Arabian Ranches

Inspired by the Emirati love of all things equestrian, this development uses a stunning combination of desert backdrops and luxury residencies to create a relaxing oasis-like ambience. With villas and townhouses overlooking the polo club and golf course Arabian Ranches provides a delightful alternative to the hustle and bustle of city life complete with its own picturesque town centre which comes with a full selection of retail and leisure amenities.

Burj Khalifa Dubai

In Dubai, one-upmanship is a game that is played to win so when The Burj Khalifa claimed the world's tallest building crown last year it came as no surprise that it did so with such an unprecedented flourish. Inspired by the delicate grace of the Hymenocallis flower which blooms in the region and traditional Islamic architecture, it is a feat of both engineering and aesthetics and is being hailed as a modern masterpiece. More than just an amazing record breaker The Khalifa is a symbol of Dubai's highest aspirations with no expense spared so as to set a standard in a city that loves nothing more than setting new standards.

Business Bay

Nearly a quarter of a million people will eventually live and work along this tributary of Dubai Creek making up a combined residential and financial district set to rival those of New York, London and Tokyo. Celebrated architects such as Zara Hadid have pulled out all the stops in order to create a breathtakingly bold cityscape designed to draw the cream of overseas investment. One main talking point will be the 108 storey Burj Al Alam building which will contain in its final 30 floors the world's highest hotel and be serviced throughout by double-decker elevators.

Downtown Burj Dubai

Unlike most capital cities which have layers of history and architecture, Dubai's infrastructure was developed in the last few decades and this incredible feat of town planning reaches its climax in The Burj Khalifa and its surrounding downtown district. Here in an area no bigger than 0.5 sq km, each new building vies for supremacy through style, scale or sheer splendor but the superlative sapping Khalifa maintains bragging rights at the moment by dint of being by the tallest building on the planet by some margin indeed Bedouin tribesmen can see its spire 100km away. The world's largest shopping centre in the form of The Dubai Mall is also located nearby as the city continues its mission to write its own unique chapter into the Guinness Book of Records.

Dubai Internationall Business Centre

The DIFC as it is called is where a bullish young stock exchange is busily forging Dubai into a fully fledged onshore capital market and middle-eastern financial hub. A calculated but daring spirit of adventure coupled with an open transparency to foreign investment has paid off handsomely and this is reflected in the attitude of all who work here. As bankers jostle for early morning coffee at Caribou or grab lunch at The Noodle Bar, there is a distinct energy and optimism that only comes when big money deals are being energetically struck.

Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina is a chic, comparatively new development that has created quite a stir and is yet another notch on Dubai's belt of world records being as it is the world's largest man-made marina. Towering above the pretty, yacht-speckled waterfront is Grosvenor House, one of the most sophisticated hotels in Dubai, along with luxury homes and a pedestrian area that incorporates fountains, waterfront walkways and a popular weekend market. There is a well-heeled yet laid back ambience about this district that is popular with expats, locals and tourists alike as Dubai's city-within-a-city easily achieves the same eclectic waterfront buzz one finds in cities such as Sydney or Vancouver.

Take to the water as night falls and this mini city of skyscrapers presents dazzling tableaux of light that reflects off the waters of the Gulf so as to create a truly memorable experience to even the most seasoned traveller.

The area - also known as New Dubai, with its unique combination of canals and high-rise dwellings throws down a futuristic gauntlet to town planners the world over and has unsurprisingly become a magnet to discerning individuals for whom this mode of living is the way forward.

Emirates Hills

Distinguished as the first group of freehold developments to be sold in the city of Dubai, Emirates Hills was also the only project at that time, where the properties were sold per square foot to customers to build the house of their choice. This enabled buyers to get a property that matched their own unique taste.

Set slightly back from the seafront, this is the ultimate residential location for individuals for whom space, luxury and privacy are paramount. An exclusive, gated community, it features man-made lakes, beautiful landscaping and 24-hour security, making it the perfect environment for families.

Commonly referred to as the Beverly Hills of Dubai, Emirate Hills does not suffer at all by comparison with each villa property offering an unrivalled level of luxury, complete with private pools and views of the internationally renowned Montgomerie Championship Golf Course which as the name suggests was personally designed by none other than the champion golfer Colin Montgomerie.

Residents of the Emirates Hills villas also benefit from the facilities of the other Emirates Living projects such as The Meadows, The Lakes and The Springs, with shops, schools and cafes situated amongst the lakes and quiet streets that really capture community living at its tranquil best.

Jumeirah Beach

As a result of Dubai's stunning economic miracle, what was once a quiet sandy stretch of coastline has become a fashionable area of five star resorts, designer shopping malls, high-rise developments and expat villas. Jumeirah Road (also known as Beach Road) is it's immaculate palm-fringed main thoroughfare, sporting such attractions as Wild Wadi Water Park and the startlingly beautiful Jumeirah Mosque, truly a modern architectural masterpiece. Residential neighbourhoods such as Umm Suqeim and Al Sufouh are decidedly upscale, consisting of multi-million dollar super villas complete with their attendant landscaped grounds, pools and ten-car garages.

