I love this place...

Anantara Dubai, Palm Jumeirah Resort & Spa Abdulla Bin Sulayem introduces us to Dubai’s newest luxury address Words by Grace Hyne; images by Nasir Rauf & supplied

There’s a buzz in the city’s real estate circles: Anantara Dubai, Palm Jumeirah Resort & Spa is coming to Dubai, and is set to be the city’s new luxury property hotspot.

Inspired by Anantara’s upmarket hideaway resorts found in the Maldives and Thailand, the development will boast an idyllic atmosphere and suitably indulgent amenities: from a 4,000 square foot state-of-the-art gym to an Anantara Spa, plus access to stunning lagoon pools, restaurants, and a private beach... Every day will feel like a holiday.

June 2013

Abdulla Bin Sulayem, CEO of Seven Tides, the Dubai-based real estate developer behind the development, says choosing Anantara to manage their dream resort was an easy choice. “We appreciated the other properties they manage around the world, and we knew they’d be the perfect operator for this hotel,” he explains, citing Anantara’s Kihavah development in the Maldives as one of the most beautiful resorts he has ever seen. An added benefit is the company’s current presence in the UAE. “One of the good things about Anantara is that their existing sales team

is already available here, which allows the buyer to feel more comfortable using them,” Abdulla says.

Set to become one of the best addresses on Palm Jumeirah’s eastern crescent, the development will feature six different types of homes, ranging from 1,120 square foot one-bedroom apartments to 1,990 square foot two-bedroom flats. Step inside and you’ll find en-suite bathrooms attached to cozy double bedrooms, granite countertops in state-of-the-art black chrome kitchens and expansive, sun-drenched terraces, complete with chic

lounge furniture, that allow you to drink in the incredible sights of Dubai’s coastline.

“We chose furniture company Touchwood to furnish the apartments, who have done most of the major hotels in Dubai, and we’re extremely happy with the quality they produce,” Abdulla says. For those who love to create their own space from scratch, however, the 14 penthouses have been left to their owners’ discretion. “From my experience,” Abdulla muses, “people have different tastes and the last thing we want to do is build something that will be torn apart. This gives them flexibility.”

Buyers also have a choice of what to do with their dream apartments, and whether they want a short or long term contract.

“They have the option to either live in it as their own apartment, or have a long term, one year or more lease that can go through any registered agent in Dubai,” Abdulla says. “Alternatively, they can have daily or short term leases but this has to go through Anantara’s rental pool, and they will manage it for them,” he explains further. This will allow the owner to earn an income from their apartment while still having the option of staying there during

the year. And with the housing market improving every day, as it stands the rental yield is expected to be between six and eight percent.

Perfect for families, Anantara Dubai, Palm Jumeirah Resort & Spa will provide a host of activities to keep the little ones entertained. With a children’s play area, a kids’ club, pool and a dedicated daycare centre, there will never be a dull moment.

While you tear up the tennis courts and gym or indulge in some spa time, your children will be in good hands. “Safety is one of the most important things for any June 2013

residential area − we’ll have lifeguards, and excellent security,” Abdulla says.

And as residents and hotel guests are allowed the same luxuries, in-room dining, cleaning, and laundry are all just a phone call away.

A mere 15 minutes from Sheikh Zayed Road, Anantara Dubai, Palm Jumeirah Resort & Spa is close to the likes of Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Marina Mall, while closer still, food haven Milk & Honey delivers groceries locally. Then, there are the resort restaurants: The Australian Grill House will serve up everything from kangaroo to seafood, while Mekong will take its pick from the cuisines of Vietnam, Thailand and China to offer diners a delectable choice.

‘A resort like this has never been built... being part of it will make the owner or tenant proud’ Anantara’s crowning glory in Abdulla’s opinion? It’s two-fold. “No matter where your apartment is located,” he says, “you’ll have a good view.” From one side, a stunning view of the glistening Marina; on the other, the iconic sights of the Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa piercing Dubai’s skyline. “Also, a resort like this has never been built before in the UAE, it’s different from any other project. Being part of that will make the owner or tenant proud to be part of this development.” seventides.com June 2013

Opportunity abounds to rent and buy across Palm Jumeirah.

Families will have their choice of multi-bedroom villas and low-rise apartments, with plenty of private and communal spaces to relax in, and singles and couples will love the choice of apartments, studios and small villas. The trunk of the Palm has 20 buildings of shoreline apartments while the 17 fronds are made up of two types of villas: the smaller Garden Home buildings and the seven bedroom Signature villas, and three to four bedroom town houses. For those searching for a life of luxury, you’re guaranteed to find it here.

