With close to 1,000km of soft, sugary shoreline it’s no wonder that Dubai’s beaches are one of the main draws of this gleaming metropolis. Whether you want to curl up with a book in a quiet spot, build a giant sandcastle with your little ones, or drape yourself over a sun lounger while sipping something chilled, there’s a sandy spot to suit all sun worshippers.

And where better to soak up some rays than from the privacy of your own pristine beach, steps from your exclusive villa…
