Dh320,000

Annual rent for a four-bedroom villa in Dubai

Features The 3,286-square-metre property is located in the Splendour Villas compound in Al Safa, Jumeirah.

Pros The two-storey property has been fully refurbished and has a private swimming pool and good-sized garden. Communal facilities include a gym, children's play area, sauna and steam rooms, as well as squash and tennis courts.

Cons This compound is specifically dedicated to families, so singles need not apply. There are also lots of road works and diversions in the area, because of the Dubai Canal project.

They say A prestigious address.

We say Villas in Jumeirah are always in high demand, and this compound is particularly attractive because of its extensive amenities. You'll have to be quick, though – we can't imagine that it'll be on the market for long.