There’s never a boring moment on the Palm. Everyone will love that the beach is a short stroll away (or less, for those who live right on it!) and there are plenty of beach clubs and eateries all over the island. Children will go crazy for Aquaventure, Dolphin Bay and The Lost Chambers at Atlantis, The Palm, while the adults can keep occupied in the residential areas’ various pools, gyms and sports courts.

Head to SensAsia Spa for one of their Asia-inspired signature massages, or pamper yourself at hair salon Ted Morgan. And don’t forget: JBR beach is just a short distance away, where waterskiing, sailing and even skydiving awaits.

Whatever your tastes, this island will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters: the abundance of top hotels means a decadent dinner is never far away.

Atlantis, The Palm has no fewer than 19 restaurants to its name: from renowned Japanese Nobu to authentic Lebanese dining at Levantine or Frevo, a Brazilian eatery. On the crescent, One&Only The Palm serves up cool eateries like Zest – a blend of Middle Eastern, Asian and Western influences – while the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray hotel plays host to global cuisine. For an evening in, rustle up dinner from one of the area’s supermarkets or gourmet grocery store Milk & Honey.

Palm Jumeirah is within easy reach of a number of schools which offer a variety of curricula: Kings’ School Dubai (04 348 3939), Wellington International (04 348 4999) and Star International School (04 348 3314) to name a few. Also close by, in Jumeirah, is Raffles World Academy which offers world class education (KG to Grade 12) for students and teachers drawn from over 100 different countries. In nearby Media City, you’ll find the Middle East’s first ISO-certified nursery, the British Orchard nursery (04 395 3570). Its teaching methods are underpinned by the motto ‘if I try, I can’, and it caters for kids aged six months to four years.

Market update

Independent Finance’s general manager Sam Wani reveals the latest movements in mortgages

Better Homes has announced it's hiring 150 new consultants over the next three quarters.

Not only will this increase the company's size by 50%, it's one of the largest job creation programmes in Dubai's real estate industry for 2013. This act is proof of a sustainable recovery in the property market.

Better Homes conducted a survey of 1,359 respondents to gauge their pre-disposition towards home owning, with the sample size representing a range of nationalities and neighbourhoods. The survey revealed some startling facts.

Of all the respondents surveyed, 83% termed Dubai as their home, even though a large number of them are expatriates.

This dispels the myth that the majority of Dubai's population is transient and there's little propensity to invest here. Only 12% own their homes while the

rest are renting, which is in stark contrast to other mega cities such as New York, London and Hong Kong where ownership can be as high as 75%.

58% of the respondents have considered buying a property in Dubai, as they want to save on high rental costs. The next best reason was investment: the 42% who wouldn't buy cited high prices and a perception of market instability.

When questioned on which developers would be favoured, a large number voted for Emaar.

As for accommodation, 74% found their properties to be good value. Dubai Marina was the most favoured destination to live in, with an 81% favourable vote. Traffic was the most frustrating aspect of living in Dubai, followed by parking and size of accommodation. 77% of respondents considered Dubai to be very safe.

Contrary to common belief, between Q2 2011 to Q1 2013 2-bed apartments rose more in value than 4-bed villas. The largest increase happened in JLT where a 2-bed apartment rose from an average of AED750,000 to AED1.4 million. In contrast, 4-bed villas on Palm Jumeirah rose from AED8.2 million to AED10.9 million.

Compared with other global property destinations, Dubai is considered the cheapest.

While Hong Kong is priced at AED80,000 per square metre, London is AED64,000 and Mumbai is AED48,000. In contrast, Dubai is AED12,000 per square metre.

In terms of rental yields Dubai is the best, with 6.65%. New York is 4.71%, London 3.6%, Singapore 2.8% and Mumbai 2.64%. What's more, the zero tax regime makes Dubai's market even more attractive.

Business Bay and Downtown Dubai are finally being linked with roads, with very easy access to Dubai Mall, Muhammad bin Rashid boulevard, and Dubai Fountains.

Unlike Downtown, Business Bay is an affordable option. Bargain hunters can buy for as low as AED1,200 per sq.ft. and enjoy close proximity to Burj Khalifa. Prices have increased by 20% this year, and they are expected to keep on growing.

Many projects that were stalled during the crisis are now restarting, and the area is seeing improvements in infrastructure and retail options.

The art of open-plan living Dubai’s open-plan living quarters can feel stark and impersonal – here’s how to make the space work for your home The city’s villas and apartments are known for their flexible living areas, but all of that space can be daunting – and open-plan life can be fraught with issues: lack of privacy and warmth, lingering cooking smells, and an echoey impersonal ambiance. Luckily, help is at hand. Sharon Conneely-Donaldson, a local design consultant and tutor, is experienced in tackling such problems: her 5 clever tips will help you create your dream open-plan home...

