

An internal area of over 10,000 sq ft includes a gorgeous double living room extending across one side of the villa.

The living room wraps around to a dining area and open kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame every part of the exterior so the ocean is all around you.

A gorgeous eat-in kitchen features beautiful minimalist design with contrasting cabinets and surfaces that pop against the white color scheme.

The upper floor contains a lovely family room set up in the style of a ‘majlis’, or traditional Arabian sitting room.

All four of the bedrooms are incredibly spacious, with private sitting areas, large wardrobes, elegant en-suite bathrooms and breathtaking panoramic views of the island and the sea.

Take a dip in the backyard swimming pool that spans the width of the villa or soak up some sun on the large patio/deck, which would also be the ideal place for a weekend barbecue.

The overhanging deck makes it feel like the villa is sitting on the ocean itself. Living in this villa is like being on a never-ending seaside vacation.

The post A Spectacular Villa In Abu Dhabi With The Ocean As Its Backyard appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The Palm began construction back in 2001, using over 100 million cubic meters of sand from the sea bed that were formed into the shape of a palm tree comprising a trunk and 17 palm fronds. While it took almost a decade for it to finally be completed, in no small part due to the sheer scale and complexity of the design, by 2007 it was already known as the largest artificial island in the world. Palm Jumeirah is divided primarily among five-star beach resorts and lavish oceanfront villas, making it one of the cornerstones of luxury in Dubai and a perfect emblem of the city’s vibrant lifestyle.

The main trunk of the Palm and the sweeping crescent that tops it off are some of the key leisure destinations on the island, dotted with five-star beach resorts such as the Kempinski Palm Hotel, The One & Only The Palm and Anantara The Palm. The Atlantis, which sits on the very apex of the crescent, has long been considered the island’s crowning jewel. In its aim to evoke the lost city of legend, the hotel offers a very regal sense of design, exceptional levels of service, the most spectacular ocean views and a variety of water-themed activities including an underwater aquarium and waterpark.

The Atlantis has also been seen as the main architectural highlight of the Palm, though a new contender is in the process of being built – The Royal Atlantis. Scheduled for completion in 2019, The Royal Atlantis is already making waves thanks to a bold architectural design that will be unlike anything else seen in the city. The stunning resort and residential project will also easily dwarf the Atlantis, standing twice as high at its peak.

Some of the most lavish residences in Dubai are also housed on Palm Jumeirah. From exclusive villa enclaves to incredible penthouses (including the most expensive penthouse sold in Dubai at just shy of $28 million), Palm Jumeirah has it all. It’s difficult to narrow down the best properties when you have such an excellent selection to choose from, but some of our top picks would have to be:

Alef Residences

A gorgeous residential building with a design inspired in part by a cruise ship and by the shape of rocks eroded by the ocean, Alef Residences offers 104 residences with individualized layouts, spread across eight wings known as ‘mansions.’ Each apartment and penthouse features flowing open interiors that combine with floor-to-ceiling windows so you can take in beautiful panoramic views of the sea and the city from the comfort of your living room, or even on your private terrace. The adjoining W Hotel grants residents of the Alef access to all of its five-star facilities, along with dedicated concierge service in each mansion.

Mediterranean Signature Villa

One of the most luxurious villa enclaves on the Palm is the Signature Villas. Many of the villas have been extensively upgraded and refurbished by their current owners, such as this magnificent Mediterranean-style home on Frond C. Spread over 9,000 square feet, the six-bedroom villa is immaculate in its design. The piece de resistance is a nearly 20-foot long custom-built aquarium that has been specially imported from the UK and installed in the main living room.

Palm Tip Villa

The villas located on Palm Jumeirah’s frond tips are the very height of exclusivity, accessible only by private roads branching off the main trunk of the island. This villa on the D tip boasts 46,000 square feet of internal space that includes 11 bedrooms, a 16-seater private theater, an industrial kitchen and a basement nightclub able to accommodate 200 people.

Contemporary Beachfront Mansion

This gorgeous seven-bedroom villa is on Frond J and has been custom-built. Spread over a built-up area of 18,000 square feet, the villa is set across three floors and is framed by floor-to-ceiling glass paneling. Each level opens out to landscaped terraces and the exterior space includes a lovely garden and an infinity pool that leads to a private beach.

