4-bedroom villas, apartments and penthouses in Dubai

4-bedroom penthouses and apartments in Dubai

A 4-bedroom penthouse or apartment sleeps around eight people, which makes it the natural choice for two families travelling together, a group of friends, or a business team in town for an exhibition. In Dubai most 4-bedroom holiday homes are penthouses or duplexes on the upper floors of Marina, JBR and Downtown towers, so they come with bigger terraces, double-height living rooms and, often, a private pool or jacuzzi. Booking one place instead of four hotel rooms keeps everyone together and is usually cheaper per person.

Where to find a 4-bedroom stay

Dubai Marina has the highest 4-bedroom penthouses, including duplexes in Princess Tower, Marina Gate and the Elite and Horizon towers, with views down the marina to the Palm. Downtown Dubai has 4-bedroom penthouses facing Burj Khalifa and the fountain, such as the Kensington and Royal Vista penthouses, ideal for New Year's Eve. JBR 4-bedrooms sit right on the beach. On Palm Jumeirah, 4-bedroom villas and beachfront penthouses give you a private pool and garden away from the crowds.

What you get in a 4-bedroom penthouse

• Four bedrooms, usually each with its own bathroom, plus a guest toilet.
• A large living and dining area that seats eight or more.
• A terrace or roof deck, often with a plunge pool, jacuzzi or barbecue.
• A maid's or assistant's room in many larger units.
• Access to the tower's shared pool, gym and parking.
