Pearl Jumeirah, Jumeirah

Resting next to a lush green park, this eight-bed villa is on Jumeirah's prestigious Pearl Jumeirah island. Scheduled to be ready later this year, the 18,000 sq. ft home (the largest in the area) sits on a tranquil corner plot and is currently in a shell-and-core condition. With an attractive payment plan and price-per-square-foot, this residence will be a highly coveted address.

The villa enjoys a sleek, modern exterior that nevertheless has earthy colours inspired by the surrounding greenery. This blend of manmade and natural flows into the interiors via a striking atrium entry.

The interiors themselves are vast. A contemporary Scandinavian design is brought to life by brown and beige colours, elegantly panelled walls, exquisite glass chandeliers and marble wall splashes. A distinguished office with wooden finishes carries forward this sophisticated air, while the dining area revels in its mid-century aesthetic and golden lighting feature.

Adding to the light and carefree atmosphere is a state-of-the-art elevator.

The eight bedrooms, meanwhile, are refined sanctuaries with soft colours, high-end finishes, delicate wall patterns and a glamorous walk-in closet. Eight bathrooms accompany.

Residents can also unwind in private or entertain lavishly out on the terrace — a chic, wood-panelled haven with ample seating.

Pearl Jumeirah itself is one of Dubai's most sought after island escapes, and is home to both the Nikki Beach Resort & Spa and the Nikki Beach Restaurant & Beach Club.
