Thank you for everything! The stay was great, even the booking of facilities/amenities in the complex was easy. Definitely recommend hiring a car during your stay in DH2, made everything much smoother. Grateful to Ibrahem for accommodating to early check in / late check out as best as he could 😊

Charming corner villa with private garden

TaraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We’ve stayed in quite a few airbnbs and I must say this was definitely our favourite yet! Roxanne and her husband Aziz have it down to a T! First of all, their house is amazing from the kitchen to the back garden, to the bathrooms and all the furnishings are just pristine! I could’ve sat in their back garden all day and not went anywhere else. Such zen! The way the house is positioned allows you to find shade beneath the trees and listen to the birds! Simply gorgeous. Such a dog friendly stay where we luckily got to bring our doxy lady to meet Roxanne and Aziz’ very precious Stevie! A memory that we will cherish as two doxys together will make any trip amazing! Thank you to both hosts for going above and beyond in communication and recommendations. We cannot wait to return and have another play date with Stevie! 🐾

Luxury Villa Kite Beach Garden & Pool 4 bedrooms

ScarlaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Villa Rose has been a wonderful place for my family to stay while we renovated our home. The unique French vibe has been a nice change from our usual style and we’ve enjoyed living so close to the beach. The house is quaint and the rooms are neat and tidy. The beds have been very comfortable and we have slept incredibly well here! The area is tops and close to all amenities, most importantly beaches, restaurants and grocery stores. Marie, the host, has been so kind and helpful and we have honestly really enjoyed her sweet villa. The area is quiet and a great place to work from too. I would recommend this villa to anyone who likes a little colour in their life and enjoys the spectacular Dubai beaches and restaurants! We’d definitely stay again if we ever needed to!

Lake View Villa Dubai Springs Beach House

CharlotteRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My family stayed 5 weeks in this beautiful home. The home has been recently renovated and felt very well kept and homely. Despite the summer heat we were able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and made use of the community swimming pools, playgrounds and lakeside walking paths. The house was extremely child friendly. Stefanie and her husband Mike were extremely wonderful hosts - welcoming and very responsive. We were grateful to also have the service of her housekeeper who was also great. All in all my family were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend. I would not be honest if I did not mention that there were some maintenance issues that cropped up during our stay like an AC leak and an issue with a fuse but Stefanie had these resolved very very quickly so we this not really impact our stay. Don’t walk, run! This is a wonderful base from which to explore Dubai. Thank you Stefanie!

Nice apartment in a great location. Lots of restaurants and activities nearby. Very close to the mall and a large supermarket. The coffee shop downstairs is a great spot for a quick meeting and the building staff are always helpful. The welcome board had all the information we needed and the host always responded promptly.

Stunning view Fountain Dubai Mall tunnel access

Anil Rating, 5 stars3 months ago
I stayed here for two weeks in August. The photos don't do justice to the views from the apartment, which at night are breathtaking. It was extremely helpful being attached to the Mall. There is a Waitrose 5 minutes walk (all indoors) and the Mall food court is 10 minutes walk. The Address hotel (to which you have access) has an outdoor bar with a/c so we were able to sit outside every evening in late August! There are loads of great options for dinner a 5-10 minute cab ride away. I'd recommend this as an all-season apartment. M was helpful and responsive.

Your guide to Dubai

All About Dubai

Dubai began as a small fishing village and eventually grew into one of the most dynamic metropolises in the United Arab Emirates. It’s a fascinating desert city, with a soaring modern skyline made up of some of the world’s tallest towers and some of the largest shopping malls on the planet. You’ll also find championship golf courses, gorgeous beaches, man-made islands, and even indoor ski slopes here.

It’s easy to focus on the hypermodern half of the city in all of its glitzy, air-conditioned glory, but don’t overlook Dubai’s historic Old Quarter where you can check out 19th-century architecture, browse the gold souk for jewelry, get a bite at one of the more traditional restaurants or tea houses, and visit the Dubai Museum that’s housed inside a fort from 1787. The exciting blend of ancient heritage and ahead-of-the-curve futurism is what makes Dubai so unique, and if you’d like to get a better feel for the city’s natural surroundings, you can head out on an excursion to the nearby desert.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Dubai

There’s really no way around it: Dubai — and the entire region surrounding it — is hot. After all, this is largely desert country, and the primary way to elude the heat is to stay indoors, whether you’re out exploring or at your apartment or condo rental in Dubai. This heat is why many of Dubai’s top attractions are indoors, with plenty of air conditioning to keep you comfortable. And while summertime temperatures average among the highest on the planet, the winter months are comparably mild, with plenty of comfortable daytime average temperatures and some pleasantly cool nights. Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims, gradually shifts its occurrence each calendar year, but if you’re visiting during this time, expect to find a different level of activity as religious practitioners observe traditions of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.


Top things to do in Dubai

Burj Khalifa

At 2,722 feet and rising 160 stories, the Burj Khalifa is not only one of the world’s tallest buildings, but it’s also one of the world’s tallest free-standing structures. There are three different observation decks where you can extend your visit: The lounge offers tea, baked goods, and champagne while the top two have fast elevator rides, telescopes, virtual reality experiences, and 360-degree observation decks.

Gold and Spice Souks

To experience the marketplace energy that’s fueled this part of the world for centuries, head out to the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk. Souks, or bazaars, represent the essence of trade in the same vein as they have for hundreds of years. Dubai’s Gold Souk is one of the legendary gold jewelry trading centers in the world, and the Spice Souk… well, you just have to go and smell for yourself.

Dubai Mall

Dubai is a shoppers’ paradise, and Dubai Mall is its epicenter. It ranks as one of the world’s largest indoor shopping centers, and you’ll need a highly detailed map to navigate it from end to end. There are more than 1,300 stores, boutiques, and shops here. And there are also countless entertainment and kid-friendly options, including an ice rink and a 22-screen cinema.
