It’s no secret that Dubai is a bustling city that has something to offer even the most discerning travellers, expats and locals. Whether you’re a business professional or digital nomad visiting the city for work, or travelling with your family and on the hunt for a work-and-play balance, we’ve got you covered with the best monthly accommodation destinations and information! Learn more below.

Monthly accommodation for families and those flying solo

The cost of living in Dubai can be expensive for most, which is why the all-inclusive monthly stay deals offered by hotels and aparthotels in the city are such an attractive option! Families and single professionals can enjoy homely yet luxurious accommodation in Dubai when opting for a serviced apartment.

Here’s why:

  • Separate kitchenette and lounge area:



Avoid feeling cooped up in a tiny living space when you opt for serviced apartments that feature a separate kitchenette and lounge area. Not only does it give you all the creature comforts of home, but it also ensures that you get to enjoy a bigger living environment.

Many hotels featuring serviced apartments have built-in kitchenettes that are fully equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, stove and other amenities, making it perfect for preparing your own homemade meals and saving you money on dining out in the process! A separate lounge area is also ideal for enjoying some TV or family time or catching up with your current read.

  • Space, space, space:

As mentioned before, nothing is worse than living in what feels like a hole in the wall. Serviced apartments allow you to enjoy that apartment-like living style without cramping your style.

 

  • Enjoy the benefits of hotel facilities:

Gone are the days when you had to choose between a self-service apartment rental and luxury hotel accommodation. Serviced apartments give you the best of both worlds, allowing you to enjoy the privacy of your own space while giving you access to on-site hotel facilities like the gym, pool, sauna and steam rooms, games areas, restaurants, and more.

 

  • Less effort, more convenience:


Enjoy all the perks of the available services like daily room cleaning, 24-hour maintenance services, concierge and reception desk services, and more when you opt for serviced hotel apartments in Dubai.

 

Dubai’s best areas for work and play

It’s important to consider the location of your chosen accommodation to ensure you maintain a healthy balance of business, leisure and pleasure. Staying alone and wanting to explore Dubai outside of work? No problem. Living in Dubai with your family and need to be close to the office and exciting attractions nearby? Sure thing! You can strike a fine balance and rest assured in knowing that there’s something to suit all your requirements.

Keep in mind that, if you have a family, it may be more important to be located closer to your child’s school than near your place of work, especially if you get to enjoy flexible office hours or if you work from home. School drop-offs and pick-ups may prove to be a nightmare if you don’t live close by, with traffic during these times reaching peak conditions.

Your accommodation of choice should also be closely located to a metro station if you’ll be making use of Dubai’s speedy public transport infrastructure. Alternatively, make sure your hotel or serviced apartment has parking space available to you if you’ll be travelling the city with your own vehicle.

Here are our recommended areas located close to good schools, metro stations and exciting attractions for your dose of entertainment in the city:

  • Al Barsha:

This neighbourhood is located near some of the best schools that Dubai has to offer and is easily accessible via the 2 metro stations nearby. It also offers convenient access to attractions and business hubs like the Mall of the Emirates and Media City, plus places of worship and convenience stores.

 

  • Jumeirah Beach Residence & Dubai Marina:

JBR and Dubai Marina are two of the most popular areas in which to live if you’re after a blissful beachside living experience that gives you access to some of the city’s best leisure attractions! JBR and Dubai Marina are both closely located to good schools in the area, plus nearby metro stations and family-friendly/travel attractions for exploring.

 

  • Al Jaddaf:

Situated in the heart of Dubai, Al Jaddaf is ideal for families and visitors who are looking to reside nearby attractions that support a more active lifestyle. There are many outdoor activities in the area, with the location putting you within close reach of metro stations, Dubai’s business hub and great schools for the little ones.

 

  • Downtown Dubai:

A firm favourite for explorers and city dwellers, Downtown Dubai promises contemporary living that’s within close proximity to some of the city’s best attractions including the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain. If you don’t mind the regular hustle and bustle of city life, then this area is perfect for you (and your mini me’s, should you have any).