This is but a small sampling of what you can expect on Palm Jumeirah, and several new projects are underway that will only add to the island’s beauty and to its status as the definitive home of luxury living in the UAE.

A cozy home office on the ground floor opens out to the spacious living room and dining room with a direct view of the gorgeous pool deck outside.

The Beachgoers

It goes without saying that Dubai is one of the world’s hottest beach destinations, no pun intended. Head over to the Instagram feed of anyone who recently visited Dubai, and there will be at least one picture with sun, sand and sea featured prominently.

Two of the oldest beaches are Kite Beach and Jumeirah Beach, populated by swimmers, jet skiers and amateur shutterbugs taking pictures of the sailboat-shaped Burj Al Arab. Though if you really want the best beach experiences Dubai has to offer, you’ll have to head a bit further west, where you will find the Jumeirah Beach Residence and the iconic man-made island, Palm Jumeirah, home to luxury beachfront villas.

The Sporty

Would you like to live a few steps away from your next tee time? With a selection of premium golf estate, which includes the very exclusive gated community of Emirates Hills, Dubai offers the perfect mix of luxury living and leisurely pursuits. All of these lovely estates feature golf courses designed by veterans of the sport, including Ernie Els, Greg Norman and Colin Montgomerie. Dubai is also the host of the Dubai Desert Classic and the season ending DP World Championship and Race to Dubai at Jumeirah Golf Estates, cementing Dubai’s global status as a golfing destination.

If equestrian sports are more your preference, you can seek out one of the lovely villa communities located near either of Dubai’s championship polo clubs, or a home close to the immense Meydan Racecourse, where annual Dubai World Cup racing event is held every March. And of course, there’s the World 7s Rugby in December, ATP Tour Tennis in February and a stellar sports lineup throughout the year.

The Urbanites

For many, life in the midst of a teeming metropolis is what luxury is all about. Nothing could be more relaxing than lounging in the spacious living room of a duplex penthouse in the evening while watching the glittering lights of the city spread out below. For those die-hard urbanites, there is Downtown Dubai.

The busiest commercial and retail center in the city, Downtown is the home of the world-famous Burj Khalifa as well as the world’s largest shopping mall, Dubai Mall, and the stunning Dubai Opera. It is also the site of many a skyscraper enjoying panoramic views of the city’s skyline.

Alternatively, you could head to Downtown’s neighboring district, Business Bay. Bisected by the Dubai Canal – the world’s longest man-made canal, of course – this has become one of the city’s most exciting waterfront destinations over the past year. You can get a home right by the water, or one with a view of the Burj Khalifa looming on the horizon.

The Families

What was once a tourist hub and a big draw for young singles has, over the years, transformed itself into one of the best cities in the world to raise a family. Dubai is dotted with a number of beautiful and tranquil residential communities featuring large houses with spacious yards, located a few minutes from the city’s top schools and hospitals.

Emirates Hills, as we’ve already mentioned, is pretty high up on the list. Also popular are Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah Golf Estates and the upcoming mega communities of Mohammed Bin Rashid City and Dubai Hills, which is split into several residential enclaves designed to appeal to the whole family.

The Music Lovers

What do Sting, Tom Jones, Drake, Chris Brown, Santana, John Legend, Mariah Carey, Duran Duran, Backstreet Boys, and Bebe Rexha have in common? They have all been part of the lineup at music festivals in Dubai. The two main events are the Dubai Jazz Festival in the spring and Red Fest DXB in the winter, which are weekend-long events. Other than that, there is always a major concert or two happening in the city that attracts top musical talent.

If your tastes run to the more classical, perhaps a night out at the Dubai Opera is what you need. The innovative opera house hosted one of the legendary Three Tenors on its grand opening, and regularly brings in the very best opera singers from around the world.

The Sailors

Since we started off on the beach, it’s only fair that we end in the water. Dubai is a haven for lovers of all things nautical. Dubai Marina, perhaps the most popular district in the city, is named for the large man-made yacht marina at its heart. There are boating and jet skiing races to enjoy off the city’s coastline, or you could simply enjoy a lovely dinner aboard a ‘dhow’, which is a traditional Arabian sailing vessel.

A major upcoming attraction is Dubai Harbour, which will house two massive cruise terminals and add to Dubai’s waterfront charm.
