What's up everyone?
So we have been given exclusive access
to tour this incredible home behind me.
One of the best architectural properties
here on the Palm Jumeirah.
We're on Front G, Billionaire's Row,
the most exclusive front.
I can't wait to show you guys around.
Let's start the tour.
♪ I just wanna call on you ♪
♪ Money just fall on you ♪
♪ Not a thing I won't do ♪
Starting from the exterior,
let's take a better look at this home.
So it was designed and built by Naga Architects
based here in Dubai.
And what an incredible presence
this home carries on this front.
Now the landscaping over here,
you can see they've got travertine
inset in the path here,
as well as an incredible amount of travertine
on the exterior of a property.
Very expensive.
Now over this side,
you can see the grass here.
They've actually gone for real grass
instead of astroturfing, which I love.
There's lots of plants throughout this home,
really bringing that jungle theme inside to the home.
We have six bedrooms over four floors,
lots to see today.
And then as we come up to the door,
I mean, wow, what an entrance.
Here we go.
Hey Matt, come on in.
Wow, this is an incredible entrance.
So how did that door open?
So I opened the door via this button on the wall.
Please show your face for recognition.
Oh, face for recognition,
which basically makes the door open automatically.
That's pretty cool.
And I remember as well,
you have a remote, right?
Yeah, you got a remote,
so you can do it,
say if you're sitting in the lounge
and you want somebody,
come on in, just open the door for them.
Wow, an incredible height,
seven meter high door,
12 meter high ceiling heights.
Shall I show them through this way?
Come on into the powder room firstly.
Got to show you inside here directly.
This space is amazing.
Have you ever seen a faucet detail like this?
I don't think we've ever seen that on the channel.
So wait for it.
I'll turn the tap on.
Pretty cool.
We've got the marble sink and flooring,
travertine on the walls.
Then straight across here,
we head into the study.
Now I'm going to take you over to this doorway here
because this access is straight out into the Zen garden,
more on that in a moment though.
We're going to take a full look outside.
This could be one of the six bedrooms
currently set out as an office.
They've got a different kind of layered travertine on here
with the LED lighting,
really bringing that to life,
an incredible finish.
And as we come into the en suite again,
travertine sink,
we've got the black sanitary wear
and a nice window outside.
So let's work our way back into the hallway.
So back in the entrance,
the travertine from outside
has seamlessly followed inside.
So you've got it on the walls
in this gorgeous sandy beachy color,
which really fits the theme of Dubai.
Got large glazing by the door,
which brings all the natural light in.
And then coming back here,
we have this incredible floating cantilevered staircase
with these cable handrails,
which are very unique.
The handrail on the left
is actually built into the travertine.
Now coming down this side,
on my left,
we have a Japanese inspired zen garden
and koi pond.
I love that.
Me too.
It's very cool,
the way they've brought the water through the home.
Obviously we've got the sea through there.
We're gonna go straight out,
private beach access.
Even got a keyhole design water feature.
I love how much thought has gone
into the build of this villa.
Can you see on the floor?
You guys might be able to see that.
The light is dancing on the travertine flooring
and that is actually due to the ripple effect.
So all the way up,
two levels of glazing,
there is water on the very top floor,
fresh water pumped from the ground
that creates that effect.
Also, there's a glass walkway above us,
but there's an even cooler glass feature in the kitchen.
Matt, do you wanna show them?
Let me show you,
come on through.
So we've talked about this being over four floors.
We have the basement down there.
As you can see,
I am now standing on a huge bit of glazing.
Kind of feels weird.
Would you be happy to have this in your kitchen?
What do you think, Summer?
I'm not sure I would stand on it today,
especially being the dress.
Yeah, so it is completely see-through.
It looks down to the wine wall
and everything down in the basement.
So it is a very unique feature
and it certainly makes for a lot of light down there.
Anyway, let's talk about the kitchen.
So we have the center island here
with the white porcelain finish.
The Bonfert Miele appliances here,
clever induction system built in here
so you don't have to have a big fan.