However the beach is where superlatives really start to run dry as the sail-shaped, Burj-A-Arab and the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach hotels preside over a string of award winning resorts which are strung like pearls between them. With so many 5 star venues in evidence, the dining and nightlife is as varied as it is spectacular, reflecting that quintessential Dubai mix of fun and style.

Jumeirah Beach Residences

A luxury beach residence with self-contained 5 star amenities is one thing but one which is smack in the middle of one of the world's premier hotel strips and just 15 mins from the city centre is quite another. At the Jumeirah Beach Residence, the beach is literally just outside your front door and any number of exciting activities beckon daily. Whether you care to windsurf on your lunch-break or go snorkeling before doing the school run, living here affords you a lifestyle that is truly the stuff that dreams are made of.

Jumeirah Lake Towers

Taking its cue from the nearby Dubai Marina, Jumeriah Lake Towers combines high rise luxury living with an ambitious man-made maritime theme. The difference is that the focal point takes the form of four massive artificial lakes around which its 87 towers are grouped in scenic clusters of three. Occupying its very own island at the centre of the community is the Al Mas ("The Diamond") Tower which unsurprisingly for this part of the world, houses the Dubai Diamond Exchange.

Old Town

Just opposite the mighty Burj Khalifa, a beautiful lake has been created where there was once only sand. In the middle is an island ironically called Old Town although it is obviously brand new and features an attractive residential area with market squares, waterfront restaurants and traditional Arabian architecture. The Souk Al Bahar is a series of culturally sympathetic shops which together with the five star Palace Hotel attracts a discerning yet glamorous clientele intent on sampling a taste of Emirati tradition without leaving the city centre.

Tecom

Encompassing the existing internet and media cities just off the Sheikh Zayed Road, TECOM serves as a centre of excellence concerned with the development of new technologies, media, and scientific research and in the course of this offering an unparalleled commercial and residential lifestyle in the heart of new Dubai.

A forward-thinking organization from its very inception, TECOM has created clusters of technological, intellectual and media excellence throughout Dubai and beyond. These take the form of vibrant, connected learning communities designed to give media businesses the freedom to create. The result is a "city within the city" where ideas flow transparently and without barriers, a global shop window for media business, creative talent and international corporations.

An example of this visionary future is River Walk, a pedestrianised, 5 million square foot space incorporating flowing waterways, residential apartments, offices, shops, galleries, cafes and an international business hotel, all put together in an eye-catching venetian style layout.

The Meadows

Green and peaceful as the name suggests The Meadows finds distinctively designed and roomy villas set in a lush and leafy environment near to the exclusive Emirates Hills district. Amenities at The Meadows include parks and water features, recreational facilities, swimming pools, children's play area, nurseries, shopping centers, restaurants, cafes and 24-hour security. Manicured gardens set back from beautiful streets lend an air of gentle enchantment which is bound to sooth even the most demanding of residents.

The Palm Jumeirah

Dubai's waterfront property is so sought after, they are creating miles more of it through offshore developments of man-made islands. The largest and most famous of these is The Palm Jumeirah, an extravagant fantasy island in the shape of a palm frond, stretching out into the Arabian Gulf's shimmering waters. The Palm has attracted a celebrity following right from it's opening with a host of A-listers snapping up their share of paradise whilst the opening of the 46 hectare Atlantis resort has boosted Jumeirah's reputation as the fun zone of Dubai. Situated at the apex of the island, it's stand out features are a state-of-the-art dolphin "encounter zone", white knuckle water rides with 100 ft drops and a 3 million gallon marine habitat, containing 6,500 species of marine life.

An eight lane motorway connects the "trunk" of the palm to the mainland as does a futuristic, driverless monorail - the first in the middle east - with plans to link with the Dubai metro. Each of the sixteen palm "fronds" is a mile long and is designed in such a way that every development faces the sea, so it is of little wonder then, that canoeing has become a favourite pastime amongst residents.

As a heady combination of marine-themed adventure, 5 star amenities and luxurious accommodation, Palm Jumeirah stands unchallenged; a beacon of ground breaking energy, surpassing even the most visionary and ambitious of Dubai's enterprises to date.

The Springs

The Springs is an idyllic spot, tucked nicely away between the Emirates and Montgomerie Golf Clubs and takes advantage of the scenic waterways and lush landscaping that are part and parcel of such international-class golfing environments. With beautiful community areas and expansive swimming pools for each cluster of homes, this exclusive, gated community of elegant town homes surrounds residents with a host of amenities ranging from parks, nurseries, spas, gymnasiums and shopping arcades.

The Views

All along the prosperous, thriving corridor that follows the Sheikh Zayed Road, pocket developments rich in potential are springing up and The Views is a prime example. Dubai's Internet and Media Cities, Dubai Marina and the American University are all conveniently located just a few minutes drive away whilst pleasure seekers will revel in the districts close proximity to several golf clubs and numerous five-star beach hotels and restaurants. Exclusive amenities for residents include landscaped swimming pools, gymnasiums, mini sports courts and underground parking all arranged in an exquisite Riviera style setting.