Divide and conquer To create zones of privacy within an open plan area, divide up the space according to its function. This can be flexible to suit your lifestyle: decide your priorities, and design the space around them: for example, if you use your living room a lot but never have large, formal dinners, build a casual breakfast bar in the kitchen for dining instead. Then, you can use the space that a dining table would have taken up for an extra sofa or library area in the living room.

Screens up To divide up spaces effectively, some form of physical screening to create a barrier can be helpful. Anything from kitchen island units, low height walls or bookshelves to console tables, planters, fireplaces and sofas are useful. Make note of the orientation of the furniture as that is important too. For example, a large three-seater sofa could have its back to a dining table and chairs in order to achieve privacy in both the dining and living spaces. If you’re wary of committing to a design, consider using portable furniture – such as units on castors or ottomans – which is easy to move and allows for different arrangements.

Fantastic flooring Another way of visually breaking up spaces is to use a variety of flooring materials.

Wood flooring can be used in the living or dining spaces, with a loose rug adding a homely touch in the living room, while the kitchen could have a stone floor. In this way, the zones are defined but without the use of physical barriers. You may also want to consider split-level layouts such as a raised living room which is accessed by one or two steps.

Sky high

‘To create an intimate, cozy setting, the ceiling can have split levels with different shapes, features, and materials’

Varied ceiling levels are also useful in defining zones. To create an intimate, cozy setting, the ceiling can be dropped, or have split levels with different shapes, features and materials.

For a striking Middle Eastern look, decorative mashrabiya wooden panels can be fixed to a ceiling. To enhance the look further, back-lit coloured acrylic behind mashrabiya panels with a decorative cut allows the light to shine through.

Pendant lights can also be used to punctuate a zone when placed over a dining table.

Wonder wall Wall cladding or paint works wonders for visually defining a space, for example simply painting a feature wall a striking colour to differentiate it from other areas. Other ways of creating the same effect include textured or patterned wall coverings, plaster finishes such as Armourcoat (armourcoat.com) or stone cladding. For a bold, striking graphic wallpaper with funky, edgy designs, try Mr Perswall (mrperswall-gcc.com).

Natural minimalism

TEKA

Easy living For those who love uncluttered, sleek environs, and live a busy, modern lifestyle, this kitchen from TEKA (above, teka.com) pulls its weight. The oven range boasts a patented Hydroclean system that steamcleans itself in under 24 minutes – dinner party aftermaths have never been so easy to fix. This kitchen’s use of the latest technology not only helps to save energy

June 2013

but also ensures you cook better: TEKA’s energy-efficient hobs recognise a pan’s size and diameter, reducing the risk of burning. Bring in colour with accessories, from pretty flowers to funky mug holders, while using the many storage spaces to keep surfaces clean and uncluttered.

Hard-wearing and timeless, this technology is perfect for busy professionals.

With elegance and class, this woody design from KITCHENS & beyond (above, kitchenbeyond.com) exudes comfort and style. From the walnut and ash heartwood to the lacquered natural shades of the worktops, nature lovers will love this kitchen. With black glass cupboards and chrome finishings, fuss is kept to a minimum, and sleek standalone worktops and ceiling spotlights free up space – and can be switched off to create a more inimate mood for dining. Choose neutralcoloured accessories for a look that won’t date, bring in green plants to compliment the earthy woods, and store pots and pans in the many cupboards and drawers available. Ambitious chefs will love the space and freedom that this kitchen provides.

Modern designs If you like to redecorate on a whim, mix and match your kitchen’s colours to create a bright space: with this innovative design from SieMatic (right, siematic-uae.com), you can keep the décor flexible. The handles and doors are available in seven different shades, so you can update the room without a major overhaul. Brighten up a white, neutral space with spring green handles and cabinets to bring a fun, whimsical feel to the room. Even the shelves are available in gloss or lacquered accents, meeting the demands of the pickiest personalities. And with its easyto-clean surfaces, tough stains and sticky spills are a thing of the past. Simple yet stylish, handy storage opportunities are everywhere: place favourite cookbooks or spice racks on colourful shelves, and get creative with the layout too.