These chandeliers are very cool
because we learned earlier,
you can actually change the height of them
by simply pulling up and down as so
and then you touch the light to come on.
There's a few sets of them around here.
We have tons of storage space this side for the kitchen,
the fridge being over on the far end.
Secondary kitchen through this door.
Now this is where you'd have your chef working,
preparing your meals,
keep the show kitchen nice and minimal.
Lots of stuff here.
Siemens gas appliances,
door outside to the barbecue,
but we'll show you the full outdoor tour in a moment.
We're now gonna work our way out of this space
and get into the open plant area.
Summer, take it away.
We have yet another travertine wall,
but what makes this wall unique
is they've created insets within the travertine
to place ornaments.
I could definitely visualize
how I would style this space if I lived here.
Now moving on to the 10-seater dining table
with the same light fixtures above and the kitchen island
and then over to my favorite part of this villa,
which is the sliding doors,
which leads you out to the outdoor pool
and we are gonna head out there in a second.
The minimal tones continue through the living area.
So we've got nice cool colors here
on the fabric of the sofa,
speaker system in the ceiling,
recessed with LED lighting surrounding.
A feature wall with again, more travertine,
porcelain on there as well as a gas fireplace
and massive TV.
Now I'm gonna show you one of my favorite parts,
the Zen garden and show you just how easily
in and outdoor living flows effortlessly.
And here we are on the exterior.
Eight-seater dining table.
There's actually speakers in the ceiling
and these carry throughout the interior as well.
This is one of my favorite parts of the home,
the connection with water,
such a tranquil space to sit and enjoy your time.
And if we look up,
we can see more of the architectural profile of this home.
So much glazing and travertine on the exterior.
It's absolutely incredible.
This is bedroom six that we showed you at the start.
So you can access directly out of there onto the gardens.
Again, real grass here.
So nice to see.
Behind Tom, you have access to the front of the property
where we started the tour.
We're gonna continue back now.
You can look at some of the greenery,
beautiful landscaping.
Now here, an interesting point.
We have a horizontal window
that's just behind the fireplace
letting so much natural light in.
Let's go up a couple of steps
onto the main back garden area.
To my right, a sunken seating area,
nice fabric cushioning with travertine surround.
What a place to sit when the sun goes down
and enjoy those views.
What do you think, Summer?
How incredible is this?
I think this is my favorite part.
The swimming pool, the beach, the view.
I mean, you've got the Atlantis over there.
It's incredible.
I love this infinity pool.
The colors of the tiles, right?
Yeah, light blue.
Yeah, and it just flows.
When you're inside,
they've really got the colors of sand
to match the travertine
and then the pool matches the color of the sea.
So it really just allows your eyes
to continue and enjoy that view.
It kind of actually looks like sandy color blue,
sandy color blue.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
Honestly, it's absolutely incredible.
So I'm gonna now take you down
and show you what it's all about living here on the Palm.
So I'm gonna head down the travertine steps
with the LED light surrounding.
We have an outdoor shower here.
What a beautiful spot to take a shower.
Little access gate here.
And you join me on the beach right outside your villa.
How incredible is this to be able to walk out here
beyond the pool and have this literally as your backyard.
I mean, the view and the architectural profile
of the Atlantis residences
is one of the best in the world.
And you can literally head down here,
grab an e-foil, a kayak and enjoy that.
All right, let's head back up now.
Let's just take a moment though whilst we're here
to look at the rear of the property.
One of my favorite parts,
which we haven't shown you that is the very top floor
where we have yet another infinity pool.
I mean, it looks out of this world.
Let's keep exploring.
As we move back up the staircase,
there's one area out here I wanna show you guys.
So come on through.
We're about to go down there in a moment.
It's very cool, so stay tuned.
Over here, we have a couple of seats
accessed directly from the kitchen,
perhaps a nice place to come out for a coffee in the morning
or somewhere to enjoy your outdoor kitchen
with your barbecue here.
