There aren’t many places in the world that redefine the word “luxury” quite like Dubai does. City skyline views from gravity-defying skyscrapers, golden sands just steps from traditionally-designed villas and stylish interiors throughout are all a given when it comes to Airbnbs here, without even taking into consideration the private beaches, lavish designs and beautiful swimming pools. A trip to Dubai is certainly a one-of-a-kind adventure, and these incredible Airbnbs set the scene for a vacation you’ll never forget. Whether you’re looking for Burj Khalifa bedroom views or an island-esque paradise in the heart of the Palm, you’ll find it below in a round-up of our top spots.
