Dubai

Luxhabitat is proud to present the most sought-after property on the Palm Jumeirah’s Frond M. Inspired by the beach, this two-story villa defines a new state of ocean living. Everything has a purpose. From floating steps designed for maximizing natural sunlight to neutral color schemes acting as a blank canvas for interior expression, the results are an aesthetic where architecture is at one with the landscape. A framed sculptural tree sits at the heart of the courtyard within a reflection pond that provides rippling water effects that filter through the inside space. Designed to give 120-degree views for infinite light experiences across the day and throughout the year, the most commanding spot on the frond is maximized at every opportunity but always with privacy in mind.