And then you have another access
to the front of the property from there.
If we look up, you can see a really interesting detail
and that is a big part of what affects the light.
And I'll explain more about that as we get inside.
But for now, we're gonna head down to the basement level
and show you the cinema and the gym.
Emerging from the outside to the in,
we have the travertine door here with a bathroom inside.
Vertical window, actually, for lots of natural light.
We're gonna go through the sliding doors
into your very own home gym.
This is a great space, actually.
Loads of room.
You've got techno gym equipment over this side,
the mirrors on the wall, speaker system,
and blue LED lighting.
But lots more room to add some stuff here,
so you have to let me know what you do with that area.
Now, I'm gonna go through this wall.
This is the wine or drinks wall
that we saw from the level above,
so the glazing looks directly down into here.
Pretty cool.
A quite unique feature.
Now, Tom, if you come on through,
we'll show everyone into the cinema room.
Hey, Matt, welcome into the cinema.
Thank you.
This looks very cozy.
Very cozy recliner chairs.
And I've also noticed these chairs have a USB port
to charge your phone.
And the cup holder has a cooling setting
and a light setting,
so your drink can stay cool while you watch a movie.
Nice.
I'm just gonna get super comfortable here.
Should we have a quick nap and a movie time?
This is lovely.
Two hours later.
Now we've seen the ground floor and the basement,
we're gonna take the elevator
and go check out the incredible bedrooms.
You ready?
Let's go.
Stepping outside of the elevator,
what I love about this one in particular
is it's completely see-through.
So as you travel up and down between the floor,
the glazing is there,
so you can see across to your villa.
And that's certainly a common theme within this villa,
all of the glazing.
So we have loads of natural light up here.
We're gonna explore that area some more.
But firstly, let me take you this way
into one of the bedrooms.
You have a seating area here,
access out onto the balcony.
The views are so amazing.
And come on through.
So this is one of six bedrooms.
Again, have the white porcelain finish here,
access out onto the balcony.
And let me show you through to the wardrobe section,
which is just here.
Now, interesting feature with this glazing,
you might think, oh, Matt, all that glass is great,
but I don't wanna be able to see into the bathroom.
Well, that is where you can simply tap this
and boom, it goes completely frosted
and unsee-through anymore.
This is a beautiful ensuite though,
worth stopping for a moment in
because of how unique this travertine sink is.
I mean, look at the exquisite detail on here.
The lines are very minimal.
We then have a bath here surrounded by travertine
and an amazing skylight above.
Okay, continuing this way,
walking into one of my favorite bedrooms.
And the reason for that
is all of this incredible greenery.
We have a jungle literally entering into your bedroom,
which I think is so important in Dubai.
Now, if you look up to the facade material used over there,
that is Mashariba
and it's essentially a lattice segment
part of the exterior wall,
which allows nice amounts of light to come in
and blocks the really harsh light.
So you get these really unique finishes inside.
And that finish actually dates back to the Ottoman times
in the Egyptian era, very interestingly.
Next bedroom, travertine surround again,
white porcelain access out onto the balcony,
similar to the last one.
The ensuite for this bedroom,
again, tons of natural light, but how amazing is this?
This is why it's my favorite room
because you're in the space
and it almost feels like you could be in Bali
with the jungle right next to your bathroom,
lots of mirror storage.
And again, you can just press one button
to frost this glass.
Continuing to explore, we have the staircase there
we talked about at the start.
Now this is super cool.
So another few massive planes of strong,
hopefully, glazing here.
And this is what makes the view
and the dancing sunlight down on the ground floor so amazing
because above me on the next level of glazing is the water.
And so again, you can look all the way down
and just makes the home flooded with natural light.
I wanna pause for a moment to show you the entrance.
We have this beautiful chandelier, very custom.
That's the front door there.
And Summer's now gonna show you the next.
We've got a few more bedrooms to see.
I'm gonna take you in this one.
This room has a really cool circular bed.
Don't actually see these very often.
