As the city gears up for the back-to-school season, we take a look at four bespoke homes perfect for luxurious family living
This month marks the return of bright yellow buses, yawning but refreshed children and the inevitable hustle and bustle of school runs. To celebrate the back-to-school season, we present a selection of Dubai’s most refined, family friendly abodes. From an opulent mansion with breathtaking golf course views to a tranquil beachfront sanctuary nestled by lapping waves, this is Dubai at its most welcoming, most enticing and most carefree.
This state-of-the-art, 26,000 sq. ft. villa commands attention. It is embedded in a spectacular golf course that overlooks a tranquil lake and the singular Dubai skyline. With 7 en suite bedrooms, and on a 34,049 sq. ft. plot, this residence exudes laid-back luxury. The splendour of a Schindler private elevator is matched outside by the calming garden, infinity pool and sunken fire pit. A basement accommodates several cars. Further features include a delightful outdoor space, games room, study, state-of-the-art home automation and staff accommodation.
This 6-bedroom, 7000 sq. ft. villa offers carefree, Mediterranean-style luxury. Fully upgraded and furnished, it is on a 13,000 sq. ft. plot with direct beach access. The imposing residence boasts pristine interiors and high-end marble flooring, creating a luxurious yet easygoing air where residents float rather than walk. A striking staircase leads to the bedrooms, awash in trendy decor and awe-inspiring sea views. Outside, a pool entices. With personalised spaces to unwind in, this is the perfect family sanctuary, but one that also encourages fluidity and lively gatherings.
This two-in-one villa on a double plot offers a bespoke, resort vibe. Facing the entirety of the lush golf course and tranquil lake, this 5698.95 sq. ft. home is eminently spacious, with classically designed, sunlit interiors. The villa also features an enticing pool, calming garden and is located in a serene community home to numerous politicians and Bollywood celebrities. However, it is in close proximity to a host of Dubai’s most popular recreational options and boasts stellar community amenities including a golf clubhouse, pool and a verdant park.