‘Bring in colour with bright accessories, from pretty flowers to funky mug holders, while using storage spaces to keep surfaces clean and uncluttered’ Fine dining In a home where dinner is a large family affair, this kitchen from Nolte (left, nolteme.com) provides the perfect place to cook up a storm. From its high gloss real lacquer finish to its modern functionality, this is a very classy act. During dinner parties it comes up trumps too: eat appetisers around the elegant island while the main dish sizzles in the oven. There’s plenty of nifty storage space, so you can skip the clutter and use a decorative bowl or fresh flowers to bring those homely touches. With its sapphire blue ice granite tops, fitted dish and utensil racks and conveniently placed shelves, everything is a small reach away without sacrificing on style, perfect for preparing quick and healthy meals on those busy week nights. For quiet nights in, the space is easily converted: some sensitive lighting will create a romantic dinner setting for two.

Ask the experts Practical solutions for domestic dilemmas

“This is our first summer here, and we’re concerned about the effect that indoors living will have on our kids’ health. How can we prepare our home for the heat?”

- Derek, Arabian Ranches PURIFY YOUR AIR Amit Herekar, commercial manager at Amancorp

PROOF YOUR HOME Roshani Sankhe, Customer Services Manager at MPLUS+

“The major airborne pollutants that affect people in this region are everything from dust mite allergens, mould spores, and pollen to secondhand smoke, pest allergens and pet dander. Airfree uses patented TSS technology which uses heat sterilisation to remove common airborne allergens – it’s one of the few technologies that actually kills viruses that pass through the air purifier.

Available in more than 120 outlets in the UAE it has become one of the most widely-available air purifiers. Our products are stocked in all leading pharmacies, and children’s retailers like BabyShop and DubaiBabies. Families are our number one satisfied customers after our commercial clients, especially with our unique model BabyAir, made specially for babies’ bedrooms.

Babies are suspectable to the ill effects of airborne viruses due to their developing immune system. Unlike other brands which have a high recurring cost, primarily to replace parts, filters and chemicals, Airfree is the only brand in the market to be entirely maintenance free, with no cleaning required. Place the purifier in bedrooms and living rooms for optimum impact.” airfree.ae

“Summer is an incredibly busy period for us and we recommend that all UAE residents book in a servicing for their home before the temperatures soar. With temperatures reaching 50°C, we have an immense volume of customers experiencing serious issues with their cooling systems. MPLUS+ offers a wide variety of services including electrical, plumbing, and water tank cleaning.

Additional services include cleaning services, masonry, and swimming pool and garden maintenance, especially important during the hot summer months. We offer this all at a great price: our monthly package starts from only AED59 per month in Dubai.

If there’s a damp or dusty smell in the air from your air conditioning units, you must schedule a service. It improves the air quality in your home by removing the dust and bacteria that builds up in the system, and also helps to prevent breakdowns – something you really don’t need when the temperature rises. Also, another tip is switch off your water heater in the summer: many households with outdoor water tanks won’t need it at all as the water will be heated by the sun directly.” mplus.ae

My style

5 of the best... mirrors

Essential interiors inspiration – whatever your taste My favourite place in my home is the gazebo at the edge of our garden, overlooking the ocean: the serenity of the surroundings help me unwind.

As a family we spend quality time together there and, on my own, I listen to music and read my favourite books.

Khurshid vaKil The co-founder & executive director of Marina Home

home décor is a combination of instincts and a reflection of your personality. I’m a fan of modern classic decoration. I’m very fond of leather: it provides an elegance and grace that’s unmatched. I don’t like bright colours: I like toned down mellow, pastel colours that are appealing to the eye.

No home should be without accent pieces. They create a lot of character and will help homes look more elegant.

I have a very large chandelier that is positioned above my dining table that becomes the ‘hero’ of the room.

My home is warm, yet stylish.

It has a fresh appeal and isn’t cluttered. Every room or common space has its own

This month, we’re reflecting on the funky designs at Indigo Living...

‘I believe in individuality...

I don’t follow trends, I do things my own way’ feel yet blends with an overall theme: modern classic. Homes aren’t showrooms, they have to have soul. Add character through things like accessories, linen, or the right kind of lighting or flooring.

One of my favourite pieces is my bedside table that I purchased when I redecorated my bedroom a couple of months ago. It’s unconventional in design and colour. marinagulf.com

i believe in individuality and the unconventional. I don’t necessarily follow trends and do what most people would do, I do things my own way. I try to create a certain aura in my house, based on my own tastes and experiences from travelling around the world.

Eco-friendly shopping with bags of style...

Brighten up a mundane trip to the supermarket, and help out the planet while you do, with the new Trolley Dolly grocery bag from Harvest Home. Equipped with reusable bags and decorated in a pretty paisley pattern, these will enliven any walk down the grocery aisle when doing the weekly food shop or will come in handy while browsing the delicious produce on offer at outdoor markets. Not only will they not split, these eco-friendly bags eliminate the need to use plastic carriers: this is one accessory you won’t have to feel guilty about buying. harvesthomegroup.com
