Some homes just make you slow down as soon as you walk in. That is what happened when I stepped into this five bedroom villa at XXII Carat on Palm Jumeirah. You kind of pause by the door because you can see sunlight pouring across the marble in the hallway and you almost want to take your time, just to look around and soak it in. There is this easy sense of calm that you get here, which is actually hard to find in Dubai. The first thing you notice is all that space. Honestly, with over thirteen thousand square feet inside, you feel like you could almost get lost in your own home. The ceilings stretch up high and the windows go floor to ceiling, so the light sweeps through everywhere. I stood by the windows for a minute or two and watched the sea shifting colours out past the glass and the skyline flickering as the day changed. You do not get that in many places. It really is the kind of view that never gets old. Every single room just seems to flow one into the next and the atmosphere feels warm but not overwhelming, even though it is undeniably grand. The kitchen stands out too. The Italian marble countertops are smooth under your fingers and they really make the space feel like a real kitchen, not just something for show. If you actually cook, or even if you just enjoy having friends over and ordering in, this feels right. The light bounces off the polished surfaces and you get this quiet little moment in the morning when you are making coffee and the world outside is waking up. Sometimes you almost forget your phone. Each of the five bedrooms opens to the views as well, either looking out over the Arabian Gulf or letting you spot Atlantis and the whole stretch of Palm Jumeirah below. If you like falling asleep with city lights in the distance, this could be for you. There are also five bathrooms and every one is different. Some feel like private spas, honestly. You get wide open showers, deep tubs you actually want to sink into and enough space that you never feel cramped. One thing that surprised me is that even though this home is unfurnished, it does not feel empty. The finishes are so detailed that even with just the light and the marble and those huge glass doors out to the balcony, there is this sense of personality waiting for someone to put their mark on it. Plus there is a maids room, tucked away, so day to day living feels a bit easier. It is the outside spaces that really do it for me though. Step out onto the balcony and you are above it all. Sometimes there is a gentle breeze and you can hear the faint sounds of the water below. People say Palm Jumeirah is a lifestyle and, honestly, it is true. From this spot you can head down to the private beach or one of the swimming pools whenever you feel like. You have the gym and spa around the corner, so looking after yourself just fits in with your routine. The clubhouse always has a bit of life, and if you are in the mood for dining out, you are never far from some of the best restaurants in Dubai. Security and concierge support are here at all hours. Parking is never a hassle. Kids are often seen biking in the evenings, and there is this little hum around the gardens as the sun drops. This is not just luxury, it is comfortable, lived in luxury. Sometimes you forget how close you are to the city because it feels like a real escape. Ask anything at all or pop in for a walkthrough if you like.
