5+ bedroom villas, apartments and penthouses in Dubai

5-bedroom penthouses and villas in Dubai

For groups of ten or more, multi-generation family trips and celebrations, a 5-bedroom villa or penthouse is the only way to keep everyone under one roof. In Dubai these are mostly beachfront villas on the Palm Jumeirah fronds, with private pools, gardens and their own stretch of beach, and a handful of very large penthouses at the top of Dubai Marina and Downtown towers. Some of the villas on this page have six or more bedrooms.

Palm Jumeirah villas

The fronds of the Palm are lined with Signature and Garden Home villas. A typical 5-bedroom villa has an open-plan living area facing a private pool, a garden that leads to a private beach, a full kitchen and a maid's room, with views across the water to the Dubai Marina skyline. They are quiet and private, but you will need taxis or a hire car to get around. Palm Jumeirah guide.

5-bedroom penthouses in the city

If you would rather be in the middle of things, the largest penthouses in Dubai Marina and Downtown have five or six bedrooms over two or three floors, with roof terraces, private pools and views of the sea or Burj Khalifa. They suit groups who want restaurants, nightlife and the metro on the doorstep. Dubai Marina guide · Downtown guide.

Before you book a large villa

• Check the security deposit: large villas often ask for one, refundable after checkout.
• Confirm the house rules on parties and visitors, which are strict in many Palm communities.
• Ask whether daily housekeeping, a chef or airport transfers can be added.
• Check whether the beach and pool are private or shared with neighbouring villas.
