Dubai is full of impressive properties, but it's not often that you have the chance to stay in some of the city's most exclusive homes.

But thanks to websites like Airbnb, anyone can stay the night in a luxury Dubai home, and we might have just found one of the most impressive.

Located at the top of the city’s tallest residential tower, The Penthouse at 23 Marina really lives up to its name. The 3,994 square metre property is housed across three floors, and offers 360° panoramic views of the city thanks to its floor to ceiling windows.

The Penthouse boasts eight terraces, one of which houses one of the world's highest swimming pools, as well as three bars, a cigar lounge, nightclub, home cinema, six bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, and an industrial kitchen. The space also features a number of secret passageways, inspired by Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte who famously liked to blur the boundaries between reality and dreams.

The top level of The Penthouse sits on the tower’s 90th floor, and boasts a lounge big enough to accommodate 500 guests.  A stay at The Penthouse starts at Dh35,000 a night, and the property is currently being managed by Frank Porter, which takes on luxury short-term rentals and offers expertise in Airbnb management.

“We are extremely excited to be managing the most premium property for short-term rentals in the UAE,” says Anna Skigin, chief executive officer at Frank Porter. “This is an incredible opportunity for guests to stay in a truly unique and premium space. Staying here is truly once in a lifetime experience.”
