Secret Affair

The world’s jet-setting beau monde has a new clandestine hideaway to call home in Dubai. Incorporating Arabian luxury into an avant-garde aesthetic is the newly launched Desert Palm Per Aquum’s Villa Layali. Just 15 minutes away from the towering spires of Downtown Dubai, the three-bedroom 845-sq-m villa is nestled within a verdant oasis. Exclusivity and intimacy reign supreme here, right from the villa’s complimentary limousine transfer service. Guests access the grounds via a private entrance and are promised indulgent respite in this modern riad-esque sanctuary, with multifarious amenities that include a well equipped kitchen and a buggy for personal use. peraquum.com
