The annual rent for a five-bedroom villa on The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, is Dh380,000
Features
This 3,336-square-foot property is located in Palma Residences, a new community consisting of 102 villas on a private beach. This is a “Type B” villa, the largest of the properties on offer.
Pros
We love the balconies overlooking the beach. And although it doesn’t meld very well into the overall look of The Palm, we’re fans of the blue-and-white themed architecture, which has a Greek-island feel to it. You also get a good-sized stretch of lawn, which leads directly onto the beach, and access to a large community pool.
Cons
If we were being super picky, we’d prefer the wooden finishes in the bedrooms to be a bit darker. But that’s nit-picking.
They say
Breathtaking sea views.
We say
This new development makes beachside villa living on The Palm that little bit more accessible.

Red flags
- Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
- Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
- Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
- Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
- Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.

Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
