This seven-bedroom villa in Arabian Ranches' Polo Homes typifies relaxed, family-friendly luxury.

13,500 sq. ft., and on a 25,304 sq. ft. plot, the home enjoys a classic exterior in a cream colour with light brown tiled roofing to make for a charming sanctuary. It overlooks a vast outdoor pool with blue tiling and a cascading water feature.

Bordering this are four palm trees; lush greenery and a spate of trees neighbour this. A wooden deck adjoins while an expansive pergola offers shaded space for entertainment.

This is laid-back luxury that flows into the spacious and modern interiors. Here, white walls and gleaming flooring with geometric patterns offer privacy, but open out to the pool. In support is a show kitchen with cream cabinetry and a sizeable island, as well as a state-of-the-art heavy kitchen.

Elsewhere, the seven bedrooms are expansive and enjoy panoramic views. They are also refined, with wooden floor borders melding with bright tiles, while a walk-in closet is bathed in wooden finishes and parquet. Ample staff quarters accompany, while seven bathrooms add support.

To add to the rest and repose on offer, a luxurious steam room and wood-panelled sauna entice.

Arabian Ranches itself is a much-desired address, with amenities including the Arabian Ranches Golf Club, pools, parks, upscale retail and dining, and the nearby Dubai Polo and Equestrian Club.
