In photos: Beachside villa in Umm Suqeim, Dubai for Dh800,000

Built in a Mediterannean style, the compound takes full advantage of its setting with balconies and a roof terrace that look out over the sea and surrounding neighbourhood.

The dining and living areas look out on to the private swimming pool and walled garden.

Each of the bedrooms has an en suite, marble-finished bathroom and walk-in closets.

The villa leads directly out onto the sand – rare in Dubai where there is normally a road separating residences from the actual beach.

Easy access onto Al Manara Road means you can quickly get to Sheikh Zayed Road and other main arteries.