A unique feature wall, which gives depth to the room.
And then they've utilized the entire wall
top to bottom for storage, which I gotta say I like.
And then my favorite part of this room
is actually the en suite.
So through here, you can maybe see in the reflection
of the mirrors, all the plants.
I'm obsessed with plants and I love how they've
interconnected the outside greenery with the inside.
Okay, now let's head to the other side of the hallway
and check out the next bedroom.
So a little bit different style in here with the red theme,
but the same feature wall as the other bedroom.
And then this en suite has glass walls.
If you come in here, Tom, look how cool the sink is
with the slanted, this reminds me of Kim Kardashian's house.
She's got a similar one to that.
And then again, so much natural light coming up,
coming down from up there.
And you can also change the glass to be frosted like that.
Now let's go up to the final floor and meet Matt up there.
Hey, welcome to the top floor.
I haven't actually been up here yet,
so do you wanna show me around?
Yeah, for sure.
So I just came out of the elevator.
You've got the stairs as well.
Now this is what we've been talking about
through quite a lot of the tour,
is the water, the fresh water that's pumped
all the way to the top of the building,
sits on top of the glazing here
and allows that shine to go all the way
through to the bottom.
You can actually see the light dancing,
even on the ground floor.
Wow, that is really cool.
Should we head into the bedroom?
Let's go.
Through the doorway here, this room is insane.
It has one very cool feature, which we're gonna show you.
Here it is.
So you essentially have an infinity pool
from your top principal bedroom.
I think what we should do to start with
is the best feature about this room
is all of this glazing, as you can see,
you can slide it all open
and then you have direct access to your plunge lap pool.
So if you open those ones, Summer.
Yeah.
I'll open these ones up, yeah?
I love how you can just jump straight into your pool,
cool down.
I think it's one of the coolest
principal bedroom designs I've seen.
Now, let's show you the rest of the space.
So we have the bedroom area here
with the white porcelain feature wall behind, beyond there.
And look at the size of this hallway.
So as we come down here, we have the glazing here.
You can see in more detail,
the Masha Ariba external finish.
So this is your wardrobe.
You've got tinted glass here,
loads and loads of cupboard space
and come on through to the en suite.
Wow.
The lighting in here is incredible.
Amazing, right?
It's such a tranquil space.
We have the big shower here, huge pieces of glazing.
You actually have views
across towards the Atlantis Resort there.
It's iconic.
They've also added an outdoor bath.
Outdoor bath and an outdoor shower up there.
Wow.
So the one thing about this house
that I think they've just mastered is the natural light.
Yeah.
I don't think I've seen a house
with more natural light than this.
Agreed, a hundred percent.
So why don't you now show us
the other outside area down there?
Yeah, let's go.
Let's finish the principal suite tour
with the outside section over here.
Come with me.
So you have an outdoor kitchen area,
a gorgeous seating cocoon
and then also you can step down into this sunken area
where you've got the view of the pool and the beach.
The sun is now setting, temperature is dropping.
This is a beautiful time to be here in Dubai.
Now I want to show you the garage.
We looked at this at the start, but not in detail.
So actually behind these tiles is the garage
and I'll open it up now for you.
So you can start to see how it's set within the wall.
Behind the door is space for two cars.
You'll have to let me know in the comments
your dream two car setup if you were to buy this villa.
Now let's head around the back
and see this place in golden hour.
Here we are, golden villa
in one of my favorite parts of the property,
the infinity pool.
The back of the property looks amazing at night.
It does look incredible.
I love the way on the second floor with the bedrooms,
they integrated the plants and the greenery
with the en-suites in the rooms.
And then on the top floor,
we had the pool that you could walk straight out of bed
and jump into.
Let us know down in the comments
what your favorite part of this house is.
We'll make sure to leave a couple of recommendations up here
for videos that you can go check out.
We actually toured a similar one not long ago
that was priced at a similar price to this one
over on a different front.
Yeah, so we've got a few palm tours now, haven't we?
That's it.
